Hi Vegasone, hope you enjoyed your trip, looking forward to your report, I hope this cold spell finishes soon as I am off in 4 weeks, we love the heat

hope you had a good trip, did you stay at pheonix park just saw post saying charging 6000 a room, and just for future ref: first choice do a flight only search and get them to email you with deals they do flights extra leg and food all inc taxes £370.00 thats the same as i paid for last 3 visits to goa

ok.

Girlfriend drives me to Gatwick for my 18.10 flight and I meet my friend inside at 14.00 ( we like to get there early). I am sad as I am going to miss my partner but anyway I soon cheer up when I see the check in is open and there is no queue.

Get window seat and go through security removing belts and shoes etc.

Duty free, sat in the bar and watched the sunset also earwigged on peoples conversations as there was only a Goa flight going out .

Got on the plane at the back in a row of 3 seats by the window at 18.40 and took off at 19.10 ish. No one sitting next to me so we promtly took 3 valium wrapped ourselves up in blankets stuck I pods on and slept.

Woke up at Goa time 0.800 and had a sandwich, landed at 9.20 ish and was outside waiting for our taxi at 9.50.

how boring is that

Carry on Vegas , I always enjoy your reports, you are like me I love a good old earwig at the aiport too

Vegas...what date did you fly out...was it the Saturday evening flight?? We were only there the SAME time again as you

sat 26th jan

any way

got our taxi 750 ruperts and fled to the Phoenix park, boy driving was a shmoozer and promptly tried to chat us up...sigh I let my friend chat as she likes the men and a young boy chatting her up is funny.

Arrived at Phoenix and asked to seee a new room, off we trotted ( not like a horse) and saw a double room with fab tiling and a proper bathroom all very very nice thank you very much ..can we have this room then? ERR yes madam its 6000 ruperts a night. Oh really I said well I will take my 2000 ruperts room thanks. Went upstairs took out towel and changed in to bikinis and fled to 21 coconuts shack looking pale and NEW.

every one said hello, we covererd ourselves in factor 30 and slept, no one bothered us and not even the pink otstrich puppet ( who buys that stuff ) would wake me up as I had my I- pod on...very handy in Goa it deters the selllers.

Met our friends who go every year to the same place, the old man and his wife, he wears a leopard print thong for 2 weeks and he must be 75 bless, David and roger and his wife who stay there for months, one big happy familly, then we met val and brian who had always been to thailand and it was there fiorst stay in Goa , they were there for 4 weeks and got there the same day as us. Lovely couple and we chatted about Goa the do's and donts etc.

Exellent trip report Vegasone.
Damned funny too, do like your style

Next part please but make it longer

Btw I bought 2 of them pink ostriches, only 500 ruperts the pair.

wow alot has changed since last march you can now pay with rupert the bears. how many to the pound please.

"off we trotted" [not like a horse]

STILL P**SING MYSELF LAUGHING !

OMG, I'm sure we see the leopard print thong man every day of our holiday last year walking past our sunbed with a wrinkly bum!!

ok

so the first day we get back to our room and unpack after being on the beach.

I ring for a boy to bring me hangers as there are 6 in the wardrobe....he brings me 3 more

We shower and then relax for a bit watching tv before we trott off to see the elephant shop and Guru. Nitesh and Gitali say Hi and then we go to Guru and drop our rings off for cleaning ( I like a clean ring)

Then we met our other work collegue in Casa Seashell who went out a week before us on her own and we eat dinner...... and talk about work by now we are shivering and its only 20.00hrs.

We finish up and walk home and I remind at least 7 men that my name is Amanda not taxi. My friend likes dogs and strokes every dog we see, this leads them to following us home and one night a dog got into the hotel up the stairs and sat outside our door I told her to get the dirty filthy thing away so she got her winalot that she brings from home ( yes I know) and takes the dirty thing away.

so next morning our alarm goes off ( yes I know) and we venture to the breakfast bash and oh my god................

I am loving your report I can't wait for the next bit, I have to keep logging on every hour to check.

lol this is funny stuff.

Did look a little chilly for goan standards. Hotting up now though.

I'm confused was the dog outside the door the same one that drove you from the airport

grrrrrrrrr no more report yet sighs, will have to make a coffee and re check

vegasone,
please hurry up with the next installment....jxk8

ok

we venture down to breakfast and I notice all the lids are open on the food, there are 3 cups, no spoons, no juice, 2 new normal english toasters , no bread and people smoking so already now there is steam coming from my ears..infact there was more steam betweeen us than from the urn.

so we agree that its the norm again and without the Manager Mario there is nothing we can do about it so we order omletes. People are smoking and even though I smoke I would rather eat my food without it in my face. There was a few other white bods around at breakfast having moan about simple things like , no hot water. The greatest thing was watching people remove the toast from the toaster using metal tongs English people are very silly yes.

Anyway we walked to the beach but dropped in on our way out to see the new Manager, I mentioned the smoking and the other stuff and the fact that there was 4 chefs mincing around and only one frying pan on the go and that vegetarians shopuld have a seperate fryer. I mentioned the lids and how the flies love food, and how the food was cold. I mentioned the lack if hot water for tea, the lonely cup and that it would make sense to have bread in the basket before people have to ask. I mentioned how when youy ask a boy to bring more cups he saunters off and returns 10 minutes later with a tray of 3 cups I told him that if he does not sort out the breakfast in here people will not re- book.

The next day smoking was only allowed outside. There were at least 12 boys working but not actually doing anything except collecting your plate when you had not finished....so waste of breath really.

Anyway same day on the beach said hi to Linb who has had a new 'air do and was sitting on her balcony. My friend fed the dogs on the beach with her winalot ( yes I know) they all ran up to her every morning after day one, she was like the pied piper of Goa.Said Hi to thong man and had another familly day.

Fell asleep donning i - pod and was woken by small child who put a carrier bag of bananas on my bare bosom and asked if I wanted a banana We eat fish that day and it was lovely, day ended about 16.30 as it was very breezy and we were being exfoliated for free.

Off we walk back to hotel with 3 dogs in tow ( yes I know) we are asked if we want to lookey at my shop, a dozen times and a dozen times I now ignore people...rude I know but I am sick of the insencerity of some of the sellers, they smile at you ' hi good morning how are you. ' then when you reply fine thanks good morning' they pounce on you and I am sick of it as much as I am sick of being called a taxi.We make a detour to the dentist to make appointments for a check up, we come out having made 2 appontments and one for botox ( yes I know) but the botox was not for me

Funny stuff Vegas, keep it up. Very entertaining report

The South has a resident token thong man too, he walks the beach every morning in his leopard print thong. Mind you he has a fantastic body for a man of his age, im guessing he must be very late 60's. If ya got it flaunt it

Oh do tell, how did the botox go and how much did it cost?
