America is a large country and at its heart is the Mississippi River. The river has made a unique contribution to the history, literature and music of the country as its meanders virtually the whole length of the country from north to south. Our focus is on the lower Mississippi which for so long was the highway for the renowned steamboats and \u201cpalaces on paddle-wheels\u201d that so fired the public imagination and gave rise to the great stories of writers like Mark Twain. In Tennessee we enjoy stays in the home of country music, Nashville, before continuing to Memphis, another mecca for musical pilgrims before embarking on a 7 night luxury cruise down the river to New Orleans.<\/p>\n
