Family bonding in Goa (Rajiv)

Firstly, I must apologise for not getting here often. I, of course, give all my valid reasons to the wife here! Ok now about the topic(s) this week. I choose to write about "My favorite holiday".

I've been on many trips around the country and out. I've also been organizing my company's annual trip for the employees for the past 4 years and have taken people to Corbett, Pushkar, Khajjiar and recently to Chail (You can read up about the last two trips in Ishita's blog).

But my favorite holidays have been the ones I have had with my family and of those the best by far have been our two trips to Goa. The first one was back in Nov 2005 with Ishita. At that time we left Vedant behind. We stayed in South Goa at resort named "Old Anchor" and had a relaxing time. But hearts of heart we missed Vedant and while in Goa, we had already decided to make yet another trip in 2006 and take him along too.

We made the second trip in October 2006 and this time we stayed closer to Panjim City at a nice resort Cidade de goa. We chose this place as the sea here is not as rough as the one's in South Goa or North Goa beaches and would be ideal for Vedant to play at the beach. He however preferred to be in the resort pool!

The time spent there was truly memorable and fun. Personally I feel Goa each time has been a new experience and I can see myself going back there over and over again with my family. But I have a feeling Ishita is now eyeing foreign shores and would like to explore the beaches of the South east asian countries or make that long awaited trip to her see her brother's family in the US.
