How many times to Graceland?

[Polk-Salad-Annie]

I wonder how many times people have been to GRACELAND?

I've been in 2002, 2005 and going back in 2007.
Let everybody know and if you can remember the years post them also.

[JDD]

I've been 15 years when the tour was available, but I've been through the house about 19 times because the last two I had VIP passes and went through twice those days.

I'm from the area originally and I try and go every June . I miss one now and then but I try and make it once a year to Memphis and hit Graceland and see some folks I know. I used to stay a week, the last two times I tried to get in and out of Memphis the same day because I'm liking the city less and less. I went the first year it was open, was that 82? Then in 1988, 1991,92 , 94, 96,98,99, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 .

In addition I was up to the house in January of 1977, and 1979 too, before they allowed tours.

my first stay was in 1995
In the meantime I was often there, my next stop is in 2007 during Elvis Week

I think it is my 11th stay

Ive went about 20 times.Things are so different now than they use to be.Back in the late 70's and 80's the conventions were huge and a great way to meet other fans.Elvis fans would be hanging around the hotels in large groups and it seemed like one big family in the old days.Some of the charm of Elvis week has faded somewhat for me because of the way things have changed.I still look forward to going next year for the 30th but that could possibly be the last time for me.

We have been to Memphis four times and visited graceland maybe a dozen times.

Travelling from Ireland via Shannon to Boston, Dublin to Chicago, Chicago, and New Jersey.

Views of the American landscape and cities from the air were often spectacular.

I travelled from Ireland to Graceland in August of this year, and I plan to go again for the 30th Anniversary next year. I can't wait. I'm still talking about my visit this year and I'm home about 2 months. I took loads of photos - I'm only finished sorting them out now, lol.

Ive been to Memphis three times.The first was in 1977 just after Elvis died and then in 2000 and then in 2006.I enjoy going to Graceland but the city itself is not my cup of tea and is a bit run down in places.I don't to tell you the truth feel safe around graceland after dark but havent had any trouble.

I was there in the summer of 1998, I'm going back in August for the 30th anniversary.

Been to Graceland twice....once in 1987 and again in 2000!!!

The first time I went, in 1987, it was "off-season" so to speak (October) so there weren't any real festivities going on, but it was absolutely BREATHTAKING seeing Graceland sitting so majestically on top of the hill for the first time....and I could SWEAR that if you were quiet, you could hear the "Theme to 2001" in the morning air as we approached the gates of Graceland for the first time....the feelings were simply undescribable!!!

However, the second time I went in 2000, it was during "Elvis Week" and it was OUTSTANDING!!! There were SO many things to see and do, people to meet....it was marvelous!! I made so many new friends down there during "Elvis Week" that I still keep in touch with to this day.....it's simply amazing!! If any of you have never made it to Memphis during "Elvis Week", I highly recommend you try to make it there at least once...the only way I can describe it is like one BIG family reunion!!!

TCB!
Mike
