My son was barely five years of age and we were planning our first sojourn. As is expected, we wanted it to be a short trip, not very far [less journey time] so that it came easy to the child. One of my colleagues suggested \u201cChandipur.\u201d\u00a0 According to her the low waves of this Odisha (then Orissa) beach would be just perfect for my kid to explore and also gave us the name of the hotel where we could put up since she had already been there.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Now for the preparations \u2013 At that point of time Internet rather \u201cGoogle\u201d was not a very common phrase amongst the ordinary folk in this part of India. So, we all depended on the book \u201cBhraman Sangi\u201d and accounts of people who had already visited those shores.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Soon the train tickets were booked and arrangement for putting up at \u201cShantinivas\u201d made. Though we did not get the booking of the rooms we had yearned for as those were the closest to the shore, yet the room we booked had a common balcony wherefrom the sea would be visible. That was good enough for us.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The best parts I love about travel \u2013 planning, making the bookings and definitely packing. As you put those small things in place there is a sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu \u2013 it gives you the indications of the thrills and ecstasy that is to come your way soon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
