I think back on the 6 days I spent with best of both in PR often.   My retreat could not have been more perfect.  I was surrounded by smart fun interesting well traveled and well read women all week long.  Waking up to yoga session on the veranda with of the lovely yoga instructor Shannon at the villa was spectacular.  We did our yoga practically to the cadence of the waves crashing 20 feet in front of us.  Next I was served a delicious beautiful health breakfast by Lisa, which I devoured each morning knowing I had several hours of surfing ahead of me. Then I was picked up at the villa and taken out for a day of surfing and instruction.  My instructors were knowledgeable enthusiastic and eager for me to get better with each wave.  Each night I had a different dining experience and the company was exquisite with theses amazing women and even a night of sushi that included the surf instructors!  I had such a fun and relaxing time and was taken such good care of and spoiled every moment.  This was one of the best vacations ever!

Thanks so much Dez for creating this retreat just for me!

Warmest Regards,
