A Day in the Spa

I figured I would share about our vacation before all this commotion with the election sweeps me away...

A week at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, CA.

My thoughts about spas is that some spa treatments should be part of healthcare coverage. hehehe.

Rolando and I had the Harmony Journey for two where we had our own suite, with 2 massage therapists giving our treatments simultaneously, scrumptious food, jacuzzi, yada yada yada. You get the picture. The massages were wonderful! So, I do think massages are necessary for good health. With all the rat race that's going on, people need to slow down, destress, clear our minds, relax, and simply enjoy.

(Of course we have to figure how much to tax people if we were to put massage therapy on basic health care coverage... See, politics is a part of life. Embrace and talk about it!)

We also had the shiatzu massage and a facial. Rolando and I luuuvvvvv facials. And Rolando really really loves facials. =)

We enjoyed many other things. The sun and warmth. The lazy pace of days. The food. The dungeness crab I devoured at a nearby seafod restaurant. =) Our time together! =D

Something that comes to mind about vacations is that it does not have to be a trip away from reality!

During one of our expensive lunches, I looked around wondering if people here are in touch with the rest of the world, and pondered why experiences such as this are limited to the rich or to the middle class who can charge their vacations to their credit cards...

My musings usually take an interesting turn...
