CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks for the Graceland pictures, Nicki. I passed on the tour when I was there too.As for the lugee's, I am dry heaving right now and on the verge of this. :barf:Me too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks for the update Nik!While I've never been a huge Elvis fan, I would surely go to Graceland if I was ever near it. I find his house decor extremely tacky....go figure. He should have continued with all the hip swaying, instead of TV watching and he may have lived a bit longer (minus the drugs, of course)No headphones? What a buzz kill!! What's a little head lice between family? I do believe this is the first FF report to include lugee's!! Nice job! :thumbsup3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've seen a couple of the Elvis dramatization of his life movies, in particular the one focusing on Priscilla (Elvis and Me), and there were several comments as to the number of TVs. Always kept the windows dark, and the TV on, his window to the world, or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I understand they had a unique relationship.Wasn't really a documentary, it was a dramatic movie, but they did use some family home movie clips in places. It started with when the two met in Germany, and of course ended with his death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblr....Rennie 224 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 o We saw the Jelly Belly motetorhome at a Thousand Trails Park once, they are full time rv folks who make apperancees at events for them. They go to alot of bike races as Jelly Belly sponsors a team on the circuit. The folks we met were very nice and handed out sample packs to the kids. They even had a sheet that would tell you what flavors to combine to make something like a hot fudge sundee, or a creamcicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Since I had an open morning, I have been catching up on TR's. I am looking forward to living vicariously through your report. I am glad to see that one of your priorities before leaving was to visit the dentist. I have, over the years, had a number of full timers for patients. They just call the office from wherever they are and make their appointments for whenever they will be in the area. Thank God for cell phones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank God for cell phones.Dentist, Orthodontists, Oral Surgeons and I are on a first name basis for most of my life. I try to take care of the million dollar mouth my parents paid for. Plus the kids are getting their permanent teeth in which means they need to learn how to take care of them even better. We learned this trip that my daughter is missing her incisors... which meant off to the orthodontist again!Cell phones are my friend.....Welcome to the ride! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
