1. Book a HOTEL or RESORT (We booked a RESORT, which was decent enough. It is called BAMBOO MOTELS . We were in a COTTAGE (which has 2 huge bed rooms and off-course they do have individual rooms) .. ;-) We paid around 1500 Rs/Day for cottage + 100 Rs for extra bed and individual rooms costs around 1000 Rs/Day
Goa Plan !!!
1. As soon as you enter GOA limits... Don't get excited ... Just Sit and Relax ;-)
2. After getting out of TRAIN ..in VASCO DA GAMA ..Catch a Taxi and go to PANJIM.
3. Go to M/Hotel or Room ... Fresh'n up ;-) .. Have cup off Tea ... ;-).
4. Book a bike (around 250 to 300 Rs rent per day + Petrol) or CAR (900 to 1000 Rs or more depending on the CAR you choose) to travel locally... That is the best means of transport (They will ask your License and Deposit which is refunded at the END). You can get the details from the Resort Manager or super visor or as soon as you get down in Panjim Main bus stop, you will find taxi's and you can check those guyz for rented bikes or Cars. Negotiate properly J
Day 1 –
a. Go to Miramar hotel for break fast ..which is opposite to Miramar Beach ..It opens at 12.00 PM ..nice place for Break fast (there are two hotels in the same place .. go to the one which opens at 12.00 PM and order for Channa Batturaa with Beer ..after break fast order Chocolate almond....Yummmiiiiiii ).
b. Go to Chapora fort (Remember DIL CHAHTA HAIN Movie’s Goa Trip J) .. awesome place .. If you have stamina .. Trek to that place from the Vagator beach... Get adequate fluids ..I know you will get tired .. ;-)
c. Thats it for Day 1 .. You will be itching to go back to your room .. ;-)
d. While coming from Dil chahta hain fort (chapora) ;-) .. on the way to your Resort (if you are booking BAMBOO MOTELS) ..on right side (Main road towards Margao)..you will find Baskin Robbins stop there again have Chocolate Almond ..... you will be charged up ;-) ..
e. Next to Baskin Robbins, you have Dominos..Order two large Cheese burst pizza and go to your MOTEL .. sit by the pool side ..and Enjoy the bite ;-) with a chilled Beer ;-)
Day 2 –
a. Repeat Day 1, Step a ;)
b. Get your Swimming costumes and Go To CANDOLIM Beach. Another good place where you can enjoy !!!
c. On the way to CANDOLIM Beach, you can see KINGFISHER VILLA .. Curse Vijay Mallya & his Son Siddharth Mallya to have such a wonderful Villa, Life and off-course HOT GALS ;-)
d. After cursing Mallya get inside to CANDOLIM Beach ..search for nice shacks and relax for few minutes and get ready to dive into Water .. Enjoy the wonderful waves .. ;-)
e. Before getting into water ..Order some food ... so that it will be ready when you get back to your shacks bcoz you will be damn hungry ;-)
f. There will be lot of Goa tourist guyz near the beach and offer you to take to middle of the beach and show Dolphins and say scuba diving (but it is just snorkeling) and bloddy they charge 1500 to 2000 Rs per head .. but its dead investment .. don’t ever take that
g. May be you can try Para-sailing which will be fun (I haven't tried.. I missed it L.
h. But don't miss BANANA RIDE ..That is real fun & awesome .... he will give you life jackets and drop you in the middle of the beach .. hey ..Don’t get scared its real fun J.
i. For Gals : So again normal tendency of Gals ..... shopping on road side .. ;-) ..Carry on with your shopping .. I can't give you suggestions on that ;) .
j. After shopping, surely you will be crazy to rush back to Motel ;-)
k. Have dinner on the way or at your Motel.
Day 3 –
a. Repeat Day 1, Step a)
b. Don't go to CALANGUTE BEACH... it will be jam packed .. (rather I don't want to go thr) .. if you want to check how it is !!! then get into that Beach.. but Not a gr8 place.

d. Repeat Day 1 Step d & e ;-)
e. End of Day 3. Relax
Day 4 – Most important Day of GOA Trip, without which your Trip is incomplete ;-) !!!
a. Repeat Day 1, Step a) ..But be bit early as you need to travel atleast 75 to 80 Kms to reach to one of the most ROMANTIC and AWESOME place.
b. . i.e PALOLEM BEACH... Best beach of ALL .... Don't you dare to MISS THIS BEACH.. This is one of my FAVORITE BEACH..Very calm and less crowd ... Juz perfect way to End your trip ..
