I am travelling with my wife and son. I have travelled through southeast asia and other third world regions. i love the culture , the food, and the lifestyle. I am looking to travel safely through Goa and the states below and possibly go to the lakshadweep islands . if you have any info on this area please help.


Answer
You can travel by air, road or rail.

There are plenty of airlines doing these routes now and bookings need to be done well in advance to avoid any holiday rush.

Road is another good way to travel (car or bus). There are a lot of privately run Volvo luxury buses which are very comfortable.

Railways is another option and you can travel by the Konkan railway line.

There is no catamaran service at present doing the Bombay - Goa route but some cruise lines offer 15 day packages or shorter (to and fro) on the routes ....departure Bombay or Goa .....and cruise down to the Lakshadweep islands with halts on the way.

If you are halting in Goa and want more info on this state you can contact me.....

Where can I go in San Diego for a day without a car?

Q. I'm 23 and will be flying to San Diego for a day with my younger sister, and rental car companies don't rent to people under 25. So I was wondering which places I can visit from the airport and have time to make it back for my flight. I plan to fly in on early saturday morning/ friday night, and stay till saturday evening when I get my flight back.
I have no family or friends there so I am pretty much looking for stuff to do around the area and places that wont take too long to travel by public transport.
I want to do some photography there so where are the best places?
Are there groups or organisations that would be able to take us around?
And renting a bike would be too tiring.

This is a serious question. Please do not ask "why would you go only for a day?"


Answer
Take the 10 minute bus trip (route 992) from the airport terminal to the Santa Fe Depot train station. From there you can catch the trolley which takes you close to a lot of tourist sites.

Some must see attractions are the world famous Zoo, Sea World, and Balboa Park. Known as the "Smithsonian of the West" Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the country. You can get a park passport which allows you entry to a dozen museums as well as the zoo.

Other attractions in the park are the Air and Space Museum, Ruben H. Fleet Science Center, the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Man, the Automotive Museum, the Old Globe Theatre, the Hall of Champions, the Botanical Gardens, and the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world (free concerts on Sunday).

Take the trolley from Downtown to Old Town. There is a state park there that recreates life in the Mexican and early American periods of 1821 to 1872.

The USS Midway is an aircraft carrier turned into a museum

The Maritime Museum offers a hands-on look at San Diego's days as a bustling seaport. You can tour the Star of India, the world's oldest active merchant sailing ship.

Seaport Village is on the harbor and has some interesting shops as well as a great view of the ships on the harbor. Kansas City Barbeque is located at the Seaport Village trolley stop. Best BBQ in town, inexpensive, and it's where they filmed the bar scene in Top Gun. Plenty of interesting memorabilia on the walls and it also has outside dining.

For nightlife, the Gaslamp Quarter offers dining, drinking and dancing. It's also the home of Petco Park and the San Diego Padres major league baseball team.
