How about when you pay for your first meal and drinks and see how little it has cost. :clap :clap

It's a case of everyone to their own .......... but just for the record, I have TWO favourite times.

The first one doesn't happen every day, it happens just the once. Thats when you've arrived at your hotel, unpacked, had a shower and made your way to a favourite shack. The temperatures are 30+, (you know it's bitterly cold back home) and you get your first ice-cold Kingfisher and let the stresses and strains of everyday life (plus the travelling) just slip-slide away. A feeling of smugness and well-being overcomes your body as you know you've two long weeks of this ahead of you. Well, two weeks for me and the missus anyhows !!! :)

The second is watching the sun set with yet another beer, listening to mood/chill music at a shack, contemplating on where to eat that night and which footwear hasn't turned red. Its all good !!!!!!!!!

:sun2 :cheers :sun2 :cheers

Knobsy - that gave me goosebumps!! You've got it spot on!!

I can't believe we aren't going back this season - we convinced ourselves to try somewhere new "as there are so many other places to see.... blah blah blah" :rage

I'm so envious of you all!!

:wave: Cheers for accolades ....... I feel like some kind of author setting the mood !! :rofl

Joking aside, you can get that same sort off 'buzz' in the majority of destinations. It just seems a teeny-weeny bit more laid back of a buzz in Goa though. :cheers

It would seem that despite all the bad news about Goa we all still feel drawn to it.Is there really anywhere else that quite has this magnetism?

Somehow Papa I just can't see it.... we are off to Cuba in March - and as beautiful as it looks I know I won't get the same feeling as in Goa!!

It may sound silly but, everytime I'm reminded that I'm not off to Goa this season I get this really sad feeling inside!! I just can't explain it.

Sorry Fiona :offtop

I think the best time is when you have your tan so not to look like a new arrival (about 4 days), on you sunbed on the beach having a chat with the local beach sellers that you meet each year and catching up on whats been happening.

I like my late afternoon walk from the River Princess up the surf to Calangute and back, just listening to my ipod chill music and people watching.

What IS that smell? I know the one you mean, but can't quite put my finger on it.

My favourites times are:-

1. When the plane lands and the doors open. It doesn't matter that it may still be dark but you can instantly feel the heat and smell the smells of Goa, if you know what I mean.
2. Breakfast between 7 and 8 am, because it is sunny but not hot and the birdsong is really lovely.
3. Watching a sunset either on the beach or on the balcony of our room, sipping a beer.
