AJ i surpose the prices will go sky high for those of us that are going, not looking forward to haggling over everything 
i think i might be using the bus for some of my journeys. Gel

It would be aweful if prices go up like mad. But it does not look like the prices have gone up too much since I have booked a few rooms in Vagator (early January 09) at the same price I booked last year. I hope basic things remain the same like hiring taxis, bikes, eating out and drinking in shacks... 
AJ i hope so to, going in December.
Does all this mean that early January would look like late October? Vagator is quiet anyway 
My friend is in Calangute now and says its really quiet.
Less tourists inevitably means price rises, as taxis, bar, shack & restaurant owners try & get the same, if not more money as last year out of far fewer tourists!
Couple that with Rs74 to the £ sterling & it could make for a comparatively expensive trip!
I've heard, shock horror that with the current poor exchange rate, the more expensive places are now charging the Rupee equivalent of £1 sterling for a 650ml bottle of Kingfisher. . . . . . . .

Is it unusually quiet or is it normal for this time of year? 
Whenever we have been to Goa in late November early December we found it to be quiet. We were told that it picks up just before Christmas.
we went in jan this year and to me it was busy,even though they said it was slightly down on the year befor, but it was our first time..
Thats what I thought that it is quite normal for this time of year.
And I dont go until the first two weeks of April next year, I guess I can look forward to even higher prices as the traders/taxis/restaurants will have had a poor season and so put their prices up 
Oh and the usual end of season game the police play...."Lets see how many shacks we can pull down today"
