From Erik:

My first trip to Mississippi was one of the biggest eye-openers of my travel career. Some the friendliest people live in Mississippi. We toured the state and made a series of videos highlighting the places you have to see on your next trip. Subsequent to my trip, I had the honor of interviewing Governor Haley Barbour and was very impressed with his charismatic honesty. Mississippi deserves your consideration for your next vacation. By the way, try the fried pickles they are out of this world!
