Wish I so couldn't relate... hope a spa day exists for you in the near future!!!!

marymc says,

I think a bunch of us need a spa day. I know a great place in Santa Barbara. Who wants to meet me there?

catsmeow says,

It's on my way during this road trip of mine. :-)

jl333 says,

Feeling pretty silly...had to look up Calgon. I don't think we have that stuff out here

Believe says,

I'm in.

ShellDeFelice says,

JL, You never saw the "Calgon take me away commercials?" I think we may be just that much older...

marymc says,

When i win the lottery, this is the first thing on my list. I'm flying everyone to this spa.

ShellDeFelice says,

A spa day in Santa Barbara sounds pretty close to heaven.

ShellDeFelice says,

I'm envisioning your numbers being pulled right now marymc!

jl333 says,

No, can't say I remember any commercials like that...or maybe I was just too young to care. ShellDeFelice...you live out here in California...do they sell it where you are? I hate to admit my stupidity...I thought Calgons, or something similar anyway had to do with Star Trek. I don't know, I'm not a Trekkie ...the word just sounded familiar. It's funny how I'm willing to admit something so outrageously stupid here as my thinking...but thats probably because I can hide behind a screen

canadafreeze says,

Spa day ... Yessssssssss ...

jl333. Don't feel bad. Those commercials were a long time ago! I haven't seen one in a long time, unless they made a comeback lately! I don't even have a TV anymore. The commercial was about this lady was having a rough day with kids screaming, crying, pots boiling over, phones ringing and she'd say, "Calgon take me away!" The next thing, she's in a tub with bubbles, looking all mellow. It never worked for me.
The kids would knock at the bathroom door, "Mommmm??"
The husband would knock, " Uh, the pots boiling over, should I do something?"
Someone would offer to bring me the phone.....

Santa Barbara is sooooo pretty! I also know a great spa at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. And one in Santa Cruz at Chaminade, up in the hills. And one in Maui at the Hyatt Regency. I'm a big spa person! Anyone see Last Holiday with Queen Latifa? Somebody win a lottery! Please! Aren't there usually six numbers in a lottery? Surely we can do this!

Notjustagirl....hang in there!

oopsalittle says,

Last holiday - love that movie

jl333 says,

Now that I have the background to the whole Calgon thing...this memoir is truly perfect

notjustagirlintheworld says,

Thanks guys, Mary fingers and toes crossed that your numbers come in :D

L2L3 says,

How about a yacht named Calgon?

accidentaltourist says,

Does said spa serve alcohol?

notjustagirlintheworld says,

@AT why go if you're not going all the way. @L2 any mode of travel (first class of course) is fine by me. @Mary the pressure is really on :D LOL

AQScott says,

Sometimes there just isn't enough Calgon...

I like L2L3's idea :)
