I hate to travel. \u00a0I know that sounds strange from someone who is “on the road” as much as I am. \u00a0But I find the prep, packing, getting to the airport and the flight very anxiety producing. \u00a0What I LOVE is my arrival.<\/p>\n

I arrived in Munich and got my bags. \u00a0German airports are, as you would expect, a model of efficiency. \u00a0The baggage claim is right outside the gates, rather than in a crowded baggage hall for all arriving flights.<\/p>\n

The workshop location manager was there to meet me, we grabbed his rental car, picked up a dear friend, the head of eQuinoxe Germany, and drove up into the alps. \u00a0The scenery is spectacular on the road. \u00a0Several small villages along the way have the most glorious paintings of religious scenes or local scenes of brewing, baking, flowers or dancing painted on the exterior walls.<\/p>\n

\"Relaxation<\/a>
Relaxation Area Outside the Hammam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Schloss Elmau was our destination, a fabulous resort and cultural hideaway tucked away on it’s own in the foothills of the alps. \u00a0Tired after a long trip I headed for the Hammam, a marble turkish bath and took a long steam treatment. I could feel all my tense muscles unwinding.<\/p>\n

\"Steam<\/a>

Then I headed out to the outdoor pool. \u00a0The water is heated to about 98 degrees and was surrounded by patches of snow. \u00a0There were two naked German men in the pool as well. In \u00a0fact, there are always naked Germans in the pool. \u00a0This is my fourth trip to Elmau for eQuinoxe and it’s a startling fact of life that there is very little body self-consciousness at these kind of spa resorts. \u00a0I am sticking to my modest flowered one-piece thank-you very much.<\/p>\n

\"Sauna<\/a>

Next I hit the sauna for the heat to dry my hair and bathing suit. \u00a0Large windows again looked out over the snow. \u00a0Heavenly. \u00a0A quick shower and I dressed for dinner\u00a0with some of the other advisors. \u00a0Then off to bed for a long restful sleep. \u00a0Arrival bliss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
