Later this afternoon I'm flying to Atlanta, Georgia where I'll begin a nine day holiday through the south.

(And I'm sure some of you who read and misinterpreted yesterdays posting "Welcome to the Neighbourhood" will think this is where I belong.)

Three days in Atlanta, three days in Nashville and three days in Memphis. That's the itinerary and thanks to my laptop computer, my amazing Nikon camera and high speed internet FreddieP.ca readers are going to join me every step of the way.

In Atlanta we're going tour CNN headquarters on Saturday afternoon, go to a private southern barbeque on Saturday night, and then on Sunday night we're going to Turner Field to watch the Braves and St. Louis Cardinals.

On Monday we're heading for Nashville where we'll take in all the sights and sounds of music city including Printers Alley and a fantastic steak house that Neighbour John told me about.

We'll check out the Grand Ole Opry, go to some neat bars with live music and maybe I'll get the pulse of the city regarding the Predators.

I also plan to check out the Predators arena and maybe take a tour around the Titan's stadium. I'm weird that way. I love looking at sports venues.

I've talked to several people over the past few weeks and I haven't met one person who didn't have fabulous things to say about Nashville.

On Thursday we'll shoot over to Memphis and do all you're supposed to do in Memphis, including visit the home of that fat bastard who died on the toilet 30 years ago next month.

It may sound gruesome, but I wouldn't mind doing a drive-by of the motel where the great Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. It's a bit of a downer, but it's history just the same.

It's going to be busy, but it's going to be fun so click on FreddieP.ca starting on Monday morning to see what's going on.

Loving yuz all, each and every one of yuz.
