taxi from the airport to candolim/calangute/baga.

chill out with a beer/coffee , grab a local taxi and ask him to take you round,

youll find somewhere without a doubt.

we have used the same driver for the last few years, hes as genuine and well mannered as they come and has always said that if we need somewhere to stay he will find us somewhere without extortionate prices easily.

if you want me to i can ask him if its ok and pm you his number.

i need to text him anyway to pick us up from the airport.

he lives opposite souymens kitchen in candolim so knows the area.

your call buddy, im sure he would pick you up from the airport and find you somewhere in the right price range.

If you have been seven times before and are sorted for the 1st 5 days why are you worried? if it was me in those circumstances I would leave it till I got there, your certain to get fixed up.

lets hope so silentman
but with the fact that probably 10,000 extra people desend in goa for xmas and sunburn festival from the cities this year seems to be extra tough and that they can charge what they want for a room,
yes i prob will get something hopefully at a half decent price but it seems to be extra busy this time round as there is nothing on any of the hotel sites,
thanks for your reply

I would think that by the 4th many of the locals will have gone and it should be ok to find somewhere thats my experience of that period, we arrive on the 6th Jan but we are in the south, anyway good luck and have a great time :)

Hi robbie,
We were out with brenliz on Saturday and we were just asking if you were coming out and then we saw your message the next day!!
There does seem to be quite a few signs up for rooms to rent at the moment..no rates up though!!!!
I asked in our guest house but it is fully booked.....

Hope you have a safe journey and see you at wednesdays meet!

hi trina
thanks for the mail...
unfortunatly my flight for tonight has been cancelled---gutted...
jet airways they said i could not get on a flight until 03 jan,,,no good..
even though they had 2 extra flights come in and leave today???
checked for other airlines and they wanted 1900+......
i have booked a mon flight for thurs from gatwick but its only for 7 days but i suppose its better than staying here so if your still there maybe next weds meet
i am fuming
