One of my all time favorite spots on the island of Saipan is the Mandi Asian Spa-pa. The first time I visited was during the summer of 2003. The Filipino ladies took my Youth in Mission team. When I lived on the island, I did my best to visit about once a month. It's beautiful during the day and at night. It is a great place to watch the sunset. Then at night, the torches are lit and one can sit in all the hot tubs and not die of heat. When I moved to Guam, I visited Saipan frequently since most of my closest friends lived there (and my brother's friend worked for the airlines that services Guam/Rota/Saipan...and I was the only person he knew that would use his passes, so I got to travel for free). Usually each visit to Saipan resulted in a trip to the spa-pa. And now, over the summers I still manage to make my way over there.
This year, I took Perry for a trip to the Spa-pa. However, I don't think the old Japanese man quite understood why I was taking a photo shoot with a stuffed animal!
