Plan B

So here's the plan.

We have cancelled out train tickets from Goa to Mumbai. We decided against showing up in a train station that was riddled with bullets and grenades 4 days earlier. Who knows if it will even be running with any normalicy.

We have cancelled our Colaba area hotel....who knows what the safety or situation will be in 3 days??? CNN says there are still gunmen on the loose so we decided not to show our white faces in downtown Mumbai.

We have decided to stay an extra night in our resort, thankfully they are not fully booked.

On Dec 2 we have booked a ticket from Goa to Mumbai with Kingfisher Airways arriving in Mumbai at 17:20pm...We will camp out in the airport for 8 hours until Dec 3 at 2:45am when our flight leaves for London. The airport is running more or less as per normal today, domestic flights at any rate, and in 4 days we hope everything else will be up and running too...primarily our british airways fight home. Cross your fingers.

A summary of the air travel hell we will encounter flying home:
Arrive in Goa airport 14:00 fly to Mumbai arrive 17:20
8 hour layover
9.25hour flight to London
8 hour layover
9 hour flight home.

TOTAL TIME FROM ARRIVING IN GOA AIRPORT UNTIL ARRIVING IN CALGARY AIRPORT : 50 HOURS
Ughhhhh....

We are really dissapointed that we won't be able to see Mumbai. What can you do though? At this point we just want to get out of here as safely as possible.

Until then: we keep an eye on the news, try to sun ourselves without thinking too much about the trip into Mumbai and enjoy the beautiful weather!
