Hey, thanks everyone!

It was nice meeting you all. Luckily we were able to find table inside the food court. The only downside I found was that the place was noisy.

BTW, when is our next meet?

Thanks,
Jose.

Good, I found you a travel-enthusiast.
If we think to travel 'after setting and finishing all other serious work', he will never travel. Unfortunately most are in this category.

Destination: As said my dream is to Utharkhand. It is such a state to see. An Europe in winter......

Uttarkhand is a great place.

How many days trip are you planning? Any tentative dates?
I suggest you to start a new thread so that we can get lot of information on road/route/accommodation/places of interest etc etc to fine tune the trip.

I just saw another thread started yesterday for Uttarkhand HERE

Just 8days? I am now listening. I think I can manage to stay away from office for 8days.

Can we hire a big vehicle say Innova/Xylo so that can sit together in single vehicle.
But on Driver-less rental, driver is costly and nuisance.

But no 'Rent-a-car'. They charge normal Rs. 15 km after 200 kms per day ! too costly for covering about 8000 kms.

Will you try ?

Speed.Demon · 3rd August 2011, 19:24

Sorry I couldn't make it guys, looks like I missed a good meet.

No meets possible until the Onam vacations get over, as my dad's coming over from Bahrain and we have a few trips planned. Who knows, I might even write my first travelogue on TBHP!!

But during the next meet, let's definitely arrange a photoshoot, rains or not.
