Long Time, No Spa

Well, it's been one of those long, awful winters for me and I apologize to all three of you who may have been wondering what the? And it wasn't even the weather, because we live in ever-sunny Tucson, which is great for now, but get back to me if we're still here in June. Yes, it gets that hot.

We all have stuff to deal with, and this is it for us. Which is why I shall continue my spa trek, even if there is a long absence of postings.....and feel free to comment. Spelling doesn't count. And it won't be on your permanent record, either.

Truth is, after hubby finally recovered, well, still recovering, from his hockey injury, I was too distracted to post anything. When you're a one-car family, taking solo trips is very tricky. And for a good month and change, I wanted to make sure said husband was on the mend so traveling was not an option.

After all, he ended up in the ER when I was in Portland. Talk about drama king! Well, we can laugh now, but it was a close call.

So the next time I venture solo, I am making sure all the necessary back-up plans will be in place. And he is mending, thanks for asking.

And why don't I have new spas to recommend? Mainly because I had nothing to report, no spas to recommend. Well, no NEW spas. I have been slightly house-bound, shall we say.

I am still retaining wonderful memories of my last trek into the spa-world--Portland was a blast, and I urge anyone in the vicinity to get thee to Aequis Spa. Just visiting the website will calm your spirit. Hey, it still works for me and far cheaper than trekking back. The music on the site alone is calming without being airy-fairy. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I plan to return, of course, since my daughter now lives in Portland, the City of Roses. And hopefully we'll be able to live out the horrible Tucson summer up there. Depending on the writing gigs that will magically appear. I'm working on visualizing my intention. You know, The Secret and all that jazz.

Just to recap: I have been very negligent with this site, and I apologize for making you wait so long to hear from me. Joke, people.

Another fabulous place I mentioned earlier and will again, is the fantastic Seawright House, a not-your-typical spa. It is deemed a "Luxury Retreat" and that's no exaggeration. You can be pampered alone or with whomever you choose, in a gorgeous, homey, yet classic atmosphere.

And when you are greeted by owner Melinda Beville, she will welcome you as if you were a special friend. But the time you leave, you will be.

I wish I had more to report, but I am also recovering from a foot sprain....since you asked.

More spa news will be posted when it happens. Meanwhile, celebrate the new era of an intelligent, articulate administration, it's an historical moment we should all remember. Even if you voted for......

And if you are looking for trends in the spa world, let me know and I will be absolutely thrilled to list them for you.



Until next time, your gal Sal.
