“Writers and travelers are mesmerized alike by knowing of their destinations.”  --Eudora Welty

The choices stretch before you, endless and exciting:  To see the birthplace where Elvis made his entrance to the world stage ... To walk among the nation’s largest remaining Civil War earthworks from the largest siege in the Western Hemisphere, at the Crossroads of the Confederacy ... To stand where James Meredith stood, surrounded by National Guardsmen, about to walk through the doorway of history ... To be inside the study where William Faulkner composed his masterpieces, where the walls bear his handwritten outline for one of those masterpieces ... To dive into Grenada Lake or the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway ... To immerse yourself in beauty and history at any one of the dozens of magnificent antebellum mansions.
