Looks like we will be there on our own...

Chances are we will be going in October but probably towards the end of the month like we have done the last couple of years, so will probably miss you.

We are intending to fly out about the 10th October subject to renewing our business visa and finding a flight at the right price but can't even book a flight yet as we stay until the end of May and the airlines only let you book the return flight 330 days or so in advance

Seems Qatar are not doing that this season meagain unlike all the other Airlines and you have been able to book with them over 330 days in advance,we intend to fly back around 19th Oct,just waiting for the right price

Split .....do you honestly think 'er in doors would settle for 20 plus kilos allowance of hold luggage instead of the 46 kilos each that Jet or Kingfisher offer

I nearly feel sorry for the case snatchers at Goa's airport but I am over the moon to give them 50 Rps for dragging 92 kilos out of my hands at the airport and wheeling it out to the car park also for loading it into our car and strapping it on the roof

I always dreamed of owning a house abroad where you could leave your clothes and possessions, so you only had to transport the minimum, I would love someone like to explain this dream to 'er at the next meet, I would be happy to part with another 50 or 60 Rps for a medium sized Honey Bee or a donation towards hospital fees

Thinking about it, no i dont think she would settle for that, well its not quite 20 ks but 35ks ,just maybe she may just think you dont need all that toot this time I will try my hardest to explain next time,though i think were on a uphill struggle,and you need a bigger car

yes thats such a pain, when we go back to uk we usually book our return flights from here in Goa but this year we are booking a single back to uk and then re booking from UK as so fed up with getting only 28 kgs on Kingfisher and Jet when everyone else in the queue has 46kgs!!!!!

seems unjust that booking as Indian from here you get reduced allowance... discrimination i say
