Hi, I'm Indigoa. Tired to get the name Indigo (after Indigo Jones, my Holloywood fave role), but typed an extra a and now stuck with Indigoa! Not so bad, tho'

I have been using this site for years and found it excellent, my fiancee and I have just returned from our 9th holiday in goa. I have only just joined as was quite nervy about you all. I tried most of the recommended restaurants in the north and loved a few in the south too. Some tips that I used from holidaytruths were the 'how to fight mossies' tips. Thanks all.

I am sorry if I make a few mistakes, but still would like to share my experiences, if you think it would help? My brother and his wife live in India now, and I visit them often.

Hi. I am Mark (40) and I will be going (hopefully) to Goa with my girlfriend on the 3rd March for 2 weeks with First Choice from Manchester....the same flight as SuperKing. Only booked the flight yesterday - previously was only going to have a week in Morocco or Tunisia.... but took a big risk that we will get the Visas on time (sent special delivery today). I think I will be spending a large amount of time browsing this forum in the next two weeks as we have nowhere to stay yet.... and personally probably don't want to stay in the same place for the full 2 weeks. I never bothered booking beforehand for Nepal or Sri Lanka.... but with someone else in tow I think I better have something lined up - at least for the first night!

Have come across this site before - looking at hotel reviews - but didn't realise until yesterday that there was this great forum. In fact I thought this thread was about some 'meet and greet' service at the airport on arrival!!
