SPECIAL REPORT On the Frontier of Travel and Health... Healing Vacations are fast becoming the vacation of choice. This mode of travel addresses Body, Mind and Spirit and elevates the idea of renewal to a whole new level. As baby boomers move into mid-life and retirement, and younger generations seek a more conscious and healthy lifestyle, transformational travel is the way to go! Today there are retreat centers, holistic spas and alternative healers of all kinds in the islands, with literally hundreds of options to choose from. You can now connect with Hawaii's most respected healers, discover its power-spots and sacred sites, or participate in a spiritual retreat that will change your life. A healing vacation can introduce you to Native Hawaiian medicine, a personal vision quest, dolphin encounters, de-tox cleansing, juicing with raw and organic whole foods, or simply give you that week of quiet, reflective meditation you've been wanting. Our guidebook is designed to assist you in creating an unforgettable health and wellness adventure on the Big Island! May you journey well. Aloha, Susanne
