I've never had a spa experience that lasted longer than a few hours, but I've heard so many great things about Rancho La Puerta and it seems like the ideal place to chillax for a few days. Gotta say, I've been to Doe Bay on some day excursions and I didn't love it, but I'm not so much about rustic accommodations these days :)

Wow... Doe Bay looks marvelous! Such a great discovery. And I've always said that beans remind me of "little pockets of dirt" 😂 How appropriate that they should be a mud bath!

I love "little pockets of dirt"! I hope you get to go, to Doe.

I did the mud at Calistoga one year. Mud in places I had had mud since I was a kid playing at some lakeside at some fishing camp. A shower after never felt better.

I once flew across the country to discover the cramped airline seat left me limping from back and hip pain. I booked a massage, and the therapist, a wizard in Thai massage and techniques, somehow bent and stretched limbs in all directions to deliver me to a miraculous recovery.

I worked at a Sheraton health club for a few years and got a free massage every month or so...one of the best job perks ever!
