I have arrived!
Okay so a little adventure on the way... I was so eager to leave I fogot to take the address. So I drove to peterbourgh and asked for directions to Bancroft, once i got there, asked for directions to Grail springs. Amazingly the people I asked for directions from had no experience with Google...no internet!! How is that possible? I only had to make about 6 U-turns and drive down every road in Bancroft to find it. I must be the only person I know who enjoys the adventure of leaving without an address!
I've set up my room, filled out 5 pages of health information - including my philosophy on life!? Hope I got that one right... While I type I'm sipping hot water with lemon. Today's snack is air popped pop corn...OMG I'm going to starve! I should have brought food!! The good news is they have a fitness center and yoga room, a gift shop, a sauna and hot tub (outside - yikes!), and a nice big room with lots of light, internet and magazies (Vanity Fair's lasted on Justin Beiber!) I will survive! The best news is that there is a kettle in my room and some kind of sugar - Viva Starbucks to the rescue hiding in my drawer- shhhh don't tell the others... I guess the next thing to do is decide to nap, read, or sauna...ahhh

Dreaming of Grail Springs
Dreaming of Grail Springs
Finally booked a trip to Grail Springs Health & Wellness Spa. I've heard of this place for years, and love the cook book "Holistic Detox" by Madeleine Marentettle. I love the pictures and use the recipes often - especially during Detox times. Lately I've had a yearning to get away and all I could think about was this place. I know it sounds a little crazy, but I'm looking forward to the 4 hour drive to clear my mind (it might take the whole way), and being forced to eat really healthy. Plus, I can't wait to be a student again. I'm always so full of ideas and inspiration after these kinds of trips. Even though this is a trip, I'd like to share my experience with all of you who wonder what really happens at these healthy retreats... So, you can read all about it daily through this blog. Based on previous trips you'll likely read about my coffee withdraws, the weird rituals or strange spa treatments, and maybe a few enlightened moments too. In the mean time, I just keep dreaming... Leaving next Sunday!
