Taking a Wellness Vacation

Panama City Beach, FL -
One of my many loves is reading the New York Times Travel Dispatch every Saturday morning. I have a "travel" folder on my computer where I save many of the articles for future reference. Most of the popular travel destinations have been about spiritual retreats and wellness places for travelers seeking pure relaxation and solace. The obvious reason for this recent trend is the current economic situation and it seems to be more important than ever for vacationers to really need to, "get away from it all". This is a great time to think about what the Emerald Coast can provide for that sort of traveler.

His staff consists of 2 aestheticians as well and they give the best facials – trust me, I know from experience.

We all know how popular 30-A is and why it has become a part of our visitors agenda while they're here on the Emerald Coast. Some make day trips and some spend entire vacations on the 21- mile stretch. 30-A offers many places to re-connect with your inner self and family. Balance Health Studio located in Seagrove Beach has yoga classes and spin classes. Kelli Precourt, owner and yoga instructor has done a great job with providing a place to help you de-stress. Salon Twist is another hot spot in Grayton Beach. Gina Shiflett, owner and hair stylist, along with her staff will make you look and feel like a million bucks. It's a modern and chic salon and everyone there knows the latest and greatest in hair artistry. Another relaxation destination is Aesthetic Clinique. One may not consider having some laser treatments or injections "relaxation", but it certainly qualifies as a place to help look and feel refreshed. Dr. Weiner has concentrated 100% of his efforts on non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. His staff consists of 2 aestheticians as well and they give the best facials – trust me, I know from experience.
