Not your typical vacation, this luxurious traveling fitness caravan guarantees relaxation, rejuvenation, and most important, lots of recreation!

Here’s how it usually goes: You’ve got a full seven days off work, just enough time to take that decadent vacation you’ve been longing for. But where do you want go? What will you do? Where will you stay? How much will it all cost? Oy! Trying to plan an adventurous weeklong journey is almost more taxing than taking the trip!

Here’s where Escape to Shape comes in handy. All you have to do is pack your bags, grab your passport, head to the airport, and board the plane. Erica Gragg and her team of awesome associates will take care of the rest.

1) Land in the Exotic Destination of Your Choice.

Yearning to visit South America? March is the perfect time to spend a week in Cartagena, Colombia. Always been mad about Morocco? Make your way to Marrakech this May. Never been to Mexico? Zip off to Zihuatanejo in June, October, or November 2009. (Past jaunts have included Cape Town, South Africa; Colonia, Uruguay; and Sicily, Italy.)

2) Live in the Lap of Luxury.

Staying in a regular, run-of-the-mill chain hotel is so commercial. Here’s your chance to live it up in absurdly cool cultural accommodations. In Cartagena, kick back in an 18th-century colonial mansion, complete with a rooftop terrace overlooking the walled city and a swimming pool inset in the center of a massive sitting room. In Morocco, lounge in a spacious suite inside of a beguiling desert-style villa, surrounded by beautiful rose gardens. In Zihuatanejo, consider a beachfront boutique hotel your palatial palace; it’s enclosed by lush lagoons, a private beach, and gorgeous garden waterfalls.

All accommodations are totally modern: in-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and/or ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, on-demand spa treatments and massages, and much, much more.

3) Become Immersed in the Culture.

Live like a local and make the most of your time. What better way to learn Spanish than to spend an hour or two with a multilingual tutor? If you fancy yourself a foodie, learn how to cook your favorite ethnic fare (minus the extra calories).  Spend your evening’s salsa-dancing the night away or having a cocktail or two at neighborhood watering holes.

4) Embark on an Excursion.

Never mind trying to find a few activities to keep you busy; your calendar is chock-full of exciting expeditions, including hiking through mountainous terrain, power-walking alongside the beach, or bathing in a mud volcano (trust us—it’s much more fun than it sounds).

Other outings include guided historical city tours, horseback riding, swimming with dolphins, surfing, scuba-diving, and souvenir shopping.

5) Hop on the Healthy Bandwagon.

Whether you’re passionate about working out or you consider walking to the mailbox a form of exercise, your well-being is the main focus of this journey. Participate (if you want) in daily yoga and body-sculpting classes taught by certified fitness instructors who encourage you to work within your own physical parameters and at your own pace.

And don’t worry about what you’ll eat; all meals are included. Every low-fat (yet deliciously tasty) meal is lovingly prepared by a world-class chef and with organic ingredients. What more could your body ask for?

Cost is $3,000, not including airfare. (Be sure to mention Glam to get a $600 discount!) For more information, visit EscapeToShape.com.
