I don't have time for exhausting vacation!

“So, how was your vacation?”
─ Tiring. I’m exhausted.

We hear this so often nowadays, it almost sounds normal. Be it after a week on a cruiseship in the Carribean or after a couple of weeks racing accross Europe, lots of vacationers come back in a worst shape they were when they left. Maybe we just plan our vacations at the same crazy pace we run our lives?

When I first went to Spa Eastman (that was many years ago!), it was a short stay of 3 nights only. But when I got back to work the day after, I felt like I had been away for a whole week. I started telling everyone that 3 days at Spa Eastman were worth a full week anywhere else.

The results of a study conducted by Professor Mary H. Tabacchi, Ph.D., R.D., of Cornell University School of Hotel Administration confirm my feeling. According to this study, a visit to a destination spa, more than any other type of vacation, will also result in a feeling of increased energy, focus and creativity in the workplace. Researchers polled 500 randomly selected destination spagoers and compared their responses with a similar demographic of non-destination spa vacationers following their vacation experiences. This study is the first to quantitatively show the benefits of destination spa vacations.

After a stay in a destination spa, spagoers felt more alert, appeared to have a very high ability to resolve challenges, had an increased ability to relax each evening and felt better able to handle everyday life. Even family and friends noticed a definite positive change!

Twenty years ago, spa vacations used to sound like a caprice, a real luxury. Now, it is a serious option for living a healthier life… and having the greatest vacations of all!

    True destination spa vacations – those geared towards health & life enhancement -can really make a difference. You won’t be tired, exhausted, or need another vacation. Instead you will feel refreshed – isn’t that what a vacation is supposed to do?

    Hi Michelle,

    Thanks for your comment.
    You’re right: after a destination spa vacation, not only do we feel refreshed but we also have new tools to make it last. And that’s even better!
    Hope you come and blog with me again!
