It's going to be more than just an ordinary spa vacation in Koh Samui this time.
 | JOANNE'S JOURNEYS: day 1 Straits Times Online Editor Joanne Lee shares about her 'grueling' one-week detox holiday in Koh Samui in this exclusive blog feature. |
LOOK out Tucson, here we come! Woohoo!
Well, we're not really off to Tucson. That was just a line from the movie Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion that my sister and I found particularly funny and it kind of applied to us last night when we set off on our first-ever sisters-only holiday together. I'd been invited to review a new-ish resort Absolute Sanctuary (www.absolutesanctuary.com) in Koh Samui, Thailand's premier yoga and detox resort - and I thought I'd bring her along for the ride since we've always wanted to do a sister-sister spa thing together.

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink! |
It's going to be a bit more than just a spa holiday though: I've agreed to go on a seven-day Ultimate Detox programme - something that's not going to be pleasant, but something I really need to salvage this aging body of mine. Too much boozing and unhealthy, irregular eating habits has rendered me the heaviest and chubbiest I have ever been in my entire life.
