Join me on a unique Spa & Adventure Getaway in lush tropical Fiji March 18-25, 2012.

Located on the highest point of the 5- star Outrigger on the Lagoon Resort, the Bebe Butterfly Spa Sanctuary is a cocoon of tranquility offering sweeping views of the Fijian landscape and the South Pacific waters.

Treatments available include the Bobo massage, a uniquely Fijian style which involves fluid strokes with the hands, elbows and forearms using warm coconut oil. Exfoliation treatments include the Fresh Sugar Cane Body Glow using fresh local sugar cane crystals, virgin coconut oil and nut extracts while a full menu of facials features locally grown papaya, pineapple and coconut together with European products. A menu of five body wraps employs a thermal water capsule in which the guest is cocooned after warm essential oils have been applied while a Sabai Stone Therapy involves a massage with heated malachite and zincite stones after oils have been painted over the body. Four of the treatment rooms, contain sunken spa baths which overlook the reef, adding another level of luxury to treatments.

I am fascinated by the youngest performers. They often have energy and enthusiasm in lieu of the practiced skill and precision of experienced dancers. Their personailities and raw talent certainly shine through in their pure enjoyment of the activity.

In contrast to polynesian dance, melanesian dance is more restrained for female dancers. These Fijian women are more conservatively dressed and make smaller foot movements and hand gestures in their traditional dance performance. Interestingly, this is not the case with the male dancers who lean toward very assertive postures and actions.

It’s easy to lose track of time while you are relaxing on vacation. Hey, what day is it?

The International Date Line runs through the island of Taveuni in Fiji. I know this is a confusing concept to many people who depart from Los Angeles on Thursday night and arrive in Fiji on Saturday morning. The flight is really only 10 hours. You “lose” Friday but “gain” it on the return flight,  often arriving back before you even left.

Anyway, don’t tax your brain over time zones and the earth’s rotation. Just for fun, you can travel to this site and have your picture taken with literally one foot in each day – yesterday and today.

By the way, this was the site of quite a few celebrations on the Millenium New Year.
Party like it’s 1999, I mean 2000! I’ll be curious to see what’s planned for year 2020.
