Relax, take this down before going for your Spa Holiday - Top Ten Tips to enjoy your Spa Holiday:

1. Be Adventurous. Ask for a full description of any treatment that sounds interesting and intriguing. Willing to try something new and you'll find new treatments to enjoy.

2. Chill out. You must stay at least three nights if you want to get the rest and renewal benefits of a Spa Holiday. Stay for a full week if you could, at least o­nce a year. I recommend Bali, Maldives and Thailand.

3. Prefer off-peak hours. Choose the right time. Your Spa session may be more relaxing and leisurely when you're there at a less crowded period.

4. Make extra time for your visit. Plan to spend a least 15 minutes sipping your favourite beverage, relaxing, chatting or enjoying some solitude before your scheduled treatment and you don't have to rush.

5. Enjoy all the lavish facilities that most destination spa and resort spas have, including saunas, steam baths, and hot and cold plunge pools. You may request a complete tour of the spa facilities to help feel comfortable in the environment.

6. Experiencing a spa treatment is very personal. Approach the experience in a way that makes you most comfortable especially your comfy clothes, the right music, sound and the person you are with.

7. If you are not at peace, try to quiet your mind by following the hands of the massage therapist. Focus o­n how every point and touch feels. Relax and feel the touch of the massage therapist.

8. Plan the treatment that will fit into your next program. For example, if you're having a Thai massage that may leave you sleepy, you may not want to go to a snorkeling session, instead chose a 2 hours nap.

9. Avoid calls and SMS from your cell phone. Inform someone to take your calls and return all calls o­n your last day. Give yourself a break from the outside world.

10. Relax and allow for some quiet time after your massage session. It helps your mind to rest and your body to absorb the results. You'll prolong the pleasure of relaxation.

Planning your travel.

It can make your travel experience more enjoyable and also save you money. Even if you are the sort of person who just hits the road and takes life as it comes, planning your journey to some extent can enhance the adventure. Whether its a trip down the road to the local shop or a journey around the world, before taking that first step you need to do some planning; if nothing else it will set you off in the right direction.

Before going anywhere, contemplate where you want to go and why you want to go there. At least that way you will have a destination to aim for and some idea of what to do when you get there.
Think about how you will get to your destination, and get back, if need be. Do some research about your destination, route, mode of travel. Find out what you need to do to get there and how it can be done, what to bring along.

Where to go?

Once you have your destination(s), route(s) and mode(s) of travel sorted it can be helpful to put it all into an itinerary. This is essentially an ordered list or timeline that shows how you can get from here to there, with the things you need to do along the way and when you need to do them.

If you have booked travel arrangements or accommodation, your itinerary should show the check-in, departure, arrival or check-out times and the places you need to be at. Any competent travel agent who arranges your travel should prepare an itinerary for you, or you can do it yourself.

One reason for having an itinerary is to make sure that you are arriving somewhere before you are departing from the place and there is enough time to allow you to transit from your arrival point to your next departure point.

There's another mode of travelling though, that excludes building itineraries. If you do not know or plan your next destinations, you have the freedom to make your plans as you go. This approach however is not advised for inexperienced travellers. It is disputable which way of travelling is more rewarding. Not having an itinerary does not mean that you do not have to plan your travel, anyway.

A middle approach may work for others; rather than having a detailed itinerary, you can work o­n a sort of general timeline. Working o­n specific times/dates you want to or need to be in certain places (even if it's just your flight home), you can keep a mental plan of what you need to do in the next few days, and then roughly where you need to be farther out.

For instance, if you were starting a month-long overland trip from London to Rome, you might have the month divided roughly five days each for London, Paris, southern France, northern Italy and Rome. You might also know you want to see the end of the Tour de France in Paris in six days (which works with your rough overall context). You now have a good basis for planning the next few days, including possible alternate routes and side trips. You can pick what sites you want to see over the next three days, and then reevaluate -- maybe you want to spend a day in Brussels en route to Paris. The advantage of this technique is that you have some freedom (to, say, cut down o­n the later stages to add a side trip to Switzerland), but still have a structure (so you don't arrive in Paris o­n day 27, and realize that it's even better than London).
