report?I can't think straight at the moment We loved Goa and will return there- hopefully without the rain next time!

Fi will you return just to Goa or visit other parts of India again?
cheers Lyn

I would have to say we liked the combination we did. If I had a clear two weeks again I would def combine Goa with elsewhere. I'm off to look at where else we would visit. Granted we only had a taster with 6 days of touring but it was a real eyeopener.And it is some experience.

glad you enjoyed Fiona, looking forward to hearing all about it ..

Can't wait

Hi Fiona,

Welcome back - glad you enjoyed your trip and the tour.

Now that the visa situation seems to be returning to the old system we are going to look at a trip plus Goa for February plus prehaps Kerala (having changed to Thailand for our November trip).

If you ar anyone else has tried Kerala (any advice on pre-booked trips welcome) and Goa - and particularly if they have any comments on flights from Cochin to Dabolim (I shudder when I think of this one!!!!) - I would be very interested to hear of their experience.

I will get round to the report sometime- promise At the moment I am still recovering.

Hi PeteB
We are leaving Heathrow for Kerala on Friday 2nd Nov (Can't wait) We fly into Mumbai and then fly on down to Kerala (Cochin). We are doing an organised trip with Somak which includes a night on the back waters. It is a private trip with our own taxi. We are also going up into the hill area to the tea plantations. We fly from Cochin back to Mumbai and then a separate flight down to Goa! Aparently there are no flights (well none at the time that we want them) that fly Cochin to Goa direct. One week Kerala, One week Goa. We fly from Goa to Mumbai and then Mumbai to Heathrow. The only disadvantage I can see at the moment is a 9 hour wait in Mumbai on the way back. However, we are flying schedule with Jet Airways, so hopefully this will make up for it, ie. better conditions on board, more room, no hassle at Goa, as with a charter flight!!!!
Will let you know how it goes.

Welcome home Fiona, now you will be just finding out how Goa is slowly creeping under your skin!!

You need that first visit and then get home before you discover that strange fascination and addiction to Goa and the people

pity my work does not allow holidays during the peak Goa season

There's always Christmas Fiona

no- I'm in Thailand then

Hi Rogietlegs,

Thanks for the reply. Strangely enough we have downloaded a Somak brochure. Looks interesting.

I don't want to go of topic here and hijack Fiona's thread.

Would appreciate your views on your return. We will be in Thailand until 26 November and intend to book ASAP afterwards.

At the moment it is Kerala / Goa or Kenya.

Many thanks and enjoy your trip

Peter
