My weekend GO-Away

Despite my usual love for Monday mornings, I won’t lie: the Sunday night blues hit last night, and they hit hard! Β After a fantastic weekend away in Goa, the last thing I wanted to do was set my alarm for this morning. Β Even though it’s only a 1-hour flight away from Mumbai and the trip lasted a mere 2.5 days, this break from the monotony of routine transcended me into a complete state of zen. Other than coming back from Goa recharged, here are some other bits I got out of this trip:

  • If you plan on rocking up as the last passengers on a flight, be prepared to face the ‘walk of shame’ as you board.
  • It’s never too early for happy hour to start

  • Despite sharing a villa with 8 other girls, don’t rely on someone else bringing a hair dryer
  • A few days without caring about what you’re eating isn’t going to make you fat or unhealthy…and on that note, nothing hits the spot at 4am quite like greasy food

  • When I ‘grow up’ I will definitely be installing an open-air rain shower in my home
Embrace the beauty of nature
  • It’s perfectly acceptable to organise souvenirs for everyone before the trip even begins.
Each one of us received the above at the start of the trip
  • Running has now been relegated as my 2nd favorite form of cardio…right after dancing

  • I am blessed with an amazing group of friends


How was your weekend?…Any ‘revelations’?

  1. Looks like bunches of fun- and let me tell you I ALWAYS make sure to bring my own hairdryer and straightener πŸ˜‰
    And I back-up your statement about happy hour fully!

  2. Looks like a fun weekend and I am glad that it did not rain!!! Yay for great weather. Dancing with friends is the best form of cardio πŸ™‚

    I am curious to know the dish with the french fries? I love goan cuisine, nothing can beat their fish fry and curries!!!!! I am hungry now.

  3. WOW, this looks like such an amazing trip, I wouldn’t be ready for Monday either. Mmm, and whatever is in that “greasy food” picture looks absolutely delicious. And dancing will always be the best option for a cardio workout! You and your ladies look like you had a great time.

  4. I want that shower!! That’s so cool!! I also have to agree, dancing is right up there next to running for me. One time I didn’t feel like going for a run, so my sister and I turned on some music videos and danced for two hours straight!! It was just so much fun, we couldn’t stop. I’m glad you had a great time!

  5. nice photos! nothing better than a girls weekend on the beach with lots of dancing, cocktails and chit chat. Goa is amazing, i will try to go there too before this year ends.

  7. These photos really make me smile! πŸ™‚ Was such a good weekend. Still thinking about the guacamole, and array of breakfast foods! Won’t ever be forgetting a hair dryer though next time!
