Mr. and Mrs. John Heerhold and Family-Aurora, Illinois

We just returned from Memphis Tennessee where we stayed at The Peabody Hotel. What a magnificent hotel probably the nicest place I had ever stayed. The kids enjoyed seeing the ducks come down the elevator and into the fountain at the hotel. It had a ton of character and featured a lot of southern charm. Our trip included a welcome cocktail party with our own Elvis impersonator. We also went on a 6 hour bus tour of Memphis which included live entertainment on the bus and a tour of Graceland. The Graceland Tour Package we had sells for 68.00 each and we had 5 people there. We saved well over 600.00 on this trip and had an incredible time. We enjoyed hanging out on Beale Street as well as going to the historic Lorraine Motel where Dr. King was shot. I was able to show my kids history as opposed to them reading about it in a book.

The only way to see Memphis is to bring your own Elvis!

DreamTrip 2

Mary and I went to Playa Del Carmen and styed at the Grand Porto Real. We had a fantastic time and enjoyed the friendships of almost 200 other DreamTrippers that were there. We went on a Catamaran ride and jet skiing. the vollyball games were killer and there was a lot of trash talking. the best thing was I got to spend a few days with the person who is most important to me and did it in a paradise location. The resort was great and food was exceptional. We saved over 500.00 on this trip.
