My Journey Across the U.S. - Day Four 10/27/2012: Memphis, Here I Come!

The drive from Arkansas to Memphis - easy peasy.  Completely gorgeous.  Fall leaves.  This is what I was looking forward to.  Hilly roads...I had to talk nice to Marilyn...she made it without a hitch.  Although, Memphis drivers MIGHT be in the running for the # 2 spot of worst drivers in the USA.

I checked into the Four Points Memphis Southwind.  Check in was smooth.  I ate at this place called Steak n Shake - Memphis' version of Wendy's - Blah.  I didn't really feel like venturing out to find a BBQ spot.  I didn't really feel comfortable here and I didn't want to drive anymore.

At this point Hurricane Sandy was looking fierce and I knew there was no way I would make it into Boston before she hit, so I started making plans to stay in Nashville, my next stop, for four nights instead of one.  

Again, my friends back home were looking out for me.  I got a hold of Darcy, who had her fiance, Brandon call his parents in Franklin, TN to see if I could stay with them until it was safe to drive to the coast.

Done and done.  Tomorrow, since I wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere, I would go to Graceland!!!!  YAY!
