add your suggestions to it people....i know it may sound like a very quick trip but am low on time plus i dont want to spend more time then required at one place as it really sends the accomodation costs high...and yeah m looking out for travelmates too...to share the costs and experiences of this trip...

Hey Mel.....good to hear back from you.....i know it sounds like a whirlwind trip but you see i am entering the clinical years of dentistry degree from now so wont get 10 days off for the next three and a half years at all...
one more reason to do this trip is that there is a business element attached to it..so i will be meeting people at places and at the same time touring too...
i would have loved to soak up idly for days but academic and financial constraints always bind me...
My tour focus will be Jaisalmer,Jodhpur and bikaner as i have never been there..and pretty excited about these places...
As far as sharing the expense, well accomodation is the only expense i suppose i will be sharing as rest other are individual expense but you see am being a bit stingy here - Money Saved is Money Earned 😉....
Most importantly, a travel buddy to share the experience is what matters most, as am not a loner kind of personality 😊...

Anyways...as of now am travelling to goa on 6th for three days and then to rajasthan...so yeah AM SUPER EXCITED 😊

regards
A V

I am in Goa, It is a place to relax...depends on what you want. Not sure how hot Northern India is and if that is a factor of you. Here it is very hot from late morning to evening, then cools off at night, and of course there is a the Arabian sea to swim in...choices, choices, follow your heart and you can't go wrong😊 Reply to this

...now tell me does it happen to everyone or is it just me who is indecisive...

I think, it happens to a lot of people. There are a bunch of discussions about it here on TravelBlog. People procrastinate not just about where they will go on their trip, but about giving up their jobs, or maybe they should spend the money the trip costs on something their family approves of more, or maybe they wont get a job when they get home, or their boyfriend, girlfriend might find somebody else while they are away...

I generally panic, in case I go on the trip and then discover it means nothing at all to me. I know that seems a bit weird, because it never turns out like that in reality. I love at least some aspect of everyplace I go. I dont think I have ever felt neutral about any place or country, as I fear I will before going there.

I am very apprehensive about my trip overland from Malaysia to accross Sumatra of this August. People say the bus journey is a nightmare. I am wondering if it is beyond what I can tolerate, but then I think it is only a ten hour bus trip, and then I start thinking again that it might turn out to be way more than 10 hours, if everything goes wrong along the way because of its reputation for being nightmarish. And, I will have a 10 year old with me demanding attention no matter how tired and uncomfortable I am.... As well as that, it is actually less expensive to fly, but I want to see the countryside. This reminds me, I will start a discussion soon to ask for tips on how to deal with the difficulties of this bus journey.

Where are you now Anuj? I presume, you decided to do the whirlwind journey? It would be interesting if you would tell us what you find are the pros and cons of a whirlwind trip, from what you are experiencing.
