Sounds wonderful! We are going to Cancun the first week of Sept, and staying at a spa resort, one of the things I look forward to the most are the spa and it's services, they are absolutely heavenly.
I would sure be interested in a spa outing.

Another Idea
Hi Amazing Group,
There are so many spas in California you can't count them all! I will check those out - but - I just got back recently from Las Vegas and they have amazing spas there and wonderful shows to go see at night. Great food, and deals on hotels and travel pop up all the time.
I'm away from home this week taking a class, so I will check out spas in CA - and let you know. Glad this idea got noticed and picked up

Sounds so good.....maybe a year's tour of great spas is in order!
I really would love to go! I'd love the spa, but I'd really appreciate the visits! I'd love to go where lots of us could show up for a few days and pamper ourselves and visit! ma

Sounds wonderful! I would love to really relax and visit with other warriors. Hopefully, we can find something that won't break the bank.
I will be on the lookout for the post!
