Wayne and I just took a really fun little 3-day trip to Calistoga, in the Napa Valley. I went to gather information for an article for a travel website I write for called 52 Perfect Days; Wayne went to relax and kick back. We did all of that and I even had a mud bath. Whew! At first I had that sinking-in-the-mud quicksand feeling - a little panicky! Then I took a deep breath and settled down and enjoyed it.
A word to the wise: Don't get in the mud de-hydrated. I mean, don't over-drink the night before, or fail to drink plenty of water before and during your mud bath. It is plenty warm in there and for some reason, dehydration happens easily. The old heart starts pounding and it's unpleasant! So drink! Water!!
