wile e coyote Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well hopefully going to goa next sat for 2 weeks (been about 6 times) but after the last few weeks im not sure i should risk it !!! Firstly booked flights bargain price and sent off passports for visas We then got a email telling us the company we booked flights with gone bust. Luckly payed by card so rebooked and claiming back off card company We then get passports back without visas saying photos not right ! all the years before we sent passport size photos but now they need to be 2" sq, so resent them. I then get a phone call telling me they cant give me a visa as my passport will run out before visa runs out. so they will send it back to me, this arived this monday Now this has all happend since jan so now need new passport and visa So mandy (wife) goes to london on tuesday night to be at passport office first thing wed and then go to india house in the after noon for visa Passport fine go to india house to find closed due to indian holiday !! So she stays another night to go first thing this morning to find will not except it hand written and must be done on line !! So she finds a libary fills in form to then find the libary having problems with there printer. Finaly gets it to them and told should be with us on wed next week Now is somebody telling me not to go and should i make a will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probrox Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Where abouts are you going? I'm off to Baga on the 4th March. We only booked on Sunday and sent everything off for the visa's on Monday. I'm bricking it in case we don't get them back in time. We were hoping things were going to be easier with the visa's now that you don't have to go to London to get them, but it's probably more hassle than it was before.

probrox Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 spain expensive we can eat and drink for about £5 in goa baga is north goa very busy we are in south alot quiter for us oldies We were planning to go to South Goa this time but got too good a deal to Baga. We'll probably do what we did last time and stay in the beach huts in the South for a couple of days. That is of course, assuming our Passports come back in time.

TTRickeh Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 At least you're here when you're having these problems. My mate recently got married so booked for him and his wife to go to Florida. They managed to get to America for their connecting flight to Florida until they said to his wife you can't fly because it was booked under your married name and not your maiden (passport) name? So she had to book new flights on a different flight, as none were left on the connecting flight, in the name on her passport whilst my mate caught the connecting flight off to Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think you need to reconsider? If you don't die on the plane, in a flood or eathquake, you are guaranteed to get "Calcutta splutter" or "Bombay spray" eating all that cheap unwashed food..!! Stay here, it's great..!! H.

Brazil Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Why would you want to go on holiday to the same place for the 7th time? Do you have family there? If not it just seems silly to not take the opportunity to explore the rest of the world...! Costa Rica, Greece, Bali, Thailand, Morroco, Canada, Mexico...! so many awesome places worth visiting...!
