Andamans, here I come!

So finally I do get the opportunity to travel the Andaman and Nicobar islands albeit just for a week. It didn't take me too long to decide on a place to travel to for a short trip.

 I had just decided that day that I would be taking a week long trip to some part of India but I didn't know where. Later that night, we met for a family dinner and my cousin Daniel shows me photos of his just concluded trip to the islands and I just knew it at that moment that that's where I was going to head to.

I had always fancied travelling the islands from a young age. I recall that in the 8th grade I had made the Goa Under 14 state football team and the tournament was to take place at Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar islands. However, shortly before we were to leave, we received the news that the trip was cancelled. What a bummer!

However, I do believe that everything happens for the best and had that trip happened, I wouldn't have decided to go to the islands now, and see and travel the islands with a mature mind and with freedom!

Still a month and a half to go before I do leave for the islands but the excitement is already building up. I can't wait to get back on the road!
