I'm planning on doing about a 8-9 day loop in late May from Bossier City, LA covering the following cities:
Bossier City, LA
Vicksburg, Miss
Jackson, Miss
Birmingham, AL
Atlanta, GA (for a Braves game)
Gatlinburg, TN (National Park, whitewater rafting)
Nashville, TN (Opryland, Grand Ole Opry)
Memphis, TN (Graceland, Beale St, barbeque)
Hot Springs, Ark (professional bath, spa, etc.)
Bossier City, LA

I plan on spending one day in each city except for two days in Memphis.

Does anyone have any suggestions about routes, things to see, places to eat in these cities or between them?

TIA
