here for a full brochure Dear Girlfriends: When
was the last time you planned something special, just for you? When was the last
time you left family members, friends, business and social commitments behind?
When did you last take time to simply pamper and rejuvenate your mind, body and
soul? For some of us, it's been way too long. It's
time. Time for girlfriends, time to be pampered, fluffed
and buffed. Time to stretch ourselves with activities from morning meditation
to yoga classes and cooking demonstrations to healthy lifestyles for weight management.
It's time for facials, massage, pedicures, manicures and body wraps. It's time
for great healthy food, reading, writing and chatting with girlfriends. More active?
There's mountain biking, hiking, golf, tennis, a climbing wall and other adventure
activities. Miraval is a luxury destination spa located
33 miles north of the Tucson in Catalina, Arizona. Rated the Number One Readers
Choice Award in Spa Finder, this resort has been given the highest ratings by
The Oprah Winfrey Show, National Geographic Adventure, Body & Soul and Women's
Health magazines. Of course, it's a Virtuoso property - we wouldn't expect anything
less.  Comprised
of just 106 casita-style deluxe accommodations with patio are situated amidst
the serene Santa Catalina mountains in 135 acres of secluded sequoia cacti desert.
This "Life in Balance" destination spa is an all inclusive resort* offering
a variety of programs for guests including Tai Chi; "Relationships and Dynamics"
sessions, hiking among the cacti, a rock-climbing wall, rhythm classes; dance
classes, horseback riding, nature and photography and much more. Dining includes
some of the world's finest spa cuisine and the smoothie bar and cappuccino/latte
stations are tempting with their pumpkin muffins and zucchini breads.
The
spa building itself speaks to relaxation with its tranquil setting and soft fountain...it's
here that a massage begins with a jacuzzi dip, steam and plunge pool moment and
then the comforts of a soft terry robe before wading off to a bit of heaven. Note
that just about everything is included in your fare: accommodations, meals, all
activities and gratuities. The only extras you would pay for are spa treatments,
golf boutique purchases and alcoholic beverages. To assist
in that regard, we've included $1,000 per person credit per week for spa treatments
or golf; a $250 retail boutique credit (yes, you can shop) and some other specials
just for you. And, no tipping is accepted. Please look
download the full
brochure and schedule September 7-14, 2008 as Your Time. Fill
your cup and join me. You deserve it. Warm regards,
Christine Niskanen  SAMPLE
