Travel year - 2008

It was last year that we(soo and me) decided 2008 would be a travel year. And we accomplished that to some extend.. :)

Everything started with a wedding anniversary celebration at Sahib Sindh Sultan..



Followed by a small Nandi hills trip.



The actual wedding anniversary celebration was next. At Ooty. 3 days trip, by car. We decided to skip the usual stuff (like botanical garden...) and explore places like emerald lake & the heritage toy train to Coonoor.




Next in line was a big one. End of March it was.. A 5 days trip to Singapore. First international vacation.. :)


April was somewhat dull compared to March.. Just went to Athirappilly from home.. Family trip. Seen this place many times.



Came May and came two trips.. One local and one interstate.. :)
We went to Kannur for Binoy's bro's marriage. Thalassery and nearby areas. One surprise was a parasailing event at Muzhuppilangad beach.. Flew parachute for the 1st time.



June was time for an overseas trip.. official though.. unlucky Soo couldn't get a taste of it..



So when I came back, the 1st thing we did was to go to Wayanad. 2 days trip. Nice place and nice (rainy) weather.



A trip to the jungle (lodges and resorts) at Kabini in July. A team outing. One more trip in the same month to Pune.. This was for a recruitment program.. :)) Again Soo wasn't there.



End of July we went to Mattanchery - Jews' town and nearby areas. Wasn't a planned trip.. On the way planning while roaming around EKM.


Yet another Nandi hills trip in August.. Took achan, amma, sree there..


It was September and we had a long pending trip to Kolhapur. Uncle visit, but the place was new as well.


To Nelliyampathy in October.



November was a busy month with KK's marriage & Deepa's marriage. No time for trips other than those to Angamaly & Plkd.



And concluded with a grand vacation in Rajastan.



What was missed? We had a plan to go to Gokarna. That didn't work out.. Hoping to cover that next year.. bon voyage... :)
