Flying from New Delhi and Landing in Dubai: Day 1

We went to Dubai in August 2016, it was an offseason but budget friendly too. When I started writing about Dubai, I didn’t come across even a single point I don’t want to mention here. We took our flight from Delhi airport early 8 in the morning, we reached Dubai at around 10:30 am (Dubai time) in the morning and reached our hotel Crowne Plaza Sheikh Zayed road but could not check in as check in timings are 2 pm. Meanwhile, we went outside the hotel to road Sheikh Zayed, which is full of skyscrapers and best restaurants in Dubai, and we went for a lunch and had delicious food. Here you will get the most excellent grub for your money and because this city hosts just about any citizen from any part of the world, you will most likely find some cuisine from your country there.
We came back to the hotel and checked in, in the evening we opted for formal clothes as we were going for cruise candlelight dinner. We went for Marina Dhow Cruise, it had an upper deck with open air sitting and lower deck with air conditioning, we chose lower deck as it was humid outside. This dinner includes cruising through the marina for 2 hours with welcome drinks and international buffet dinner. There was a live Arabic Tanoura dance show; I loved it completely as I have never seen this kind of dance before.

Weekend Trip to Goa from Bangalore

A trip to Goa from Bangalore:   Since August 2016 I have done trips to Himachal Pradesh (Dharamshala and Mcleodganj) and Rajasthan (Jaipur, Ajmer, and Pushkar). All these were a solo trip and it all started from New Delhi. I came to Bangalore in November 2016 and planned a trip to Goa with my friends to celebrate year-end 2016 and the New Year 2017. We planned with three friends (Swadhin, Saurabh and Me). I booked the hotel 15 days prior to the trip just to avoid the non-availability of the rooms in Goa as it was the year-end. After booking the hotel ticket, I started pushing my friends for the trip just to avoid any last time cancellation by them. One of my friend in Bangalore lives next to my house only, so to convince him was much easy. But another friend was in BTM and when the trip date started coming close he lost his phone, so it became very difficult for me to update anything regarding the trip. Somehow I used to update him on Facebook. Finally, the trip date came and we...
