Funny story
I quote the author next:"For years now, of my life’s goals has been to scuba dive at the Great Barrier Reef. It may just have something to do with growing up in Alberta, the most bland, colourless, and featureless place on Earth, but pictures of the reef always made it look like the most beautiful place possible.
A few months ago, I finally made the trip. Not to dwell on the negatives, but here’s approximately what it cost:
Flight to Melbourne – $1500
Flight to Cairns – $500
Hotel in Cairns – $150
Dive boat rental – $200
Dive cost – $120
All told, it cost me close to $2500, and it was totally worth every penny. The Great Barrier Reef really is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. It not only lived up to my dreams, but surpassed them. The diving instructor even took a picture of me holding a sea cucumber. It was pretty much the greatest moment of my entire life. I couldn’t wait to get the picture developed so I could frame it and hang it proudly on my wall. I got home, got my pictures developed, and started leafing through them right in the store. I had to see how that picture turned out.
It turned out like this:Link
Ha Ha!
