Once when I visited New York, I went to the Oasis Spa. What a wonderful experience. If I ever get to the other areas, I will go to them even if just for a manicure.

Dear Veronica, This is an excellent outline and detailed explanation of the types of spas available in the US. I really gives an inside look into what is offered in each city, so making plans to include other sites gives any woman a choice. I agree that spending time on myself is a necessity. Diane
