- All right we are back,
and I'm here with one of my favorite mamas,
whose mission is to inspire, motivate,
and encourage new experiences through travel.
Please welcome back, Emily Kaufman, The Travel Mom.
- Hi everybody, hey Kelly.
- Hello, happy new year.
- I'm glad to be back with you, happy new year.
- Oh man, I'm glad you're here too.
I love when you come, you have fun stuff.
So any place in particular you recommend going in 2022?
- Yeah, anywhere.
- Any vacation.
- Any vacation, when the time is right
and you feel ready to travel, it's a great time to get away.
Travel's the greatest teacher that we have,
and it's how we learn how capable we are,
when we step out of our comfort zones,
and have those new experiences.
- Absolutely, I couldn't agree more.
(audience applauding)
All right, so what's up first?
- Well if anybody made a new year's resolution
to travel more, take better care of themselves,
or spend time with loved ones,
a wellness vacation is a great way to do that.
And wellness is all about body, mind and spirit.
And there are dedicated places like Miraval Austin,
that does just that.
I went there with my sister,
we took yoga classes, we did floating meditation,
there's incredible spa treatments, and good food too.
- What kind of activities, what are all the?
- Well the activities are incredible.
They pioneered equine therapy,
which is the stuff with the horses,
and they've got ropes courses, which really.
- I love ropes courses.
- [Emily] Me too.
- I'm competitive though.
- Well, it's not about competitive.
- It is to me.
- Well it's really supposed to be intentional
when you're at Miraval, everything.
- Totally, I'm intentionally wanting to do well.
- Okay, well when I went,
we went with the intention of looking at myself,
and I realized I get myself in these situations
and I act like I know what I'm doing,
but I'm just talking my way through it,
and I'm really not confident.
Maybe kind of like this moment right now.
- You're like, I'm fine.
- But Miraval is all about intention.
- Yeah, oh, I love that.
Okay, well my intention right now,
is to give someone in this audience,
a trip to the Miraval Resort in Austin.
(audience cheering)
So Darren, light her up and let's see where she lands.
(audience cheering)
You literally just, like there's actual light only on you,
and you're like, wait, what?
Stand up, stand up, what's your name?
Where are you from?
- Hi, my name is Crystal and I'm from Covina, California.
- All right girl, well giddy up,
because you are headed to Austin, Texas.
There you will enjoy an all inclusive luxury get away,
at the Miraval Resort and Spa.
They provide an unparalleled wellness experience,
with an array of programs,
like the ones Emily just talked about.
Plus fitness, nutrition, art, and more,
it's gonna, are you gonna have fun, what do you think?
- Yes, it's definitely needed, yes.
- Awesome, all right, all right,
that's gonna be hard to beat, but what else do you have?
- While there are wellness resorts dedicated,
there are places that you just feel good going to,
do you have a happy place?
A peaceful place somewhere?
- It's just I like an experience
where I just get away from things,
either the ocean, the forest,
I like being in nature.
- Me too, nature is my happy place,
the beach in particular, Hawaii specifically.
- Well I think that's everyone's.
Yeah, I'm sure.
- You get on to that plane
and you're feeling that Hawaiian vibe,
and the big island of Hawaii is home to a fantastic resort
called the Fairmont Orchid.
I went there recently and could snorkel in their little bay,
right in front of the hotel.
- [Kelly] I love Hawaii.
- I came face to face with sea turtles,
and there were all kinds of fish.
And they've got great restaurants with terrific food
and drink to enjoy the majestic sunsets.
There's a world-class spa,
the Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, spectacular.
(audience cheering)
- All right, we are not leaving here today
until someone here gets a trip
to the Fairmont Orchid Resort, are y'all ready?
(audience cheering)
Hit it Darren.

Oh my god.
Oh my gosh, I love you, what's your name?
Where are you from?
- Oh my god, Cheryl.
- Cheryl, where are you from?
- All over.
- All over, I love this, you're gonna love traveling then.
You're already used to it.
So pack your bags, Cheryl,
because you will be spending four nights
in an ocean front suite at the Fairmont Orchid Resort,
on the.
- [Cheryl] Thank you.
- You'll also receive daily breakfasts,
two Hawaiian inspired massage treatment,
and a thousand dollars travel credit.
(audience cheering)
Cheryl, have you ever been to Hawaii?
- No. - You haven't?
You just said you have been everywhere,
and you've never been to Hawaii?
- It's on my bucket list.
- Check that off your list Cheryl,
I'm so excited for you, Hawaii is beautiful,
you're gonna love it.

I don't travel enough.
