The Wes Paul Band Arrive in Memphis
The Plane landed in Memphis Airport at 4:25 p.m. local time - time back in Liverpool was seven hours difference. it was quite a hike through the airport but finally we reached the entrance and Becky went off to check out the car hire company; It was a pleasant surprise when we told that a bus would take us to the car hire company (Dollar) which was nearby the Airport. Originally we had booked a small two door Chevrolet  and I wasn't looking forward to driving a small car 1500 miles with all of our kit and three guitars.

The guy at Dollar tried to sell us an upgrade which sounded excellent except for the extra cost, he wanted an extra $250 which we couldn't afford and so we declined, however, he said I'll give you a free upgrade. This was great news and the car we were offered was fantastic (Dodge Journey SUV) an absolute dream which was to be super reliable. We loaded up and there was room to spare.
