Alise’s Favorites and Suggestions –
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…A trip that is so spectacular, you really must see. On a plane you’ll go, not a pony express. Where you are going, you’ll simply have to guess. I shall give you a clue, but the rest you will have to do. Known as Music City, in March it might still be a little chilly. Here in 1956 Elvis recorded “Heartbreak Hotel”, but Hampton Inn is where you will dwell. Oprah Winfrey was raised here, but you will be more excited about their beer. Though this state was last to secede from the Union, you will really enjoy their jazz and country fusion. Roy Orbison wrote “Oh, Pretty Woman” here because a saw a chick that was so hotly, it also happens to be home to the infamous Grand Ole Opry. Home to country and non-country arts including Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Alison Krauss and Sheryl Crow, …this might make you want to take in a show. Have you guessed it yet, my dear? But please do not fear. This trip will be the best start to the New Year!
