Goa in 2 days time

Hiya folks,
Last-minute flight to Goa. Although I've already read lots of great contributions on this superb site, wondered if anyone could add anythig for a newbie in India e.g. things to do & where to stay in the first days.

Get off the plane as quickly as possible, move as fast as you can to the arrivals hall, Those who know what awaits will be running ,,,,,,,,
Reason: 200-300 people getting off a plane & heading towards immigration can take 'hours' to process. Worst nightmare is when 2/3 charters arrive within an hour or so.

P'haps I should add that when the plane parks you'll have a 400-500 yards walk/run to the terminal.

Hiya all!

Well i'm in Goa and would just like to say that it's brill.

I was wondering if it was going to be too hot but it's actually perfect for me. You can sleep at night without aircon (just as well coz I aint got it) and it's not unbearable during the day.

I went straight to Arambol in the north.It's very quite now (ideal for couples), and I'm heading off to Palolemm (in the south) in the morning.
