The Clouds, Sand & Sea

There was a time, long, long, long ago, when the thought of Goa would see us head out for a rail journey, with a stop in Bombay thrown in for good measure. Then we'd try to get some bus tickets, pleading for the dates we needed. When we finally got those, we'd head out for a leg cramping vacation by the sea.

Often, we've been tempted to relive those moments. Well, not the leg cramping bits. We came this close to it, when airline routes to the enticing destination were announced earlier this year. We'd mentally packed our bags. As that thing goes, about best laid plans.

Then this arrived. And I thought yet again of Goa - sand, surf, clouds. Glad, my lovely sis-in-law Jaya could squeeze in a holiday even though we couldn't.

Guess, what it does take to get there are pictures of perfection.....
