Hi rishi851, my husband and youngest son are both sport mad one of the hi-lights of a trip to Goa for them was to watch an England & India cricket match with some of our Goan friends. They had a fantastic day out. They both love watching and playing football too. I think the reason a lot of people dont like cricket is because they dont understand it and it takes a lot longer than a 90 minute football match.
Hi, my name is Adrian, 44, living in North Wales. Single traveller (getting nervous now!!) flying from Manchester to Goa for the first time on 8th Dec. I am staying at the Senhor Angelo in Calangute for two weeks. I had the jabs today - no probs!
Great site with loads of tips/info.

Hi
I am Vickie & this will be my first time in Goa.
I am lucky enough to have travelled quite a lot in the Far East & North America, also Europe but I am really looking forward to experiencing somewhere new. I must admit that I love the Far East, the sights, even the sounds & smells (although some have been a bit much!). I think the best place I have been (so far that is) is Bali, so beautiful & such lovely people.
I like to try to get off the beaten track a bit but this time I might have to be more "touristy" as I will have my rather nervous friend in tow.
I have been getting some great tips from this forum & all the posts seem so fridnly, it's great.
Best regards to you all

hi i am asha from wolves.im 46 and i lived in goa for about 14 months in 2001/02. i rented a house on the anjuna mapusa road for 6 months and the rest of the time i stayed in a beach room off baga beach.went back to baga for a 2 week holiday in 2006 and am flying out on feb 11th for 2 weeks with my son. will be staying in riverside guest house. find this site very interesting, so looking fwd to my holiday but dreading the traveling (getting too old for it!)
i didnt work, i had recently divorced, sold a house had a bit of spare cash, decided to spend a year in india visiting my roots, (am half indian)...i suppose i did see a fair bit of india..but regarded goa as home and came back each time after i visited other parts..despite having lots of family up north.i can see that goa gets to people in a way that keeps drawing us back.
about the travelling tho..the posts about dabolim do not sound too good, i dont recall it being that bad tho..think im prepared for it..iv had some real indian horror travel stories so dabolim shouldnt be a problem..and it is worth it isnt it?

I only arrived and departed there on internal flights but it didn't seem as bad as I thought.
You will need to have a look at the India forum as I'll bet you can help with advice there as well

Hiya everyone, me (25) and my fiance(24) are going to Goa (staying in Palmarinha Resort, Calangute) for the very first time. We fly 3rd March from Manchester with First Choice for 2 weeks. Got our visas back today and very excited.
We were going to go back to Thailand for a month but because of work issues, could only get a couple of weeks off and thought, hey ho, lets go to Goa. It most certainly will be better than the old Spain or Greece type holiday (nothing against them by the way, we have enjoyed plenty of hols there). Just fancied a really good change.
Well, if anyone is going the same time as us, let me know.
