I’ve heard from the president of Poseidon Undersea Resorts Inc, L Bruce Jones, about a a typically flippant Dorseyland post a year ago on his company’s planned submarine hotel off Fiji, where I would love to blow my retirement bubbles.

While forwarding another great artist’s conception of the underwater inn, Bruce left a comment in response to an earlier comment by someone who turns out to be a former employee. Office politics!

“Tales of our demise are greatly exaggerated,” Bruce says. “We had a delay because of the coup in Fiji and are on-track and going strong.” Well, we know about coups here in Thailand, so we can sympathise.

“Here’s your home under the sea,” Bruce emailed me separately with the hi-res picture, while admitting that “staying at Poseidon would get a bit spendy”.

I shook the email to see if a voucher on a week’s stay at the hotel might fall out, but no luck. Meanwhile, for drooling purposes, we can continue ogling the plans at PoseideonResorts.com, a really nicely designed site.
