It’s all about soul….smell the cornbread, hear the blues in Tennessee and the sound of jazz in Louisiana. Relive history in the big and bold state of Texas.

Memphis Tennessee, known more these days as the birthplace of Elvis Presley is where the sound of blues began when W.C. Handy penned the first Blues song. Graceland and Beale Street Historic District are two famous addresses in the heart of the south. The ole Mississippi River flows down to New Orleans Louisiana. A city that has gone through tragedies but the soul is there. Jazz and the blues bring the French Quarter to life along the famous Bourbon Street and oh that Creole and Cajun cuisine thrills the senses.

San Antonio began as a Spanish community. Today you find a unique blend of cultures, urban village atmosphere along the River Walk and museums including The Alamo. For Theme Park action, head out of the city to Seaworld and Six Flags.
