for later on.
I hope everyone has a great time whether youre here in the UK or Goa xx

Re: Goa gossip and general chat

Hope everyone had a lovely christmas, i will be back in Goa in less than a month

. I know i said we were changing our destination to Mexico, but to be honest i did have in the back of my mind doubts, so we have decided to give Goa another go. What put us off mexico was going all inclusive.

Re: Goa gossip and general chat

Thanks Chilly

Adele - I have never been all inclusive before, and i have to say i do not know if i will like it. The reason i love Goa is because i have the freedom to do whatever i want to do without spending lots of money.
One example is trips. In Goa you can do lots of trips with taxi drivers for a small cost, but in Mexico a day out at a waterpark can set you back at 50pounds per person minimum.
Our limited budget comes in to play here, as well as wanting to explore Goa, instead of basically being in the hotel all the time like we would have been in Mexico.

There is still a thought of what happened in Mumbai, but after having some serious thoughts, why should we put our holiday on hold. I doubt anything will happen in Goa now.

£50 wow thats a lot, i have just heard of bad reports of all inclusive, never had it myself....

as for what happened in mumbai, i can understand, we are out there on 4th jan and were going to go to mumbai but now we will go to south goa, and your quite right ,why should we put our holiday on hold for them....,

Re: Goa gossip and general chat

Is that the programme where the lady called Jo called her business 'Jo's Ponderosa'?

I really enjoyed that programme. I hope she is still happy and doing well out in Goa.
