nI am hard pressed to pick just one favourite holiday and the best I can do is narrow down on two of my all-time favourite destinations. The first is the United States, where I’ve been regularly travelling to for work and for leisure since the late 80s. The second, of course, is Goa.

I vividly recall my first trip to the States. I had gone with a friend and we travelled cross-country by Greyhound taking in New York, Miami, San Fransisco and any place you’d care to name. It was the middle of a bitter winter, windy and freezing, but I’d never had such fun. Then again, the US is a country where fun comes easy. Even last summer I went there with my girlfriend and we headed to one of my favourite spots ? Orlando. Like moths to the flame, we were drawn to all the theme parks, complete with roller coaster rides, water games and more. We had a blast!

Goa in a way is like the complete antithesis to a holiday in the States. I returned just last week after a short break there. Though it’s raining quite a bit now, it is still very beautiful. There’s something about the rain on the sea that puts people under a spell of tranquility. The long walks, the flea markets, just sitting on the beach and looking at the ocean ? I just don’t know how my time flies there. Goa always manages to leave me feeling refreshed and at peace. Hopefully, this will see me through till my next trip.
