It was in my final year of engineering that me and my friends decided to make a trip to Goa-The Land of Fun & Frolic. We had an extended weekend coming up ahead thanks to the Republic Day falling on a Monday .
Now, we didn't have a lot of money with us and we needed to budget our 3 day holiday within the limited amount we had. This meant getting cheap air tickets , a decent budget hotel and saving the rest for other miscellaneous expenses . And my useless friends left all this budget handling and trip planning to me !!Left with no choice and buoyed by the thoughts of how much fun we were gonna have,I decided to start with making the travel arrangements immediately.
First thing that needed to be taken care of were the flight tickets . GoAir and IndiGo Airlines were the preferred Airlines on my radar and I wished to compare the cost of return tickets from these. I logged onto Make My Trip as I always do and as always had a smooth experience booking the air tickets with a good discount too boot ! Thanks to Make My Trip I had finished one part of the trip planning easily and the discount they gave meant that I saved a good amount of cash and use that for the other expenses. I then spoke to a relative of mine who said we could stay at his place in Goa for the 3 days and thus saved a lot of money on the accommodation front.
Soon,the day arrived when boarded the flights and landed in Goa. Boy, I can't tell you how much fun we had !. We had a great time enjoying water sports at the Baga Beach on the first day and went to Tito's ( an awesome must visit discotheque) later in the night. We got lucky and made friends with some foreigners who invited us to a bonfire party at Anjuna Beach the next day. And boy, what a party it was with all the music and dancing and drinks .
During the next two days we visited all the places we wanted to , the Aguada Fort where Dil Chahta Hai was shot, Panjim Bridge , a lot of beautiful churches and quite a few wine shops too ! Man, the booze there is cheap !
Let me know of what you thought of my experience in Goa and do share your experiences as well. Cheers ! :)
