Welcoming in 2006!
Bombay,India January 3rd, 20006
First and foremost Happy New Year, everyone! Wish you guys a new year full of happiness and laughter
Sorry for being MIA, but i have a good excuse. I was in Goa and it was New Years :) The past few days seem to be a bit of a blur really, a great wonderful big blur filled with old friends, new friends, lots of sun, sand, and feni (local cashew and coconut liquor)!
Of course it was also filled with Indian men of all ages swimming in their underwear and gawking at the girls in their bikinis, hawkers trying to sell you weed, jewerly, coke, hammocks, Goan trance blasting from different bars along the beach, and taxi drivers charging you an obscenely high rate just because they can. But hey i'm in India, I wouldn't have expected anything less.
So that's it. The backpacking segment of my trip is pretty much over (i'm getting a bit teary eyed thinking about it). I no longer have to keep my wardrobe down to 3 pairs of pants and 5 shirts... i can choose to wear a pair of shoes because they actually look good and not because they can serve a dual purpose. Actually I don't know if i want to give that up... its been nice not giving a damn about the little stuff. I've got another 3 weeks left in India, hanging out with the family, doing a bit of shopping and then i'm off to Dubai for 4 days. Haven't got a clue as to what i'm actually going to do there.. and then its england for a month. And of course after that its home sweet home - it

lopa darling - thanks for all the news of goa and your new year - how simple life would be to have only 3 prs pants and 5 shirts - but then youve had all those lovely new clothes made in vietnam, so nearly time to try them on. buy some gold in dubia - cheapest in the world. no doubt derek is counting the days till you arrive and you both have a good japanese meal 'for old times sake' love patsy xx
Hey,
I started reading your friends blog on Ball of Dirt and ending up reading both of your accounts of the trip. I just wanted to say it sounded like you had quite the experience, and I enjoyed reading all your stories.
