Cindi - 26 Apr 2004 16:12 GMT If anyone has gone to a weight loss spa or retreat, can you please post your opinion, review, etc., especially including the name of the place and the cost, how was the counselling, programs, food, etc. I am thinking of going but they are quite expensive and none (that I have found so far, at least) seem to offer quite what I want. Would appreciate any comments or reviews.
Thanks! Cindi

A trip to Dollywood with the granddaughters, trip to NC or SC with the aunt, sister and cousins, bike patrol, etc. I'm having a hard time fitting everything in. And I still have to use that free airline ticket I received. I'm not sure I'll be able to afford to use it after everything else <g

I'd actually love that Beverly. We could go to Acadia National Park and ride on the carriage roads. Let's do it in September or October after the throngs of tourists leave and the weather is glorious. I'm always envious of your bike adventures but I don't trust the drivers on these roads to actually get another bike. I rode a lot when we lived in Columbia Maryland. My repair guy had been on the Olympic team at one time <s>.

I have a trip planned with the aunt, sister and some cousins for the Sept/Oct time frame this year. It will be a non-biking trip as they're all walkers or non-exercisers<g> I've never been to Maine. NH is about as close as I've been. The aunt, cousins and I did a trip a couple of years ago and visited parts of Vermont and New Hampshire. The country was beautiful.
One of the items on my "things to do" list is to ride a bike trail in each of the states. I could mark Maine off my list<g> I've already marked off Missouri, NY and Virginia. Hmmmmm......trip to the east coast, bike trail in each state....sounds like a nice trip.

We can be the spa... We will exercise you and feed you. There will be no time to do much of anything else...
Good Luck

Good thing I'm headed for the People's Republic of Massachusetts tomorrow <s> It looks like 60 and partly cloudy in your fair city. That will be a vast improvement.

It's been rainy and crappy here too, but it looks like the sun is trying to break through.
