As noted in an earlier post, I'm off to Lisbon tomorrow. I may or may not take my laptop with me, may or may not have internet access in my room (officially, it's available, but it might not work, or there might be a surcharge that I won't want to pay), and may or may not be bothered to write entries. So, if you don't hear from me in the meantime, feel free to hijack the blog via the 'comments' mechanism.
When I get back, I promise not to post any holiday snaps, as I still don't own a camera. Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, I haven't assigned a guest blogger - if you really need a blogging fix over the next week, may I suggest Molly's blog, which updates regularly, even if she occasionally spells 'pique' incorrectly. (Molly, I have no alternate blog to recommend to you. You'll just have to channel the extra time available into inventing new and exciting martini recipes. Hopefully, that will dull the pain a little.)

You are so right, I did not spell pique correctly, but I am glad you read my posts! Good job Chris didn't read it, he would have left a comment telling me off!!! I have lived in America too long and have gotten lazy about my proper English words!!
Have fun in Lisbon, drink too much, chase girls too much, and over indulge too much!
Over indulge too much - aah! I think my head is going to explode.
On the other hand, taking over blogs via the comments ... I'm practically a seasoned veteran of that!
So what do you intend to do in his absence captain ric?

I don't know yet. I'm willing to take suggestions though. Anyone?
As one of my brothers once said - "bunch of apathetic pansies".
I'm gonna have a sing-song. Feel free to join in.
Now what to sing ...
Three blind mice,
three blind mice,
...
Well done, Captain, you've once again demonstrated the full extent of your inspirational presence.
Also, I'm back!
see how they run,
see how they run ...
Goa – A Great Place to visit in India
Goa Holiday Packages, Goa tourism, Goa Tours India, Travel Goa
A Great Paradise for tourists, Goa is located on the west coast of India in the coastal belt known as Konkan. The magnificent natural beauty and architectural splendors of its temples, churches and old houses have made Goa a firm favourite with travellers around the world.
Goa was liberated by the Indian army from the Portuguese colonization on December 19, 1961 and became a union territory with enclaves of Daman and Diu. On 30 May 1987 Goa was granted statehood and became the 25th state of the Republic of India. Having been the meeting point of races, religions and cultures of east and the west over the centuries, Goa has a lifestyle multi-hued and distinctive very different from the rest of India.
The warm and tolerant nature of the Goans allows them to celebrate and appreciate the various religious festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Christmas, Easter and identification with equal enthusiasm. The state of Goa maharashtra frames on the north, the state of Karnataka on the south and east. The vast expanse of the Arabian Sea on the western forms the magnificent coastline for which Goa is simply famous. Panaji (Panjim) is the state capital located on the banks of the river and the Mandovi Vasco, Margao, Mapusa and Ponda are the other main towns.
A type bus network between states and one state to another also plays an important role in getting locals and visitors similar in and around Goa.
The staple food in Goa is fish and rice, among Hindus and Catholics. Unlike the Christian food of the Hindu Goan food is not strongly influenced by the Portuguese cuisine. Since the arrival of hippies in the'60s, Goa was an important destination on the itinerary of international tourists and domestic. The tourist season in Goa begins in September and continues through early - walking. The weather in these months is usually dry and pleasantly fresh. Then the weather becomes warm in around May and late June, Goa receives the full blast of the Indian monsoon with sudden floods and tropical storms. However it is also during the monsoon that Goa is probably at its most beautiful, with greenery growing all around.
