Nice travelogue Stuart. Nice pictures too. Keep going. So do we get to see a picture of your partner?

menonrajesh · 17th October 2008, 16:31

Great write-up Rahul!

Yes, I also have heard a lot about this Caravel from my colleagues many a times and have bookmarked the place

My friends had managed to get some snaps through mobile and they were greatttt!

Looking forward for the rest of the journey..

I think he's already posted a pic of his partner here - Rahul's MTP?

Nice travelogue McL. Your Swift looks bone stock!

Nice pics, Rahul. What was the dates you visited Goa? Myself & family and my friend's family were in Goa from 09/10 to 12/10. I took a different route - Belgaum-Amboli-Savanthwadi...Most of the pic locations where you have taken pics are same. I'am uploading in another travelogue.

Great one mcl. The pics and narations are tempting us to do it asap.

BTW, what is that blackbird or seabird?

Very true, I am already turning blue for missing the casino...but what to do, travelling with kids - that was an impossibility - though they provide facilities for leaving the children at their care centre at the shore.

Nice write up and nice pics too Kulla. couldn't see the roads we traveled in as it was during night. Now am seeing it through your pics.

I guess you misunderstood. While I appreciate your view of nothing is impossible, I respectfully take your attention to the fact that I did not want to get into the casino for over two hours leaving my kids at shore. I really feel that for me it is impossible to do that, leaving my kids in an unknown land and getting to do what I want. Sorry, and once again no offence intended.

Yeah...I misunderstood completely. I thought you are talking of taking kids to Goa and not to Casino. Nobody here (atleast in India) would like to leave their family on beach / shore and go to casino.

Sorry Rahul a bit of OT here. Continue your travelogue.
