When perfect beach days coincide with weekends

It is gut wrenching when gorgeous weather falls on a weekday. Even the most dedicated employees can feel the beach beckoning.

Tremendous will power and focus are required to resist that urge to grab your sunglasses and drive to the shore. There’s no denying it, that call of the beach is potent.

At the mere thought of going to the beach, your various senses are bombarded.

Listen carefully and you can hear the cries of children jumping the waves and gulls flying overhead. Close your eyes and you can practically feel the warm sand between your toes, smell the fresh sea air, taste your favourite picnic food and see the words dancing across the page of your beach read.

Fortunately, every now and then, the right weather and your time away from the office will intersect, so heed that call. Grab your family or friends, then head straight for the coastline.

When a perfect beach day coincides with your weekend, you're likely to feel like a lottery winner. Getting consecutive beach days on Saturday and Sunday – bliss! Add a holiday Monday to the mix –

sheer AWESOME!
