I'm not sure if I'm looking at the same place as you, but the one I saw looked wonderful. The huts had private plunge pools and a private Jacuzzi. The nature activities in that area look really interesting, too.

I looked it up and it the recipe looks like a funnel cake with a syrup glaze. They say that, traditionally, the batter is fermented for up to 24 hours and that causes it to take on a bit of a sour taste, so the finished product is sweet and sour.

I have to second this thought. I can't even bring myself to try cricket flour, even though it's getting a lot of raves as a good source of protein. Something made with red ants would be out of the question.

An Indian woman may be able to better convey to a guy what you are looking for. It's kind of sad that the word "date" has come to mean so many different things to people. Gina probably just wants a guy to treat her like they're on a date, getting to know each other and curious to see if there is...

I had never seen a hotel room with three beds until I traveled to south Florida and actually needed to look for one. Sure enough, they were pretty easy to find! Outside of that region, though, I haven't seen it. I'm sure you could get a room with two queen beds and either a pull-out couch or a...

I love rajma regardless of where it originated, but I'm curious to know where samosas started. I've been making them for years at home and I always thought they were Indian.

It does depend on personal preferences. I usually budget $300 to $400 USD per day when I travel anywhere. It covers most things I want to do and if I have any left at the end of the vacation, it's money I put toward the next trip.

I agree with the others that said you'll probably be able to get the basics at the hotel. Personally, I travel with everything right down to soap because I am a very brand-specific woman.

I love to window shop when I'm traveling. We do our fair share of buying, but I can't take home everything I'd like to, so window shopping is the next best thing.

I usually skip dessert and opt for a good liqueur instead. I had a feeling that it wouldn't be hard to find at larger restaurants and hotels, but it's good to know that they may not be available at smaller places.

I don't know for sure, but the ones that are coming to mind right now are typhoid and encephalitis. I would think any travel agent or a passport office would be a good source to confirm this, though.

Personally, I do my pets a favor and leave them home. They only travel with us when they absolutely have to and I honestly wouldn't want to headache o having them on an international trip with me.

I have seen a bunch of information about touring waterfalls, but I haven't come across anything about taking a boat tour to see them. Does it look something like the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls?

This is an interesting idea and it's making me wonder if I should look into doing something like this. It sounds like a great way to really immerse yourself in a foreign country for a while.

I think deewanna has the right idea. It's not like packing a bikini takes up a ton of space, so bring it with you, but also pack an alternative just in case. I think you'll be fine at Goa, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for anything.
