I'm leaving!

[MarkD]

That's right I'll be leaving on Thursday to go on my vacation to India.

I'll land in Bombay, and on Dec 14, fly to Goa and hang around the beaches for a week.
We will be staying at Baga beach (http://www.wordtravels.com/Attractions/Countries/India/Resorts/Baga+Beach/)

Then we fly back to Bombay for a week, then up to Delhi on Dec 27 and go see the Taj Mahal in Agra. On Dec 30, I'll be back on the plane to return to Toronto.

You won't get a ticket now, we bought ours in June.

The beaches in Goa are great, Google them. We'll be visiting Vagator and Anjusna beach also.

Here is a pic from the top of Vagator beach. I was there in Dec. 1997 and met people from all over the world in a beach bar close to where this picture was taken.

It's not that expensive to go there, if you find a cheap ticket. But for you guys from USA there are also parts which are not that far away.
Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia etc. Perfect time now to make holiday, unless you want to book over X-mas and New Year.

Don't you mean Mumbai ;) I could eat my birkenstocks if they were cooked in a good curry! Have a great trip and if you run into a blond bombshell on the beaches of Goa named Tami from Alabama ( you'll know by the accent) giving Reiki Massage tell her JB sends his best.

go see the Taj Mahal in Agra.

Make sure you get to see Fatehpur Sikri while you are in Agra - even more mindblowing than the Taj Mahal !

Also worth a look are the Ajanta & Elora caves - spectacular. (Between Bombay & Agra from memory).

Have a good trip !

When you buy the tickets in advance they are around $1600 each (CDN).

It's cheap to stay there if you have relatives, but the good hotels start at $250 night and from up from there.

I have a hard time calling it Mumbai, as when I was born there it was Bombay. I'm taking my wife so she can see a bit of India (she's of Scottish ancestry) so I better not be looking too hard for Tami. :D

Hi,

I grew up there too and to me, it will forever be Bombay. BTW, I booked my tickets three weeks ago to go on 12/20/05; a tad more expensive, USD $1700.
