Another Christmas has passed. New Year's is a memory. The winter solstice marched in on schedule and brought with it the kind of weather we can live without.
As you read this, the average January temperature in Albany, New York and Chicago, Illinois is 21oF; in Boise, Idaho and Denver, Colorado it's 30oF; in Albuquerque, New Mexico it's 35oF; and in beautiful, warm (?) Los Angeles it is a balmy 57oF.
Did I forget to mention the snow, ice, chilly winds and the dismal, gray rainy days?
Now imagine being somewhere else, away from the inclement weather; away from the routine of your daily life and its environs. Picture an island -- a beautiful green island where the the sky and sea melt into one. Do you see the sky? Why, it's blue! We're not talking about the "blue" sky where you live, but a color of blue that you didn't know existed, a clean, vibrant blue sky that has been cleansed of pollutants by the trade winds.
Can you smell the air? It's fragrant, it's warm, and it makes you want to cry, because you've forgotten, or never have known the pleasure of just taking a deep breath, and feeling full of wonder that such a place exists.
Do yourself a favor, as a professional and as an individual: Join us on Oahu for MPI's week-long advanced seminar, February 17-23.
You'll check in to the Sheraton Makaha Resort and Country Club on Sunday, February 17 where you can relax and get ready for an exciting week of seminars.
MPI is proud to present these speakers: John Triano, M.A., D.C.; ("Conservative Management, Research and Assessment"); Charles Herring, D.C.; ("To Measure is to Know, Otherwise You Guess"); Joseph Cimino, D.C.; ("Therapeutic Muscle Stretching"); spouse/ guest speaker Brian Porteous, D.C.; ("Communication Strategies for Success"); and Dale Jacobson, D.C., who will conduct a special motion palpation workshop. This seminar is being co-sponsored by Cleveland College of Chiropractic.
Besides furthering your chiropractic knowledge and skills, the seminar program will allow plenty of time to enjoy the island.
The Sheraton Makaha Resort and Country Club is a marvelous get-away: a golf course, tennis courts, and swimming pools are there for you to enjoy.
At Makaha Beach you can sun, snorkel, or perhaps try your hand at windsurfing. You'll want to visit Waimea Bay, famous for the largest and most ferocious waves on the planet, that attracts an international group of surfers who literally risk their lives when they dare to challenge Waimea.
For more serene vistas, visit Waimea Falls Park, an 1,800-acre arboretum, which features cliff-diving into a pool below the 45-foot falls. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a must see, along with the Queen Emma Summer Palace, the lush Hawaiian Haiku Gardens, the Pineapple Garden, Diamond Head, and of course Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial.
So much to see and do -- and so little time!
Want to make your stay longer? Darryl D. Curl, D.D.S., D.C. will be conducting a TMJ Joint Systems seminar February 16-17 at the Sheraton Waikiki. When you call to register for the MPI Makaha seminar (1-800-327-2289), you can tell the 800 operator you wish to attend Dr. Curl's Waikiki seminar as well.
Now for the really good news: The MPI seminar package on Oahu is $600 per couple less than last year on Maui! Inflation has been deflated, for a change. Take advantage of this opportunity, now. Make your plans soon -- but HURRY! Time waits for no man, including chiropractors.
