As a built-in time away from the family, my BFF planned a spa day for her "ladies in waiting" the day before her wedding.
We got to the spa just over an hour before our massages. That's when we slipped off to a fantasy land where the outside world didn't exist. We were led on a tour and soon thereafter stripped down to nothing and put on wonderful robes.
The four of us started in a whirlpool hot tub and then sat in the sauna for a bit. Wow, who knew sweating out all the alcohol from the night before would feel so good?
We had to be in the waiting room 10 minutes before our massage. They came and got those of us who had 11:00 appointments and led us down a long, dim hallway, where we sat for a few minutes.
I had a hot stone massage and it was way cool. Only not cool because the stones were hot.
My friend reserved the meditation room, where we all met after our massages. Our fantasy land just kept going. It was so nice and quiet and relaxing. We had a delicious lunch there as well, including desserts from Jean Phillipe. Wow!! The work that goes in to those things is amazing!
The spa staff took really good care of us in every way.
It was super indulgent and so super nice.
