Top Tens by the ALA Team
Top Ten Massages by Dan Austin
Dan's favorites, from around the world.
9. Four Seasons, Santiago, Chile: Rather small Chilean women who used her knees and a rail above the table.
8. Chateau Lake Louise, Lake Louise, Canada: Ex Russian Olympic Wrestling Trainer…
7. Red Mountain Resort, St. George, Utah: Hot Stone Massage.
6. Johannesburg Airport, Johannesburg, South Africa: Best (and cheapest) Airport Massage
5. Inn at Southbridge, St. Helena, California: 90 Minute hot stone massage followed up by a grape leaf wrap (true story)
4. Riad Kniza, Morocco: Couples Massage by two Moroccan women that spoke no English.
3. Alyeska Resort, Alaska: Best Deal Tissue Swedish Massage on the planet.

2. Amsterdam, Holland: Amazing 60 minute massage after 60 minutes in a salt water sensory deprivation chamber (google it, they're all over.)
And the #1 Massage is... Massage Mondays at the ALA Farm by Elizabeth!!
