Chapter 18: Hawaii

Hawaii is a tourist center. The state and its island bring in millions of tourists to escape their everyday lifestyle, nothing is quite like Hawaii. Tennessee's landscape is nothing like Hawaii, however both states do have tourist attractions that help boost the economy and bring people into their states. Nashville city is a major tourist attraction. When I visited a few years ago I spent much of my time in the heart of Nashville. There was so much to do, especially if you are a country music fan. Even if you aren't a country music fan, there is so much history in Tennessee. Civil war trails, National Parks, Jazz music, horseback riding, and much more. All of these attractions are topped with a beautiful landscape and friendly people, Tennessee makes the perfect vacation spot.

I fell in love with Tennessee when I had the opportunity to visit a few years back. My aunt moved to Tennessee in the eighties to pursue her music career. She showed me downtown Nashville, Memphis, Beale Street, Sunland Studios where Elvis got his start, horseback riding through Tennessee's forestry and much much more. Nashville, Tennessee is by far my favorite city in the United States and I am planning my visit this summer! See you there!!!
