Poseidon Underwater Resort Fiji

No freakin way?! Is this for real?! The Poseidon Underwater resort will be open for business in 2009!

This resort will spectacularly feature six restaurants, seven bars, a dive shop, water sports centre, retail boutique, library/lounge, theatre, conference room, wedding chapel, nine-hole golf course, and tennis courts. An elevator will transport guests under the sea to the 24 suites and the luxury apartment that all include a special interior window film for privacy. Even in day light hours it's nearly impossible to look into the suites from underwater. You can also actually feed the fish from your room by pushing a button from a control console. Unbelievable!

Lets not forget the expected grand price tag that comes with such a place.

$30, 000 per couple includes Transportation from Nadi/Suva to the resort on their company planes.

4 nights in a luxury beach or over water villa.

2 nights in a luxury underwater suite.

Diving onboard a luxury expedition submarine outside the lagoon.

An initiation to piloting a 3 passenger mini sub inside the lagoon with the assistance of a trained pilot.

Scuba diving and snorkling with special programs from beginner to expert.

Walks on the lagoon floor with their sea-trek system.

Lectures and activities with a naturalist in-residence and guest marine scientists.

Wine tasting classes.

Your own personal professionally produced photo album of your experience at Poseidon Mystery Island.

Access to and supplies for all amenities: golf, tennis, watersports, etc.

Access to the resort spa.

Gormet meals and drinks.
*takes a deep breath*

I guess this type of place overwhelms me and I'm not entirely convinced of this concept however it sure is a wonderful fantasy :)

Look familiar?

After my post a few weeks back about Swan House in Atlanta, and the informative responses from Anne Harwell from the Annechovie blog, I had a sudden light bulb moment and decided Anne would be the perfect person to ask to paint this magnificent structure considering she'd visited and knew so much about it.

Ms Harwell's talents are well known within the blogging and etsy worlds as well as been featured in many design magazines.

Within 2 weeks my lovely original watercolour painting had arrived in the mail along with a sweet card featuring Anne's trademark louis chair print.

I LOVE IT! I'm currently having a custom frame made for it as it doesn't measure Australian standard sizes and I can't wait to see the final product hanging on my wall.

Thank you a billion times Anne for creating such a beautiful piece for me to marvel at everyday :)

I can't believe easter is here already! Where does the time go? For all my fellow christian blogging pals I'd like to wish you a very happy easter time and safe and restful holidays to all. I will be taking a break till tuesday and spend what little time we have left of our summer weather out and about with the family.

I also wanted to make mention of all my new pals and their fabulous blogs that make me smile on a daily basis.

(This is Gails most recent original for sale now)

If you haven't heard of Gail McCormack by now then shame on you! Hehe just kidding. Gail is an Australian treasure and paints the most exquisite floral images. Gails art has been bought by other famous Australians such as Alannah Hill. I'm still waiting to purchase my perfect piece but you have to be quick cause it seems as soon as she lists an original on her website it's snapped up immediately. Gails blog is also a delightful read so if you haven't done so already please have a peek ;)

As the title of this charming and enticing blog states - London Calling is - a) a 1979 double album by The Clash b) love of all things british c) diary of design, inspirations, and the woe and wonder of completely renovating and decorating a 1920's tudor-esque bungalow d) all of the above. Need I say more? I am loving it!
