Usually the trips we plan gets finalized at the last moment - making all the bookings a day or two before. But, For this trip we just changed the usual way. This was a well-planned one.

Hello World

I had heard about blogs few years back. Since then I wanted to write my blog. But, for some reasons like, what to write, how to write etc, always stopped me. Finalizing an address for the blog is most depressing thing. Address of your choice will be unavailable and to think of a name, which would be available will take a lot of time. " Sorry, this blog address is not available " will vanish your enthusiasm/excitement for blogging, unless you come up with a really unique and out-of-box kind of word/words.
