I have recently returned home from my short but much needed holiday to Jamaica. My friend Shawn and I were very fortunate with the weather as it rained for about 4 days straight before we arrived. The weather ended up being perfect for us the entire 5 days and I can honestly say that I had a great time away.



The real reason for going was to just slow down and relax for 5 days awayfrom my busy schedule back home. Jamaica was a great pick as the weather was perfect and the traveling time to and from Jamaica was minimal for a 5 day holiday. For those of you that don’t know, I currently live in Ottawa, which is the capital of Canada. The weather when I left was cold and we had plenty of snow to deal with. Along with the winter weather comes the grey skies, so it was also nice to get away to bright blue skies which can have a very positive affect on a person’s day.



We mainly stayed on the resort which allowed us to do the main thing we wanted to do, RELAX! A lot of time spent around the pool, and in the ocean. I enjoyed just lounging in the sun and listening to Jamaican music. The people and staff of the resort were very friendly which made the holiday even more enjoyable. A few memorable things from the holiday were traveling into town to take in the culture (of course I did some shopping), a spa day with massage, and the cuisine was excellent every day.



Yes, I did manage to work out a few times as well. I can’t tell my clients to doit and me not to…that wouldn’t be too good now would it? Shawn kept me accountable as well for making sure I got the workouts in…so thank you Shawn!
Looking back I wish I would have done a few more minor excursions outside the resort, and of course a longer time away would have been nice. However, I did need at least a short time away and I am glad I did.
