The Best Job in the World--Starts July 1

Remember all the hoopla over the job offer from Queensland Tourism in Australia for a dream job of caretaker for a getaway on Hamilton Island? It paid $100,000 and included a house (the Blue Pearl) and the opportunity to enjoy all the amenities of the island including diving. The winner of the job was also required to keep a blog.

Well, the winner was announced in May. It is Ben Southall from the UK. He's a great blogger of his travel adventures: The Life and Times of Me. . .Ben Southall. Scroll down midway and his posts of the final competition are there.

I wish him all the best and envy all the great diving adventures ahead.
