If you recognized that from Finding Nemo you might know where I'm headed next!

Alright so after one heck of a backpacking trip I'd be down for an opera, how about you? Let's head to Australia, but I wouldn't recommend staying there specifically. I think there's a cooler place off of its East Coast.

OK it's not quite open yet due to some problems it ran into regarding location, but there's this really cool place called the Poseidon Undersea Resort in Fiji that I'd want to stay in personally. Construction began in 2001 in the attempt to realize L. Bruce Jones, Chairman of US Submarines dream. It was set to open in 2008, but was delayed due to location issues. That's OK though, at least 150,000 people already preregistered to spend a week in the hotel when it finally opens its doors! I'm not sure when that will be but on their website they said locations for a second resort are being investigated by their management team! It's a pretty penny to stay there (roughly £9,000 per week) but you aren't there to think about money, just enjoy the experience! OK most of us may opt out of staying here purely because of money, but it's my blog and I like to dream. Besides by the time we can actually afford to go there it should be open! There's more to this place too so check out the links! Now I'll talk about what we'll do besides live underwater for a week.

Australia

So Fiji just so happens to be off the East Coast of Australia. In all reality, I think if one can afford the trip to the resort in Fiji they can also afford a boat ride or quick plane to Australia. Luckily everything we would want to do is on the closest coast.

So of course now that we are on the Continent and State of Australia we must go to an opera! The Sydney Opera House is pretty well known and if you don't know about it, whether just randomly or from Finding Nemo, you might be living under a rock. Located in the Harbor of Sydney the House is one of the most recognized buildings as of now. With its unique architecture and beautiful scenery one rarely doesn't recognize the fin like building. If you plan your trip right, in early June you can catch the annual Vivid Sydney festival as well! Then of course the Royal Botanic Garden is prime for a mid-day picnic lunch! Check out all the ongoing operas, music performances, and theater happening at the House though before you plan your trip because a good show can make your trip that much better!

My next recommendation is to head north where you'll find the Great Barrier Reef! Being longer than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing that's is visible with the naked eye from space, the Reef is a remarkable place. With over 100 islands and unique ports and towns scattered within it, this is one place you'll want to visit before you kick the bucket. It is extremely popular so the more accessible beaches and snorkeling grounds will probably be crowded, but if you can get away on your own self-sail ship, or go scuba diving to another island, it's a place of breath taking beauty.
