Massage. I love it. I would get one every week if I could. Sadly, my limited financial resources put masssage a notch below two other critical recurring expenses: Shrink and Cleaning Lady.
I satisfy my massage passion by trying to get one whenever I travel. This fits the "Take Me Away" experience of travel, even when I'm traveling for work. Today I begin a short series on interesting travel massages I've had. Please add yours as you see fit. I'm always looking.
First Up: Ten Thousand Waves, Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is a Japanese, Zen-like day spa high up in the mountains above Santa Fe (entry path featured in the photo). Totally transporting, Ten Thousand Waves is practically worth the trip to Santa Fe. In addition to the massage, the spa features communal and private baths, which are particularly blissful after dark. My suggestion. Have an early evening massage, watch the stars come out from the baths, and then go eat a late dinner in town at Geronimo.

Ditto! Just reading your blog in this Crazed city brought me calm and wonderful memories of Santa Fe. Been there many times...oh a hot tub under the stars in the cold night air. Wow. Thanks David!

My friend loves massages. She gets them whenever she can and told me this; one 120-minute massage is better than two-60 minute massages.
What do you think? Do you concur?
