May Month, wife and myself plans to go for a tour as last family holiday taken in durga puja time.. so what venue should we chose?? discussion goes on.. and a lot of local, and outside venues come in to mind.. suddenly i suggest why not GOA.. Wife said Goa in Monsoon and with Kids.. I say, yep Goa is not a remote area, well known tourist place and in monsoon also we can see the beauty of goa with less price.. So Finally Destination Set Goa..Then what date?? i chose end of August as usually in Goa rain start from June and last up to September, but less rain in end of August to September...Now how many days we will stay.. as my works do not allow me to take many days leave, i will say 7 days highest i can take leave. so total tour will be included to and fro, 10 days.. .i planned to stay in Goa for 4 days and 3 days in Mumbai and 3 days will be in train to and fro....I reserved train tickets, as no direct train from Rourkela to Goa, i have to make break journey at Mumbai.

I booked a homestay from airbnb for 4 nights, cost me Rs.4600...named Madeira Manson, infront of Fortune Across Regina Hotel..Homestay is Nice, big rooms, good for both family and bachelors..
