From the Georgia Aquarium email newsletter:Swim or SCUBA dive with whale sharks, zebra sharks, sawfish, leopard whiprays and bowmouth guitarfish (just to name a few) in the 6.3 million gallon Ocean Voyager exhibit. No experience is necessary for the swim program, but certification is required to SCUBA dive.Sounds awesome! I wonder if my SCUBA certification from Couples Resorts from 2002 will work here in Atlanta?
There is no way this would work in Atlanta - the public transport is spotty at best.The Great Urban Race is a one-of-a-kind urban adventure. Teams of two solve clues and complete challenges while navigating through the city and using public transit.
It's a scavenger hunt, road race, and wandering party - all rolled into one heck of a fun day.
The last time I rode MARTA the train I was on broke down a station prior to the one I needed and the up escalator stopped; both of which would not have really been that big of a deal, but my sister-n-law and I were on the way to the inaugural ING Half-Marathon along with thousands of other runners (some of which were stuck in a train and then had to walk a couple miles prior to the start of the race)!The riders described a chaotic scene with dozens of people being dumped onto the floor as the escalator briefly stopped and then started running in reverse, rapidly gaining speed for several seconds. "I looked down at the escalator and there were two or three layers of people with arms reached out to me," Razum said.
People near the top of the escalator lost their footing first and fell onto those below, collapsing them like dominoes, according to eyewitnesses.Within seconds, about 50 people were in a heap on the brick floor below.
