I was always excited to visit Atlanta as it has one of the biggest downtowns in USA and it also gave me an opportunity to meet 2 renowned bloggers, the power packed couple, very generous and amazing personalities, Archana and Desh Kapoor and few of my friends.
Finally the day came and I packed my bags for the longest drive of my life at a single stretch.
From Jacksonville, the city where I stay, Atlanta is around 560 km or 350 miles approx.

Attractions to explore in Atlanta
1. Downtown
For everyone it is the aquarium but for me the first thing that’s amazing about Atlanta is it’s
iconic buildings with artistic architecture. As I mentioned earlier it proudly owns one of the
biggest downtowns in USA and I loved it thoroughly.

500 marine spices from all over the world, excellent shows, behind the scene
tours and great interactive activities with the beautiful animals makes this Aquarium the
top attraction of Atlanta. I skipped this as I had already visited SeaWorld in Orlando which is super
duper awesome, I still remember those Killer Whales jumping all over the place.

Finally for all Indians who want to get a feel of India, visit Patel Plaza which is home to Patel Store, variety of Indian restaurants and Indian shops.
After filling my tummy with some lip smacking Indian food, we drove our way back to home.
I wished my friend goodnight and drove towards Kapoor’s Vila where Archana and Dev were waiting for me.
When we met, it didn’t feel like we are meeting for the first time but have known each other for years.
It was a memorable stay with them, felt being at home J
Next day I started my way back to Jacksonville and guess what, I covered 560 km in 5.5 hours, non-stop.
A small accomplishment for the adventure seeking traveler and driver in me. \m/
