Our Getaway to Winter Sunshine!
June 11th, 2008 by Richard & Joey Marc
Yes, I know we have been a little slack with blogging the last week but check out what we have been doing! We have spent the last week in the gorgeous sunny Whitsundays!
Everyone needs a break every now and then… So, in a last minute decision we jet setted off to grab some sunshine during the aussie winter up north. We flew out of Sydney and headed to Cairns then jumped on a tiny 12 seater plane to Dunk Island. Our relaxation destination for the week and that is exactly what it was, full of stunning sunsets every single day, beautiful white sandy beaches and loads of sunshine… The days were warm even warm enough to sunbake and it is winter!! I was so excited about that
In the busy every day lifestyle we live, we are all working extremely hard with our jobs and everyday committments however it is important for us also to take time out to relax, reflect and experience. Reflect on what are we working towards and is there balance within our life. Do I have work, family life and most importantly a balance between everything?
Think about this for a moment…. if you were to sit on a sea saw which way would you fall? Towards the side where work is weighing you down or is there a balance on the sea saw with work, life and play? It is easy to get swept away in the fast paced lifestyle we live, so how do we slow down and enjoy each moment. Firstly by taking time out to really sit back and reflect on what your lifestyle is like. What kind of life am I living, do I have balance and do I LOVE it?
A great way to reflect is to write. Grab a book and write down your thoughts about your lifestyle, what do you love, what do you like or dislike, what are any challenges you face, what are your grateful for and most importantly what you would like to change in order to achieve pure happiness and enjoyment.
Don’t let the daily rat race get to you, take a break whether it be to go for a drive for the day to your favourite hideaway or jump on a plane and visit the destination of your choice but most importantly have fun and relax with your friends or your loved ones.
Check out some pictures of our trip below.
We went on a mountain bike ride around the island…

And my favourite, the most stunning sunset I have seen in a long time. Photo taken straight from the beach…
Have a wonderful day!
