When I was going to board, one of the staff members told me that I could not board with my passport bag because it was tree items and I would need to check a bag. This was so stupid ! The bag was small. So I had to put my things in my pockets, put the funny bag inside the other bag. Then go throw it. Then in the plane put everything back again in my funny bag.

The state of Mississippi is full of friendly, quaint towns and wide-open spaces harboured by mansions with an interesting history. The allure of Mississippi is often overlooked by tourists, who tend to favour the state’s more prominent neighbours, Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee. But, those travellers who do book flights to Mississippi will find this deep south state inviting and full of activity.
Most flights to Mississippi arrive in the state’s capital, Jackson, which is commonly recognized by its landmark capitol building. Travellers staying in Jackson will find a plethora of cultural centres, historic monuments, and museums to explore. If a mansion strikes your fancy, head to the city of Natchez, which lies on the Louisiana border and is home to dozens of preserved pre-war mansions.
Take some time to explore coastline of the “Magnolia State” on the sandy beaches of Biloxi and Gulfport. Both cities incurred the wrath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but the rebuilding has begun and today the cities offer travellers a host of things to do. If entertainment is what you came for, Mississippi can claim fame to some of the great artists of past generations including Tennessee Williams, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Rodgers, and BB King.
Mississippi has short mild winters and long humid summers. Summer temperatures are mostly the same throughout the state, and many places exceed 37 degrees (Celsius). The Gulf Coast is warmer in winter with average January temperatures about 10 degrees while the northeast is in the low single digits. A small amount of snow or sleet is typical, but cold spells are so short the ground rarely freezes. Normal precipitation ranges from about 127-165cm (50 to 65 inches).The hurricane season is late summer and early autumn, and tornadoes hit land in the spring.
Bus service along the coast is frequent, but less frequent inland. Trains run through the state, stopping at Jackson and Greenwood. Steamboating down the Mississippi River with ports of call at several cities is a relaxing but expensive tour of the western part of the state. Off the river, the best way to see Mississippi is by car.
The Delta is best seen from its back roads. You need to be careful as this is a gun-toting area, encounters with the local police are to be avoided, and camping is not recommended. That said, the birthplace of the blues has great music, scenery, and festivals, so book ahead.
The unspoiled Natchez Trace Parkway has no commercial vehicles, no advertising, and no commercial buildings. A two-lane meander from Jackson to Tupelo with plenty of places to stop. This parkway is also popular with bicycle tours.
Once you are in Natchez and Vicksburg, bus and horse-drawn carriage tours take you to the sights and battlefields. Downtown Natchez can also be explored on foot.
Along the Gulf Coast, beachcomber trolleys run from the beach to the business centre of Gulfport.
