High Country Outfitters

In 1975, four friends with hearts full of the great outdoors decided they needed a place to get gear indoors. This quest for adventuring equipment lead Bubba Sloan, Gerald Marshall, Denny Mays, and Ned Buxton to found High Country Adventures and High Adventures Outfitters as a gear shop for all manner of activities performed under the sun. These days, Bubba runs the retail side of things in Buckhead, and Gerald continues to captain daring cruises down the Ocoee River's relentless rapids. The store kits out customers for safe communing with nature with tools and togs from manufacturers including The North Face, Patagonia, and Big Green Egg, whose verdantly painted smoker grill creates hot meals in the midst of a long trip or particularly boring wait in the airport. Meanwhile, guides lead expeditionary parties along on waterborne trips down the Middle and Upper Ocoee's burbling banks in Tennessee and through the Chattahoochee River in Georgia, recapturing the sun-dappled fun that inspired the store's creation in the first place.

Spacious Rooms Overlooking St. Johns River

The St. Johns River-which neatly slices Jacksonville, Florida, down the middle-is one of the only rivers in America that flows north. Along its banks, the Jacksonville Landing has been attracting residents and visitors for more than 20 years with swanky shops, creative eateries, live-music clubs, and more than 300 special outdoor events held every year. The Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk occupies a prime spot directly across the river from the Landing and in the heart of the city's trendy San Marco entertainment district.

Each standard room in the hotel features contemporary and warm decor, with marigold-yellow walls and golden-hued linens. In the morning, you can head downstairs for a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast in the Wyndham's St. John's Cafe, then snooze peacefully in the sun while suspended in a hammock next to the outdoor pool.

Jacksonville, Florida: Sprawling City with Public Parks and Open Squares

Located in northern Florida 25 miles from the Georgia state line, Jacksonville has the distinction of being the largest city, area-wise, in the United States. This doesn't translate to vast expanses of pavement and canyons of skyscrapers, however. More than 80,000 acres of parkland lie within the city limits, surrounding visitors with lush landscaping and squirrel networking opportunities. A particularly nice park is Tree Hill Nature Center. Located five minutes from downtown, this green space is crisscrossed with 50 acres of trails leading through shady forests.

The neighborhood where the Wyndham is located, San Marco, is one of Jacksonville's oldest. Noted for its 1920s-era Mediterranean Revival homes-featuring balconies, terra-cotta tile roofs, and elaborate carvings-the area rewards sightseers with interesting architecture around every turn. As the sun goes down, head over to the San Marco Square, an open piazza surrounded by upscale restaurants and an old-fashioned movie theater.

Chef Tony Morrow prepares a menu of southern cuisine inspired by his childhood and fused with worldly flavors from his travels, such as oven-roasted buttermilk-pecan chicken ($23), fried catfish with lemon-dill aioli ($24), and portobello napoleon with curry sauce ($18).

The Pecan Restaurant

The Pecan Restaurant's head chef Tony Morrow collects ingredients from the recipes of his favorite chefs, finding ways to work each of them into his own cuisine. The first flavor he fell in love with was pecans, a staple of his mother's cooking. Later in life, he encountered the rich spices of Cajun and Indian cooking, the perfectly prepared meats in French recipes, and the delicate pastas of the best Italian kitchens. He took these culinary experiences and, inspired, created his own masterpieces with each one, blending and changing each until he created a type of southern cooking all his own.

He serves his fusion food in a classic southern-style dining room full of light woods and white tablecloths complemented by the deep red curtains that hang around the space. During the eatery's remodeling, a giant Coca-Cola advertisement-first painted in 1917-was discovered beneath the room's drywall. Now re-exposed and retouched, it emblazons an exposed brick wall and adds last-century charm to the dining room, reminding its guests of a time when life was simpler and cola poured from the drinking fountains.

Wrinkles caused by years of smiling and frowning eventually burden nearly everyone, with the exception of Hollywood starlets, who are naturally impervious to human emotion. Keep smiling with this Groupon.

• $89 for 20 units of Botox (a $240 value)
• $175 for 40 units of Botox (a $480 value)

After a skin consultation, a board-certified surgeon injects Botox into foreheads, between eyebrows, and by crow's-feet during an approximately 10-minute treatment. Botox smoothes wrinkles for up to four months.

Botox may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening, including problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. Read all safety considerations for Botox here.

Cosmetic & Laser Specialists

Cosmetic & Laser Specialists's board-certified physicians and certified laser technicians sculpt bodies with cosmetic laser treatments, nonsurgical cosmetic injections, and a variety of facial and breast surgical procedures. After a skin evaluation, they permanently reduce hair with FDA-approved lasers, brighten skin during photofacials with intense-pulse light, and remove unwanted fat deposits with mesotherapy and lipodissolve injections. Surgeons take the reins to perform breast augmentations, pectoral surgery, and rhinoplasty on rhinoceroses.

Long, flowing hair is useful on a fishing boat, since it can be braided into a replacement mooring rope or tossed overboard so salmon will leap up it to spawn. Tend your stream of strands with today's Groupon to Zapien's Salon, valid at the Atlanta and Greensboro locations. Choose from the following options:

• For $29, you get a women's haircut with blowout by a master stylist (up to a $70 value).

A former educator for Paul Mitchell in New York City and Vidal Sassoon in London, Zapien's Salon director Norman Zapien draws on more than 40 years of experience to train his team of seasoned stylists in tonsorial techniques. After a thorough shampoo, master stylists trim tresses in front of floor-to-ceiling mirrors in the salon's upper story, plucking hair-taming tools from gleaming stainless-steel cabinets or potted scissors trees. Then full or partial highlights can add depth and texture to lackluster strands, or clients can re-hue their whole head with single-process color. With the full-highlights package, restorative deep-conditioning treatments also work to rejuvenate strands damaged by heat or codependent relationships with emotionally abusive shampoos.

Like a boomerang thrown by a vengeful ghost on a carousel, unwanted hair always returns. Scare off unsightly strands with this Groupon.

GA Aesthetic Med Spa

Ivy League-educated medical director Dr. Thomas J. Locke III applies his extensive knowledge of beauty-related medicine as he masterfully captains the aesthetically driven staff at GA Aesthetic Med Spa.

Their services also include holistic therapies such as massages that ease the pains of a long work week as a human wrecking ball.

Beachfront Hotel with Private Pool Deck

Since its original construction in 1888, Plaza Resort & Spa has transformed from a stagecoach stop to an early aviation exhibition site to a barracks for the Women's Army Corps during WWII. Fires and inclement weather have destroyed the hotel over the years, yet it always seems to emerge stronger than before, and a multimillion-dollar restoration has brought about its most luxurious incarnation yet. Located steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, the Plaza Resort now features a 15,000-square-foot European-style spa and a sprawling oceanfront pool deck.

Though much of the Daytona shoreline is open to auto traffic, the beach alongside the hotel is car-free and comparatively quieter. From the private balcony connected to your ocean-view room, you can watch the sunrise over the Atlantic or wait until a more reasonable hour and re-create the sunrise with a flashlight. Head downstairs to the hotel's Ocean Waters Spa for any number of restorative services, including the popular green-coffee slimming body wrap, a 55-minute treatment designed to smooth cellulite and increase metabolism. The beach is just a few feet from the hotel, but for a more private experience, kick back in one of the lounge chairs by the pool.

Daytona Beach: Auto-Race Mecca and Historical Boardwalk City

Seven miles from the Plaza Resort & Spa, the intoxicating scent of engine fuel and burnt rubber beckons from Daytona International Speedway. During 30-minute guided tram tours, you can stroll the infield and traverse the pit road while Mustang and Monte Carlo experts narrate the history of motorsports. For a more intimate experience, you can accompany a professional driver for three laps in a standard stock car or attempt a 16-second pit-stop challenge in a professional racecar.

Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, one of the tallest masonry lighthouses in the country, stands guard about 10 miles south of the hotel on Ponce Inlet. Built in the 1880s, the 175-foot granite structure and its surrounding Victorian brick buildings feature exhibits lined with old lighthouse lenses and various historical artifacts. You can climb the 203 steps to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the beach and an inexplicable performance of "Eye of the Tiger."

All-Inclusive Resort on the Caribbean Sea with Trapeze Lessons and Eclectic Dining

At Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach, "all-inclusive resort" means much more than unlimited dinners and mai tais. Right in between the beach and the resort, you can learn how to trapeze at an open-air training facility surrounded by netting. Head up to the trapeze platform for a free lesson, and you can see the Caribbean Sea stretch out for miles right next to the resort's private, 5,000-foot stretch of pristine golden beach lined with palapas below.

The trapeze lesson is one of many ways the resort goes beyond the typical all-inclusive experience. When you're not relaxing at the beach, the all-inclusive plan frees you up to try a scuba-diving lesson, take yoga classes, climb a rock wall in the gym, or take in some live entertainment.

The beachfront resort is spread out like a small village, lined with flagstone pathways, landscaped gardens, three pools, and a shady coral stone grotto. At night, you can stop by the discotheque and dance to spicy meringue music, or head to the theater to enjoy a live performance of musicals such as Moulin Rouge or Cabaret. As the night winds down, stop for a midnight snack at the 24-hour pizzeria.

Guests can enjoy unlimited food and drinks from five restaurants and four bars, including La Terraza, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot that serves an international buffet. You can get a nice view of the sunset on the waterfront patio of La Roca Grill, which serves tropical cocktails and fried calamari.

Beachfront bungalows are located steps from the ocean, so guests can fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and the squeals of dolphins watching horror films.

Bayahibe, Dominican Republic: Renowned Scuba Diving with White-Sand Beaches

Bayahibe is situated on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic on the shore of the Caribbean Sea. The former fishing village remained relatively untouched by tourism until the late 1990s, when it became known for its white-sand beaches and scuba-diving sites, but it still has a tucked-away feel.

For diving and snorkeling, it's worth it to take a trip to Saona Island, an uninhabited nature reserve located just off the mainland. Tour operators on catamarans and motorboats will drop you around the area's sandbars and shipwrecks, which overflow with brightly colored fish.

About 20 miles (32 km) from the hotel, the cobblestone streets of Altos de Chavon are lined with artists' studios, galleries, and quaint cafes. The European-inspired village is also home to a 5,000-seat amphitheater, which has featured headlining shows from legendary artists including Frank Sinatra and Shakira.

St. Andrews Country Club's rates fluctuate throughout the day.

St. Andrews Country Club

The 18-hole course at St. Andrews Country Club drapes over 400 acres of countryside, demanding precise ball placement and keen focus as players navigate its two distinct sides. Course superintendant Heath Hammond keeps a meticulous watch over the conditions of the bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens, ensuring they stay not only pleasing to the eye but also lush enough for comfortable celebratory somersaults.

Players choose from five separate sets of tees to start their round, rendering the course as long as 6,629 yards from the back tees but enjoyable for golfers of all ability levels. On the front nine, players must exhibit precise control over shots as they wind through the course's residential portion. The game relaxes on the back nine as it winds through open spaces dotted with handsome trees and allows players to unleash power.

Before a round or during practice sessions, golfers can hone their strokes on St. Andrews' two-tiered driving range. A chipping green, a sand trap, and a bentgrass putting green round out the practice area's offerings, allowing players to re-create actual course conditions.

Course at a Glance:

• 18-hole, par 72 course
• Total length of 6,629 yards from the back tees
• Course rating of 71.7 from the back tees
• Course slope of 135 from the back tees
• Five sets of tees per hole

Beyond the waiting area, stylists customize cuts and Global Keratin treatments, which give strands a mirror-finish shine. At the end of each service, aestheticians offer complimentary makeup touchups and a parting gift from the salon such as a bronzed comb to commemorate the cut.

Intense yet accessible to beginners, Bikram yoga classes are 90-minute explorations of 26 postures in a heated studio. The sequence of postures is designed to develop flexibility while stimulating circulation and burning fat. Classes are taught by official Bikram-certified instructors. See the full schedule here.

Though Bikram Yoga Marietta sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Bikram Yoga Marietta

As a Bikram yoga instructor and studio owner since 2003, Naedra Fox's job is to make a 105-degree room with 40% humidity a welcoming space. To do this, she and her fellow teachers made a pilgrimage to Los Angeles to attend the once-yearly instructor certification course taught by Bikram Choudhury. The intensive nine-week apprenticeship focuses on more than merely mastering the 26 poses. Certified Bikram instructors learn how to make their classes a beginner-friendly, nonjudgmental space that still pushes students to expand their limits. Additionally, Naedra strives for an inclusive, family atmosphere. Newcomers nervous about the notoriously sweaty, 90-minute Bikram sessions are free to stretch postures only as far as is comfortable for them. The studio even makes a space for small children with onsite babysitting services.

The sport of basketball has held a firm place among America's most beloved pastimes ever since it spun off from the popular breakfast spread NBA Jam. Spread your friends across a row of seats with this Groupon to see the Atlanta Dream play at Philips Arena. Choose between the following seating options:

• For $20, you get two tickets for seating in sections 101, 102, 106, 107, 112, 113, 117, or 118-marked in light blue on the seating chart (a $50.60 value).
• For $40, you get two tickets for seating in sections 103-105 or 114-116-marked in purple on the seating chart (a $93.20 value).

For either seating option, choose between the following games:

• Against the New York Liberty on Friday, May 25, at 7:30 p.m.
• Against the Indiana Fever on Sunday, May 27, at 3 p.m.

All options include a postgame autograph session with a player to be determined.

After two consecutive but fruitless appearances in the WNBA finals, the Atlanta Dream enter the season hungry for one more chance to claim their first franchise championship. After taking on the New York Liberty during the home opener on May 25, the team squares off on the 27 against the Indiana Fever, the top seed in the Eastern Conference going into last year's playoffs. Anchoring the Dream's roster this year, All-Star forward Angel McCoughtry-who averaged 21.6 points per game in 2011-punishes defenders in the paint, and rebound queen Erika de Souza keeps frightened balls from hiding in the stands. When Groupon customers receive their tickets, a voucher will direct them to a postgame autograph session, where Dream players sign prized memorabilia or nachos from the arena's concession stands.

Fishing is like raising children: both require patience, superior breath-holding skills, and a pocket full of worms to entice cooperation. Catch your next meal with this Groupon.

$199 for a Half-Day Fishing Trip for Up to Four on Lake Lanier ($450 Value)

Captain Doug Dixon takes fishermen out onto Lake Lanier to catch striped bass, spotted bass, and largemouth bass. Trips include bait and tackle, and Dixon can teach fishing basics to beginner anglers.

North Georgia Charters

Captain Doug Dixon loves catching striped bass. Sometimes, he even breaks out a fly-fishing rig to intensify the fight, a practice that would soon deplete the strength of lesser fishermen. But with more than a decade of learning the patterns of striped bass, Dixon knows how to find, hook, not get eaten by, and coach clients through landing one of these freshwater leviathans. Now part of the pro staff at Champion Boats, he takes parties out on his 24 Bay Champ boat, supplying anglers with all the equipment they need. Also an enthusiastic trout fisherman, Dixon can take anglers out on the Chattahoochee River, or all the way to the Rocky Mountains to catch trophy rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout in the Snake River and the Green River. Especially memorable catches earn a place in the captain's heart, as well as in his photo album.

Bayside B & B with Jacuzzi at End of Private Dock

Along Florida's panhandle is a shoreline that is often called the Forgotten Coast. The beaches here have escaped any heavy development; instead, you'll get a glimpse of what old Florida was like, with soaring pines, saw palmettos, and snow-white dunes.

At the heart of the Forgotten Coast, the St. Joseph Peninsula stretches into the Gulf of Mexico. Cape San Blas Inn is situated on this narrow finger of land, which separates St. Joseph Bay from the open gulf. The inn stands just 200 yards from the beach on the opposite coast.

In the back of the inn, you can peer out to the water from bay windows and screened-in porches. A wooden boardwalk leads toward the water, where you'll find a dock extending into the bay. You can borrow one of the inn's complimentary canoes here, or paddle to the end of the pier, where there's a hot tub situated right on the waterfront.

Inside, no two guest rooms are exactly alike, but all include Sleep Number beds and prints of tropical beaches hanging on the walls. The Turtle Shell suite is the largest room, with a tile-framed fireplace beside french doors that lead onto a private patio.

In the morning, the inn lays out a spread of Starbucks-brand coffee with dishes such as quiche or french toast. Feel free to eat in the large, airy dining room, or carry your plate out to the veranda to watch starfish try to form constellations.

Port St. Joe, Florida: Beachfront Parks and Coastal Towns

St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is one of the prettiest local beaches. It overlooks both the bay and the shores of the gulf around the secluded eastern tip of the peninsula. All over the beachfront dunes you'll see sand pine scrub, and migrating falcons visit the 1,900-acre wilderness reserve every fall. The Cape San Blas connects the peninsula with the mainland. It features a lighthouse that has been rebuilt no fewer than four times.

Head inland to the town of Port St. Joe, which has seafood restaurants and charter cruises, or travel farther east to Apalachicola, a city named for a Native American tribe and often translated as "land of the friendly people." The city is lined with 19th-century architecture, including the Orman House and Raney House. Both of these Greek Revivalist-style mansions were built by cotton magnates. If it's getting hot outside, head to the John Gorrie Museum-the former home of the man who pioneered air conditioning.

At private parties, up to 12 guests may sip beverages brought from home while making their jewelry.

Beads by Design

Hidden just east of Cobb Parkway, a complex of low, slate-blue warehouses shelters a community of textile workers, sculptors, and graphic designers intent on refining their art. Beads by Design's shop and atelier contributes to this creative wellspring, and today the Southern Flames-a society of glass-bead makers-gather there for their monthly meetings. The shop opened in 1998, displaying a wealth of Japanese Delica seed beads, fire-polished and pressed glass beads, pearls, gemstones, and glittering Swarovski crystals under the high, exposed-metal roof. Visitors can pick up notions or tools, or stick around for jewelry-making classes. These begin with the basics of knotting wire rings and stringing necklaces and expand into the creation of broad, beaded cuffs inspired by Ndebele jewelry and macrame techniques for braiding copper wire. To give students complete creative control of their work, instructors hand out propane torches and safely teach how to fabricate glass beads and intimidate nay-saying critics.

• $55 for the above for two (a $120 value)
• $99 for the above for four (a $240 value)

Zipline rides are split into two legs: the first leg flies passengers above a verdant pasture filled with ducking horses, whereas the second sails through the peaceful treetops and over a pond stirred by a waterfall. For dry-snow tobogganing, patrons are sent zipping downhill a slippery-fast slide via sled or inflatable tube, imitating winter fun under the sun.

Cherokee Valley Ranch

Cherokee Valley Ranch lays out an adrenaline-filled buffet of outdoor adventures propelled by gravity. Guests soar above the ranch on the gossamer wings of harness and cable across two legs of the zipline course. Cherokee Valley Ranch also sends riders careening down its tobogganing and tubing course. Gravity tugs thrill seekers down two frost-free chutes for snowless year-round sledding to make up for winters of sledless snowing. Other outdoor adventures, which also require reservation, include guided horseback rides, hayrides to a wooded campsite, and a cowboy-style lunch or dinner cooked over an open campfire. Children up to 17 years old can learn basic horseback-riding skills during Summer Horse Camp, including proper riding technique, grooming, and hoof-based sign language.

Choose Between Two Options

• $999 for one ultrasonic Vaser liposuction treatment for two areas that include the love handles, inner thighs, outer thighs, and arms (a $2,000 value)
• $1,399 for one ultrasonic Vaser liposuction treatment on each of these four areas: love handles, inner thighs, outer thighs, arms, upper abdomen, lower abdomen, upper back, lower back, and neck (a $3,000 value)

During the ultrasonic liposuction treatments, a doctor injects targeted areas with a tumescent saline solution, a local anesthetic that works to numb the site and shrink blood vessels to minimize bleeding and reduce bruising. Then, the doctor makes 1.5- to 2-millimeter incisions in the skin before he inserts a Vaser probe into the incisions. The probe emits ultrasonic energy, which liquefies fat cells. Finally, the liquefied fat is sucked out gently with a microcannula.

This procedure is designed to rid the body of stubborn fat deposits that have proven resistant to diet and exercise. Recovery time for the procedure is approximately 48 hours, and the incisions are extremely tiny, which results in less scarring. Most patients report seeing results immediately, though full results may not be visible for up to six months.

Graceful Contours

Dr. Gerry Sotomayor graduated with a medical degree from the Universidad Central del Caribe and moved to Akron, Ohio, to pursue an internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology in 1984. At that time, he was able to learn how to perform various surgeries. He also received advanced liposuction training from Dr. Jeffrey Klein. As a result, Dr. Sotomayor become an expert in both gynecology and surgery, which led him to create a diverse medical practice.

At Graceful Contours, Dr. Sotomayor focuses on surgically sculpting bodies with Vaser ultrasonic liposuction to reduce stubborn excess fat that clings to the body even after dieting, exercise, and vigorous shaking.

Fisherman's Bucket

The snap of cracking shells echoes through the numerous dining rooms of Fisherman's Bucket. Servers weave through cobblestone archways, bearing fried, steamed, or seasoned shellfish by the platter and bucket, along with po boys spilling forth oysters, gator, and catfish. Soft lights illuminate a faux shark head above booths, tables, and barstools inside, and an outdoor patio stretches out beneath the sun, stars, and skywriters passive-aggressively correcting each others' work.
