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.
