Finally, it’s some time off for me. My DH gave me a lovely surprise (although at too short a notice to be able to shop adequately for the trip. I think that was the idea! :wink:) - a trip to Goa. So I am off to Goa for a few days to take in the Konkan beauty, laze away on the gorgeous beaches, soak in the swimming pool and find some good bargains in the beach bazaars.

I am leaving on the 24th morning which is coming Monday and which means I have only this week to shop for essentials and take care of my home and work so that they both function effectively while I am away. Gotta get started!
