Towards the end of last month, Christa and I had to make a return trip to Georgia to take care of some personal business. Enroute we caught the Dallas Cowboys vs New Orleans Saints pre-season football game in Shreeveport and cruised through Atlanta, Georgia. While in Atlanta we stopped in to see the newly opened Georgia Aquarium. Those who know me understand my attraction aquariums and I have made it a point to visit many in my travels around the country. Opened in early summer, the Georgia Aquarium had already seen it's 3 millionth visitor. This was a beautiful, first rate aquarium boasting to be the largest in the US and possibly the West. I'm not sure if there isn't something larger elsewhere, but this is certainly impressive. I recommend this as a must see. We did not travel via RV for this trip as speed was a factor, so we did the hotel thing. I can say that if I have my choices I will stay with the RV gig, I just did not get that much out of the hotel stay. Overpriced, older and not taken good care of was the general impression. And these were the big name guys, in one we even had mushrooms growing by the toilet. I mean, we didn't stay in Presidential Suites, but neither did we stay at "roach motels." Executive business I would call them. The end result was to put me off of hotels yet again. Anyway, that is not to say we did not have a good time, we did, and we got to see some old friends before the trip was over and we had to head home.
