Definitely get a car. Public transportation in Atlanta is not something for the faint of heart. Dangerous, and doesn't take you anywhere you would want to be.
In the city, the new aquarium is nice, and the Atlanta history museum if you're into history. I used to recommend Stone Mountain Park, and it's still ok if you avoid the amusement park they built in the middle and just do the nature stuff. If you want to stay downtown, there are several nice hotels in the Peachtree Center complex. I like the Peachtree Plaza, which is one of the tallest hotels in the world, and have a great view from the revolving Sundial Restaurant at the top. If your training is not downtown, find a chain hotel close to where you are doing the training. You do not want to fight rush-hour traffic in Atlanta. When you know which are you'll be in, post it and I'll give you some dining and entertainment pointers. (and yes, I'm still in San Francisco, but I lived in Atlanta for 50+ years, and I was born on Peachtree Street, so I'm qualified to give advice) On 3/19/07, Deanna Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all, > So, the boss approved going to the ASP.net training.
