48 Trips to Reboot Your Life Part Five

48 Trips to Reboot Your Life Part Five

From Shanghai's House of Barbie to the Catskills' Zen Mountain Monastery, here are 48 ways to relax and reboot your weary soul.

 
  
25. DISTILL LIFE
Suck down a Pricklytini at Flagstaff, Ariz.'s High Spirits Distillery, where prickly pear vodka is made. The distillery is located on the Mogollon Plateau, 7,000 feet above sea level. MORE INFO
26.KELP, I NEED SOME BODY
Bathe yourself in seaweed. For centuries, the Irish have taken advantage of seaweed's minerals and vitamins to keep their fair skin fair and red hair abundant. County Sligo's VOYA spa offers baths and massages that use hand-harvested, USDA-certified organic seaweed. MORE INFO
27.WORK WILL SET YOU FREE
Work for four hours and write your first novel for 20 at St. John's idyllic Maho Bay Camps eco-resort. The work exchange program offers free board in rustic, roomy tent-cottages in return for four hours of on-site cleaning, cooking, or working the concession per day. MORE INFO
28.BLOW GLASS
Improve your lung capacity at the Pilchuck Glass School, founded in 1971 by master glass artisan Dale Chihuly. The school sits on a 54-acre campus sandwiched between the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound and offers 17-day courses designed for novices as well as experienced glassblowers. You'll learn everything from kiln casting and stained-glass window design to the making of mosaics and neon signs. MORE INFO
29.NOCTURNAL MISSIONS
Stalk coyotes in the night in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. Stellar Adventures offers nocturnal tours (complete with night-vision goggles) into the desert outside of Scottsdale to catch sight of coyotes, scorpions, rattlesnakes, and tarantulas. MORE INFO
30.GO "LOCAL" AT THE MAUI FOUR SEASONS
After a $50 million overhaul, the Maui Four Seasons resort combines native touches and five-star luxury. The spa includes traditional thatched-roof hales (cottages) for ayurvedic facials. Other activities on the 15-acre oceanfront property include learning to paddle a Hawaiian outrigger canoe -- an excellent chance to spy humpback whales cavorting off the coast -- and partaking in the ancient Hawaiian tradition of hanging loose, in this case on a poolside chaise longue while waiters spritz you with Evian. Should you actually decide to leave the grounds -- and why would you? -- it's just a 10-minute drive to Little Beach at Makena, one of Hawaii's best stretches of gay golden sand. MORE INFO
