When you think of America, the obvious places to go are Boston, Florida and New York, however there is now a city that can challenge these and that is Atlanta, Unspoilt by tourism as yet they provide all the essentials, shopping Malls, Outlet centres and excellent restaurants. The best value for money is places like the Jimmy Carter Presidential Centre it is a must for all people old and young and at $5 excellent value for money, here you can trace Carter's rise from peanut farmer to President through pictures articles and video, there is also a replica of the Oval Office. You will also see gifts from other coutries leaders and after you have finished, you can take a stroll around the Japenese Gardens or have a drink in the restaurant. Other musts are a tour of CNN studios at $6 and the World of Coca Cola at $12 here you get to sample every product made by coca cola and coca cola products from all over the world be advised avoid the sample of a drink that came from italy!!!
For all the shopaholics there is plenty to cater for like the Georgia Outlet Mall approximately 30 mins from Atlanta but worth it over 160 shops like Reebok, Adidas etc exceptional value for money.
Finally the best restaurant in Atlanta in my opinion has tobe 'The Sundial' it is situated in the Western Peachtree Hotel, the restaurant is situated on the 73rd floor, revolves and is accessed via a glass lift, not recommended for those with a fear of heights. This restaurant is expensive at around $60 a head but the views and the food more than make up for this.
If I had any complaints then it would have to be the Heat, in June the weather is nearly 100 degrees so sunblock and appropriate clothing is suggested

Review of Atlanta
Advantages: Great frequent flier scheme, reliable airline that knows what it is doing Disadvantages: Domestic flights rather basic and penny-pinching, no bimbo stewardesses (some might see that as an advantage!)
