GOA _ February 2006


...and yet another trip down to Goa. I can never get sick of Goa, well after 4 days maybe but never on the thought of just going to Goa.

4th Feb '06 - Suchi, Nishi & I fly in phool ishtyle by Air Deccan, ticks bought 2 months ago - cheap deal - Rs.2500 return. We are all loaded with beetchy clothes... sarongs, bandanas, caps, sun-blocks, fruity body wash(es), chappals, tank-tops, party tops, more sun-block, sun-glasses, dispirins, iron, hair-dryer, skirts, shorts, pajamas, swimwear and the list goes on... Thank you air deccan for allowing our luggage in without further scrutiny.

Our 1st night was a horror. I booked us in Sea View Cottages having rosey thoughts about the place; oh! it's facing the sea and it's a cottage all to us; naha! it was so not what i - we thought. The darn geyser looked like it would explode any time, bathroom door won't shut, a million ants outside our room door. Not that i wanted a Taj Village type of standards but comme on i need hot water and a toilet door thats shuts.

So, we jumped to Cavala resort.................... a dream for someone who wants to enjoy a good holiday under budget. We spent the same amount for an a/c suite as compared to the broken toilet door - geyser exploding cottage. 7 steps outside my suite and i am inside a swimming pool. We were so damn lucky to get rooms on a last minute notice. Hey! and not to forget, we also get breakfast inclusive of our stay, yet again in the same price.

All in all an awesome trip. We got back in one piece. I say that because the last time Suchi & i had a nasty bike accident and returned badly bruised that took months to heal. A lesson learnt: 'Nazar Hatee Durghatna Ghatee'.

For those who haven't been to Goa - you are so missing out.
For those who haven't gone for long - don't miss a chance.
For those who go very often - will you stop crowding up and give others a chance. (just kidding, have a blast!)
