MISSISSIPPI BLUES HIGHWAY 61
 and so much more! 
I’m excited to take you on a journey through the heart of America.

This iconic route spans from New Orleans, Louisiana all the way up to Memphis, Tennessee, and is filled with rich culture, history, and of course, music. This historical route, also known as the Mississippi Blues Trail, documents historic events using markers that tell the stories of influential people, places, and events that shaped the creation of blues music. Keep in mind that with so much to explore, it may take multiple visits or one very extended trip to fully embrace this cultural treasure.
But our journey was not just about music; The Mississippi Delta offers much more than just a musical journey; It is pertinent to note that the subject matter also pertains to valuable artifacts from ancient Mississippi, Civil War history, DELTA HISTORY, and surprisingly JEWISH HISTORY. And what better way to enjoy these treasures than to incorporate them in your road trip through the birthplace of blues. Here you will discover some of Mississippi’s hidden treasures.

MAINE – all of Maine!

Well, not quite. As we journeyed along the coastline from the New Hampshire border to the Canadian border, venturing through Acadia National Park and driving north on US 1 to the very beginning or end of the highway, before making our way back down through the central region of Maine, we only skipped over the western part of the state. There are just so many different aspects to this rugged coast that beckon to be discovered!

MEXICO – XCARET and MAYAN RUINS

Hotel Xcaret Mexico is an amazing all-inclusive resort located in the beautiful Yucatan region. What’s even better is that guests have access to multiple theme parks during their stay. It truly feels like heaven on earth here! Although our main reason for visiting was a wedding, we made sure to take some time to venture out of the resort and immerse ourselves in the fascinating Mayan culture.
