Goa
one of the best places you can visit and NOV- DEC are great times, though u will have look up the bookings right now inorder to even step in a hotel in december towards new years. Its carnival time in Goa during that period so its really difficult.
Goa is all about beaches and lazing in the sun, gettin yourself pampered to the T.
Places to see
Beaches - Calangute, Baga, Anjuna ( famous for the flea market and Hippies
yea u will still find them there.)
Churches
Museum
Theres a sunset cruise like the ones we have on creek if you want to try your hand at it
Visit Vasco to see the old portugese fort.
Moreover rather than places to see goa is all about beaches. Booze is absolutely cheap ( last time i went a bottle of beer(750 ml) costed me 1 dh 25 phils). The sea food is absolutely amazing so people who love fish will have a amazing time there.
Places to stay
would highly recommend Fort Aguada - Taj
The Leela Goa
Cidade De Goa
Last time i stayed at Cidade De goa with a friend for 4 nights 5 days , breakfast, lunch and dinner included, aong with the airfare from Mumbai it cost me around 3000 dh. ( it was a discounted package through a friend)
for hotel reservations go to google and type the names above to find availablity rightaway if you are trying for december. for Leela its not available coz even i was looking
.
By the way fayz i will be in India in december as well
cheers,
