in Breast Cancer #1
Lili and I are looking into going to the Hershey Spa in Hershey, Pennsylvania sometime in October. Just need to get an estimate of who is interested in going. I am waiting to get the lodging prices for October. We were thinking about June, but the prices are more expensive then. I have spoke to the spa manager and told her we are planning a breast cancer survivor reunion. She is also working on a discount for us for the spa.

If interested, let me know. You can also private message me your e-mail address and I will forward the information when I get it.

I am so excited......a chocolate massage or facial sounds yummy!

xoxo,
Jean

    Jean - I would love to do this -
    It's hard to say for absolutely certain - aging parents, retiring hubby, etc - but! I am less than 4 hours from Hershey, so it's doable travelwise.

    Keep me posted.

    WOW
    Let me know how much and I'll see if I can swing it. For how long? A long weekend? Can't get a chocolate facial, I'd be trying to lick it off and my tongue would hurt.

    Chocolate spa
    Ayse, don't be jealous. We can do this again whenever you get back to NY. Hershey isn't that far from NY.

    Disneyfan, they have a spa at the Hershey Hotel. From what I understand, they have chocolate massages, facials, etc.

    The manager from the spa is sending me some brochures and I can send them out to whoever would like one.

    Sounds like fun! I am going on my very first weekend scrapbooking at the Cape the first weekend in October. I'm interested in the spa too as I've never been to one. We took our kids to Hershey many years ago and I have a friend that lives in Carlisle, not too far from Hershey. If I don't drive it, I might take the train. I pm'd you my address. This is a new pic. Unflattering for sure with only a little white hair and I'm at my heaviest. I'm holding a Jim Shore piece called "sisters".

    AWESOME!
    Jean, this sounds absolutely wonderful! I'm assuming it would be just us ladies? No kids? Keep me informed, Jean. I would love to make this work!

    Pat, you're so funny! Yea, I think it might be hard to contain the tongue with chocolate all over us, huh? ~Mar

    definately interested
    Count me in depending on date. I"m to have reconstruction somewhere around the end of Sept. beginning of Oct. but would be interested. I only live about 2 hours away. I have promised myself a spa weekend when treatments are over and I'm better healed so the timing would be right.

    anybody for Car pool (Toronto, Niagara Falls or Buffalo)
    That's an excellent idea.
    I AM IN :o)

    I am from TORONTO so it will be about 8 hrs drive, but I do not mind driving.

    I can pick anybody from NIAGARA FALLS or BUFFALO area or around I-390 S or US-15.
    Just let me know.
    Thanks for organizing :o)

    I am from Niagara Falls, NY - not sure where these roads are you speak of... is it possible you mean the 290 or the 190 S? Once the girls figure out when they are going I will decide if I can swing it..

    Hi Dot53 from NF
    Hi

    It looks like you are my closest Pink Sister". Well I am almost every week or so here as my boyfriend live in Ransomville, so I am coming to pay him visit between my treatments and he sometimes babysit my cats.

    Yes you are right, that's typo. But we can certainly carpool if you like. Let me know later if you are interested.

    Take care

    Ooooo sounds yummy!! I mean relaxing!
    Hi Jean,

    I live about in New Jersey, about 1 1/2 hours away from Hershey. Would love to meet up with everyone. Please let me know the particulars as the information becomes available.

    Thank you!

    Update
    Lili and I are looking at Saturday, October 29th. The Hershey Hotel (where the spa is located) is very expensive. They gave me a group rate of $299 a night plus tax. The Hampton Inn (6 miles away) gave me a group rate of $125.00 plus tax. If we double up, we could cut the room cost. Plus we thought we would rather spend the money on the spa and a nice dinner together than the expensive hotel room.

    The manager at the Spa said she could offer us a discount, but couldn't give me actual costs until later. I do have a few brochures left if you would like me to send you one.

    Give you me thoughts.

    xoxo,
    Jean

    I'm sure that weekend would work for me. Hubby actually retires then and he is my driver for long trips. I think it's about 4 hours. I opt for the Hampton (can't double up - will have hubby, but he will not be included in any of our stuff!)

    Please send a brochure - I'll copy it and send it to someone else.

    Also, I have invited Ayse to stay with us when she gets to NY (even tho I'm 3.5 hrs from the Big Apple) so....
