Wouldn't You Like To Go To...

...The Great Barrier Reef?

This is a trip I would love to make, even though the plane ticket alone is pricey.  To be able to swim with the sharks and see the coral would be a dream come true.  

Some of these clams can grow to over 120 years old!

Ah-mazing.

There are a lot of companies that have diving tours.  Here are a few...

1. Diving Cairns 

2. Dive the Reef 

3. Deep Sea Divers Den 

So much beauty and adventure in one place!

Romance of the Rails

I don't know about you, but to me there's something romantic about train travel.  Traveling trains are harder to come by here in Ohio, but out in Massachusetts, we used to ride them from the suburbs into Boston all the time.  It was always so peaceful to lean your head against the cool glass and watch the world crawl by your window.  Trains often make me think of the old West, and I feel a sense of adventure whenever I step onto one.  They are a sign of progress and the past all at once.

It's amazing how far we've come since then: check out this Japanese Bullet Train (known as a Shinkansen)!  This particular model boasts the world's fastest internet.
