Atlanta

Don't leave the kids at home.Atlanta's more then just a Delta hub, it's a vibrant metropolis and a great place to bring the kids.

Do check out the world's largest aquarium,
the Georgia Aquarium

There's also Zoo Atlantawhich recently welcomed both two panda cubs and a newborn baby gorilla.

Don't stay downtown.Downtown has some benefits, such as putting you close to main tourist sites.

Do stay at mom-and-pop bed-and-breakfastssuch as the Social Goat Bed and Breakfast in Grand Park.

Don’t even think of letting that meter expire.PARKAtlanta’s meter maids will slap a ticket on your vehicle the second your time is done. Do not test them...

Do keep track of your time.

Don’t limit yourself to the big-ticket sights downtown.That'd be like going to New York and never leaving Times Square.

Do venture out to the in-town neighborhoods where locals gather.Check out dining in the Westside, the thrift-store finds in Little Five Points and the nightlife in the Old Fourth Ward.

Don't ask for a Pepsi, or a "pop."We've never heard of such things.

Do understand that you can have any soft drink you like......as long as it's from Coca-Cola.
