Travel Agent Musings

By Robbie Woods

Do you want to embrace your inner mermaid? American submariner L. Bruce Jones wants to give you the chance.

For more than 6 years, he’s been pushing a big idea: an underwater hotel.

Now, his dream is finally coming true.

I hope you like seafood.

The facility includes 25 suites, a gym, a bar, a library, and a restaurant. There’s even a wedding chapel, for those who want to tie the knot nautically.

As for location, Jones has purchased a small, privately-owned island in the northeast of Fiji. You will arrive on the island first, then take a special elevator down into your room in the lagoon.

There you will be greeted by a rich and beautiful underwater ecosystem. You’ll even be able to explore the reef in personal a submarine provided by the resort.

Of course, the entire resort is one big submarine. Only stationary, and far more comfortable.

And no need to worry about safety: each compartment can be sealed off in the event of an emergency, or raised to the surface if it needs repair.

Now THAT'S what I call a water bed.

But if you prefer to stay on dry land, Jones plans to build additional accomodations on the island, along with restaurants, and even a golf course.

I know what you’re thinking: “sign me up!”

Hold your horses; it’s still under construction.

And if you ever want to visit, you should probably start saving now; a week here will cost you $15,000 per person.

Or if you really want to go big, you can  book the entire resort for $3,000,000.

Did I mention this place was exorbitantly expensive?

Yeah…

I don't have a pun for this caption.
