March 13: Balar

Known for its pearls, Balar is known too for its hospitality no matter where you come from. The island’s hidden secret is the spa, where one can enjoy its saunas or a thorough massage. After a visit, you will emerge feeling energised and at peace. Círdan’s people will make you feel that you are ready for a new start. During the evening, one can explore the shorelines to look for those pearls by joining the Pearl Expedition, where at the end you can turn in your findings in exchange for some fine jewelry set with these jewels. If trinkets are not what satisfies you, the try out the island’s finest restaurants, noted for their exquisite seafood cuisine.

Are there any sort of deals at the local resort - book a certain room type and get a spa credit, maybe? ;)

I think we need to go, Surgical. We both could use some time off from Winter.

Mr. Steel was talking about our planned trip to St. Lucia in September (for our wedding anniversary) and that had me flipping through pics from the other time we were there. OMG I could use the tropics right now.

If I'd just been through what I've put the characters through in this one I'd really need the relaxation in the spa:
