When not meeting deadlines, Sue enjoys travel, theater, movies, jazz, fine food, heavenly spas and visiting her son Max in New York City.From Sue Frause:
"My first facial was at a salon at Frederick & Nelson in Seattle. I was a young college co-ed then and my esthetician was from Russia – she wore a starched, white uniform. Although it wasn’t a true spa experience, I was hooked. It was only natural that when I began travel writing I would include spas as part of my “must haves” while on the road.
"There are now more spas than Starbucks in the USA. But I’m picky about where I go, and who is giving the treatment. Hopefully I can direct readers to the best places for a true, spa experience."
