There are so many countries now open for business and rather than focus on the usual suspects, we wanted to find out about holidays with a difference, maybe something on people’s bucket list or the kind of holiday you have never thought about but sparks your interest.
Of course, it was time to speak with our travel specialists at Idle Travel and they told us about a brilliant, unique holiday experience we think you will like, especially if you are a music enthusiast.
This is a journey through America’s musical heartland, from the birth of jazz and the cradle of rock ‘n’ roll to the undisputed capital of country music.
This wonderful holiday is crammed full of highlights and infused with the magic, mystique, sights and sounds of the south. Beginning in Georgia where you will travel through the world of WC Handy, Robert Johnson, Fats Domino, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and – of course – the one and only Elvis Presley.
Stay in New Orleans, the laid back Big Easy. See Tupelo, ‘the King’s’ birthplace, and Memphis where he made his home. Finally, head to the guitar pickin’, banjo playin’ songwriters city of Nashville, Tennessee.
