Yes i don't think this is going to help is it. I for one will be watching to see how things are going to span out, We should be going in DEC straight through to Goa But i have to say things are looking a bit iffy at the min as if to go or not especial over Xmas time we will have to wait and see All we can do is watch and hope it is just one off

I hope IC and Polly are ok.
I go in 9 days but willl have to see what develops.
Unless something actually happens in Goa I can't see them advising against travel there.
We were there a few years ago and ecerything was on high alert then.
Its just awful what is happening for the people caught up in it and their families and such a shame for the ordinary Indian who will be the loser in all this.
At the moment FCO are only advising against non essential travel to Mumbai

I know the FCO might not advise against travel to Goa, but the terrorists are targeting British and Americans, so its obvious they might target Goa as lots of Westerners travel to Goa.
This is only my opinion, i wouldnt say cancel your trip to Goa, but i might be cancelling my trip.
We are flying to Mumbai on Sunday, we havent got a clue what is happening I phoned BA this morning and as far as they are concerned they are still flying. But we are to await further decisions.
what date are you in Mumbai - we are there on the 9th December. We are a little "jumpy" but there is not a lot we can do about it - only hope and pray for the best.
Mumbai, in my opinion is one of the greatest cities in the world and I'm truly devastated for everyone caught up in the violence of the last 24hours.
Although we'll be vigilant I certainly won't be put off going to the country I love.
I grew up in 1970's Birmingham with the hideous atrocities carried out by the IRA and the constant shadow of terrorism. We had no choice but to go about our daily business and many of us have developed a fatalistic attitude as a consequence.
Carol we are not there until the 20th dec, still going if flight is still going there, although i am worried i wont change my plans because of these terriorists. I am glad that IC and her OH are well and hope they get back to Goa very soon. Gel
I also hope everyone is ok, but like yummymummy, I am a bit aprehensive at the moment and might consider cancelling our trip to Goa as I also feel its a prime target. Hopefully not though fingers crossed.

I also think Goa will be a prime target, so this is why i am a bit scared. We haven't booked it yet, but i am going to get our visas this week, and if we hear of anything happening in Goa during the next month then we will definetly not be booking for Goa, and will have to go somewhere else. After all, it will only be around 100pounds we will lose if we plan on not going.
Goa
I can't imagine Ingo Market continuing. I certainly would not feel safe aanywhere in Goa where there are large crowds, especially at Xmas for sure. Don't really want to comment any more about this for obvious reasons.
take care
Mumbai is Indias finance capital and they have targeted the biggest hotels and aimed it at western tourists to have the biggest impact on Indias economy. If people cancel then they have won. You have terroist incidents all over the world, what should we do all stay indoors for the rest of our lives
people .put things in perspective the way every one drives theres more chance having a fatality on a scooter .i know that sounds terrible but thats my way of dealing with it . do not let these evil people infect your life. think posotive . look forward to your holiday and enjoy your life youve been given. dont give in its exactly what they want
If I had young children, I think at the present time, I would reconsider going to Goa for a holiday. As I don't I would still go.
Spoke to Irish Colleen last night and today she is very very upset and very scared i hope everybody thoughts are with her and John, ours are, god be with you colleen and John.
