OPINION OF THE COURT
CHAGARES, Circuit Judge.
While receiving a massage treatment at a Barbados hotel, appellant Patrick J. O’Connor slipped, fell, and injured his shoulder. He and the hotel had arranged for that massage by telephone after the hotel mailed a spa brochure to his Pennsylvania home. Mr. O’Connor and his wife Marie brought negligence claims against the hotel, and the District Court dismissed for want of personal jurisdiction. In this appeal, we conclude that the District Court had specific jurisdiction to adjudicate the O’Connors’ claims. As a result, we will reverse and remand.
