Calangute It Is!

After Ritz, I have done my fair bit of out of state driving -- I have gone to Kerala, and Maharashtra.  It is now time for me to ply on the Goan roads.  This Goan tour was not supposed to have happened in the first place because we had planned on going to the "valley of flowers."  We were forced to postpone that trip until next year, for various reasons.  Anyway, I am not complaining, K has agreed to sit with me in our car even after that small skid we had in our last trip to Pune, which could have ended pretty dangerously.

I don't know who among us is more excited than the other.  My son is working very hard even as I am writing this to pack his clothes, little does he know that his mom is going to rip the bag apart when she comes back.  K is being very cautious -- she seems glad that I have finally started enjoying traveling, she also tells me to get the family back alive.  COME ON!  Regarding my excitement levels, I have only been telling people at work that while they will be having loads of fun working on Monday, I will be so very much troubled with my family around me on the beaches in Calangute.  They all sympathize with me.  :)  Well!! I do have a reason to be so very much excited.  I have almost planned this trip to perfection: (1) hotel rooms are booked; (2) memorized the route; (3) even surprised K by getting all our clothes ready for packing (she has to do the packing, because I will be tired with all the driving :) ); (4) bought my self beautiful jeans; (5) have completely charged up my son; and (6) have completed most of my work commitments.

I am glad for two reasons: I have never enjoyed traveling as much as I am doing at the moment, and I have never enjoyed traveling as much as I am doing right now.

I am planning to write a travelogue when we have returned.  And, 

Más vale pájaro en mano que cien volando. A bird in the hand is worth more than 100 flying.
