- Look, we all know life can be stressful at times
and really, at times, it can even be overwhelming,
so it's no wonder that a recent survey found
that 51% of Americans are motivated to
go on vacation to recharge, destress and reset.
That's exactly why I go.
And I brought back my buddy to give us the inside scoop.
Please welcome the travel mom, Emily Kaufman.
- Hi, everybody.
- [Steve] Hey, Emily. - Hi, Steve.
- [Steve] Good to see you again.
- Good to be back with you.
- Alright now, we got a couple in the audience
up here that has a question for you.
Where's Phaedra and Shaun?
What's your question for Emily?
- Well, we've been together for about 17 years,
married for 13, we have two beautiful children.
The last vacation we took alone, without children,
was about 14 years ago.
We did not get a honeymoon because I was very pregnant
at the time when we got married,
so the last few years have been rather tricky.
I had breast cancer, went through
the whole treatment and surgery.
I'm in remission, but we would love...
(audience applauding)
We would love an opportunity to go somewhere,
on a budget, just the two of us
to kinda celebrate having gotten past
what we've gone through recently, so.
- And go without our kids.
(audience laughing)
- She said that, Shaun, but you know,
he may have mentioned without the children.
- [Shaun] It's time
- [Steve] Yeah, it is.
So Emily, what do you think is the best type of vacation?
- [Emily] You know, you're not alone
in wanting to find some time, grown-up time,
self-care is such a big, important thing,
and there's a big trend with what we call wellness vacations
and wellness vacations are body, mind and spirit,
you come back rejuvenated, inspired and motivated.
- Tell us about the first wellness vacation.
- Well, wellness vacations come in all kinds of
shapes and sizes, and the fist one I want to tell you about
is a beach front retreat in Tulum, Mexico,
right at the ocean, it's called Amansala.
Amansala is an eco-chic resort and it's home to something
called Bikini Bootcamp.
I just went there and Bikini Bootcamp allows you
to move your body, eat healthy food, reconnect with yourself
and do it in a relaxed, casual, ocean front experience
in Tulum, Mexico.
This one is a really casual yet luxurious,
it marries great service, great food, great exercise,
yet you stand thatched roof, gorgeous ocean front resort
type property.
- [Steve] Yeah, okay, that's cool.
Tulum is super casual, very chic and a very hip,
popular place to be right now.
- Yeah, I'd like to wear a suit or something to dinner,
you know.
- Well you're not gonna wear a suit to dinner
but I do have another place
where you can wear a suit together.
- Okay what we got?
- And I know how much you love Las Vegas.
Red Rock Resort and Casino now has a spa.
They're a wellness destination, they've got something
they're called the bod pod.
It looks sorta like a spaceship egg
and it takes all of your measurements,
so you get a handle of where you are.
As you begin your journey you can do massages,
you can exercise, you can also go out to dinner
at T-bone Steakhouse and have a dirty Martini,
if that's what you wanna do and hit the casino
but you can balance it, take care of your
body, mind and spirit.
(clapping)
Steve, I know how you like to fly to Las Vegas
and JetSuiteX, they operate out of Private Hangers,
at an affordable price, they go from Birming to Las Vegas,
Private Hanger, no TSA, it looks like it would be
not affordable, if you treat yourself to something,
maybe it's $20 more one way, give it a shot,
it's really worth it, we deserve these things.
- So you got one more trip?
- I do, I just got back from--
- It's the most baller of them all?
- It is the most baller of them all.
- Come on, come on!
- It is luxurious, it's their grand opening just happened.
Miraval in Tucson is world famous,
Oprah Winfrey hung out there, Ellen hung out there,
and now Miraval has opened a brand new resort in Austin
at Lake Travis and I just got to go to their grand opening,
and what I love about them is everything is with intention
behind it.
So whether you're doing yoga or learning to throw a hatchet
or archery or engaging with horses,
everything you do is mindful so you're aware of
what you're learning, I learnt so much about myself
on a challenge course, not to mention,
the food is outstanding, the accommodations are awesome,
the service is outstanding, making it what you would call,
- Baller. - Baller.
- I like all of that.
Phaedra and Shaun, what do you think of that
Miraval in Austin?
- Oh my gosh. - Looks good.
- [Steve] Looks pretty good?
- Yes.
- [Steve] Okay, cool, cause that's where you're going.
(cheering)
We are sending you on a three night relaxing getaway
to the brand new Miraval, Austin in Austin, Texas.
This all inclusive resort just opened on February 4th
and it offers one-of-a-kind luxurious spa treatments,
yoga and meditation classes and dozens and dozens
of cooking classes.
So Phaedra and Shaun, what do you think about that?
- Oh! Excited! - Alright, we're ready!
- That would be real nice man, that--
- Thank you so much. - Thank you very much.
- Alright audience, guess what?
