life’s a beach

Specifically, this one:

Agonda Beach

reached after a long (about 24 hours all told) but in the end fairly straightforward trip, made that little bit more bearable by being randomly upgraded to business class for the London-Mumbai leg. Champagne before take-off, proper food, impeccable service and one’s own private cubicle with lie-flat bed. A very pleasant way to begin things. Thank you British Airways.

Right, I’m Goan

12 01 2010

It’s about an hour and a half before I step out of the door and start the long trek to Agonda Beach via Heathrow, Mumbai and Goa. It’s safe to say I’m scared out of my tiny little mind a little nervous. But I have good friends and a bed waiting for me at the other end, so all that remains is to get there.

Those of you that know me know that what I need right now is a good break, a chance to relax properly away from here and everything that’s gone on recently. I should say a big thank you to all those lovely people who’ve helped keep me together in body and soul over the past while – you know who you are. I hope that this trip will provide me with a decent chance at recuperation and to take a couple of steps forward. I will, at least, get away from all this damned snow.

I’ll be in touch. But for now, my pretties, I must fly :)
