Spa Adventure Across America
September 1st, 2007 by Donna
Have you ever wanted to just get in your car and drive? Discover what lies ahead and leave the past behind? Many of us go to destination spas for the fitness and nutrition components, the opportunity to kick-start a healthier approach to living. Some of us add another layer and attempt to go within and peel away the layers to find our authentic self.
Sometimes tragedy brings blessings once the healing begins and sometimes we hold on to a dream and finally figure out a way to pursue it. I’m about to embark on something I’ve always dreamt about, a cross country adventure from east to west and back again. An opportunity to discover more about our great country and revisit some of my favorite destination spas such as Miraval, Canyon Ranch, Red Mountain Spa, Green Valley Spa, Lake Austin Spa with visits to Calavie, Grove Park Inn and others along the way. Visits to Taos and Santa Fe and points beyond are exciting as is the idea of what I may discover about myself. This will be an adventure of body, mind and spirit and of stretching a little bit further and on learning how to live in each moment and be fully present with where I am and not where I’ve been or where I’m going.
I’m excited about this journey and the opportunity to bring you updates and reviews on new spa discoveries.
So with a full tank in my Jeep, a cooler of water and Kenny Chesney singing the Road and the Radio, I will be on my way soon. Stay tuned for updates and news from the road. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll find a way to get on the radio myself.
Happy travels!
