Coming up in May I will be taking a trip to Atlanta for a few days, and then a few days in Miami. There is good and bad to this though. It is for work, so it is all expenses paid :) , but that means I will probably mostly be doing som onsite work and not have time to have fun. I don't expect the work to be all that hard, or take the whole time, so I will have some free time. I am guessing I will mostly be able to get away and have some fun at night.

So, anything that I can look into doing while in either place for some fun after work? Just FYI I am in IT, and the job I am being sent for is installing some new PCs for the client. Basically it is roll out 50 PCs per site, and then stick around the next day incase anyone needs support. Probably a third day to inventory the servers (probably about a 2 hour job). I am guessing that I should be out pretty early in the evening really, defenitely by 5 or at the very latest 6 on the support days. I am still not sure of the exact locations I will be at, or if I will have a car or not yet. Still any ideas on what I could look into doing would be appreciated, bars, restaurants, etc.
 
If the Braves are home while you're there, go see a game at Turner Field. It's a beautiful place to watch a ballgame and has a nice oldtime baseball feel.

Unfortunatley all I know at this point is that I will be going on this trip the first half of May. I don't have any dates set, or know where the branch offices I need to go to are located yet. Hopefully I will be getting some more detailed information next week sometime.
 
If ya get some time during the day in Miami you might want to check out bladeart and Szabo knives. I don't know if they have retail showrooms but they are both in Miami. I honestly don't hink you will have any trouble finding ways to entertain yourself at night in Miami.
 
Catch a Braves game at Turner Field.
Visit the Georgia Aquarium... largest in the world. (They have a tank that holds two whale sharks, plus about another 10,000+ fish)
Restuarants... there are a ton... all cultures and price ranges.
The World of Coca-Cola downtown is not a bad afternoon attraction.
Six Flags is about 30 minutes from the hub of it all.
The Cheetah for a gentleman's club... enough said.
Check out Phipps Plaza in Buckhead for a mall with high end stores.
Check out Olympic Park downtown and walk across the street and take a tour of CNN.
