Very much here. And looking on. Have kept myself free for any of the days. Looks like 16th is confirmed?
Sweet chilly sounds good for dinner. Reservations can be made. But be warned atmosphere will be a lot more somber due to the monsoons. 16th 4ish sounds good to meet at britto's.(to quench some thirsty souls)

Seriously

why dont you stay here & go to DXB for work everyday morning? Seriously

Ha ha ha!
That was a nice one, Mansi.

It seems like we may have 3 vehicles from Kerala. Yeah! Just on the probable mode now.
Accommodations are now being confirmed in Baga. 1200 for a 2bedroom apartment which accommodates 6 people. No ac.
Ac rooms are available near Calangute for 700 per room which accommodates 3people.

Flight timings are not convenient, da. Otherwise I'd have done it long back ( I used to travel to Saudi Arabia from DXB every morning for about 8 months).

All this is seriously OT - get back to the meet. I cant seem to find any direct flight into Goa which will allow me to leave on Wed/Thu from here and return on Sat night/Sun morning.

Aditya · 6th August 2008, 20:07

Here's another confirmation.
Aditya + 2
I'm leaving Bombay on 14th (Thursday) morning and returning on 18th (Monday). I'll be staying at Calangute. My friend's made some arrangement.
BTW, keep a good, hot female masseur ready for me because by the looks of things, I'll be driving down in an Alto, not my Contessa.

The flight are every Tuesday and Friday I think, that was the earlier schedule, don't know the new one. So you can leave one early, and may betake a connection from Bombay.

Rohan, sweet chilly sound good, but Britto may be a lil wet for a meet.

Any ideas for a 4p.m date? A head count would be nice.

mansidea · 7th August 2008, 11:00

Zak, shall we start a head count from COK? How about a late night drive on thursday and reach goa on friday morning.

Steer, lets know if you want your truck in goa.

Cochin gang, you guys will be passing within 5Kms of my place. Most probably I would have left for another trip on 15th morning. But if you guys are passing by earlier than that, we could meet.
