Back to Reality (aka I'm Already Missing the Whitsundays)

Back to life.  Back to reality.  After five amazing days in the Whitsunday Islands, we’re back in Brisbane and it’s business as usual.  But, I doubt anyone is interested in the boring details of normal life.  For the first time in a while, I can actually blog about a REAL Australian adventure.  Woo hoo!  To avoid any mind-numbingly long entries, I’ve decided to break this travel long into several small articles, just as I recorded our journey during the trip.

First, a little background information.  The Whitsunday Islands are comprised of 74 islands off the central coast of Queensland, Australia and sit in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.  We flew into Prosperine, where we caught a shuttle to Airlie Beach, which was the launching point for our adventure.  From Airlie Beach, we caught a water taxi to Whitehaven Beach.  This was the starting point for our kayak trip.  Over the course of four days, we paddled from Whitehaven Beach to Henning Island, then to Joe’s Beach on Whitsunday Island, then to Sandy Bay on South Molle Island.  On our final day, we made our way back to Shute Harbor on the mainland.  It was a challenging, but unforgettable trip.  Check in tomorrow, for a detailed description of our first day.
