Darn! How could I have mixed Memphis with Nashville!?!? Thank you for correcting me :) (no pun intended). I had seen this video when you first uploaded it (last year) and I came back to it - to watch it again. I love all your uploaded videos because they always show good scenery and can get very informative. Thank you. I have another question and this might be a very hard one to answer. Which are your top three(3) favorite places you have visited thus far? :)
@EvilSecondTwin If I had my choice of vacation destinations without time or budget being a factor, I'd always go back to Hawaii, Vegas or New York City. I've certainly enjoyed other locations and there are more I'd love to experience for the first time, but those are my personal favourites of all the places I've been
......This year, I'm seriously considering of breaking those two long vacations into 3-4 shorter ones. And I'm sure your videos will help me determine on where my next vacation(s) will be. I book with Expedia but I guess if the price is right, I may have to start booking differently. I hope to hear back from you. Thanks.
@EvilSecondTwin Expedia can be great if cost is more of a priority than loyalty points. I also try and combine business travel with a day or two of vacation whenever possible, so I can do some sightseeing (and filming). But I've changed jobs this year, and I won't have that luxury anymore. Anyways, I enjoy my long weekend trips, but keep in mind it can be far from relaxing trying to cram things in like I do
Another thing, a while back ago, I believe you mentioned that you book your trips "directly" with the airline? If you don't mind me asking (again!), is that with the hotel included? How often do you have to fly annually to keep your loyalty status with them? I ask because last year, I was able to take two (2) week long vacations (each) and your video, of your NOLA vacation helped me a great deal of where to go :)................
@EvilSecondTwin Yes, I usually book hotel and flights direct, so I can max out on loyalty points. I don't think most hotel chains have frequency requirements, but airlines sure seem to. Having some sort of activity at least once a year seems common. Most also have an expiry date of five, seven or ten years too
Big Ben, your videos are always great. They always show a bit of everything the city/vacation has to offer. Did you get a chance to visit the Parthenon while in Nashville? I had no idea there was one here ( a replica of the Greek one in the U.S.). Also, besides Graceland, I didn't think Nashville had much more to offer but after watching your video, it reminded me that I'm almost always wrong whenever I assume things :).
@EvilSecondTwin I appreciate the support, but don't confuse Memphis and Nashville. They're actually several hours apart and on opposite corners of Tennessee. And I've not had a chance to visit Nashville yet. One day perhaps...
Oh, and by the way, besides that your videos are always fun to watch, they also always have good music.
