Re: South Meets West - Inter Region Meet
Sethu,
Really I was searching a lot these days for destination, but it is a difficulty job to find one which is eqally close to everybody
Goa is a destination easy for Bangalore,Mumbai,Pune people, Little bit far for Hyderabad( it may be OK as you do not find more members active from here), but long for Chennai,Kochi,Trivandrum people. If this should be the destination then, all these three areas members have to take a break some where and proceed. Chennai people can always take a break at Bangalore and join together with Bangalore friends.
In other possibility some place in and around Bangalore towards probably Mumbai Highway, so that it becomes easy for chennai,Kochi,Trivandrum,Hyderabad and even for Pune guys some extent and only Mumbai people have to go to Pune and take a break and join with them !!
Duration, all in all it looks October is the right time weather conditions wise and in case of Goa, it will be still off season hence everything will be in control. If it has to be with some families around then in our region October will have holidays for Dussera(Oct'24th) starting from some where around 15/16th October. So in any angle this should be the right time. After October it is really gets crowded in Goa till Jan 1st week. I have seen all the months in Goa during a year !! as I traveled to Goa every month used to stay for 3 days from 2001 to 2003 !!
Duration of stay apart from travel should be max.2 days, because to & fro will at least takes 2 days minimum and for unforeseen issues one more day as buffer. So 5 days is OK max as it is very difficult to get out of the office more than that for me and I hope for most of the people.
So with the above, try and add from your side and we need to put up a poll for places and dates soon !!
I see this is moving bit slow, there are not much comments yet from West friends
