>> <BR>
>> Day 2.: Leave for Goa. It's a 45 minute flight. Arrive Noon. Relax.<BR>
>> Welcome Dinner.<BR>
>> <BR>
>> Day 3: Goa : Get acquainted with the magic of the Island. (A Day<BR>
>> Long Excursion)<BR>
>> Inaugural Program.<BR>
>> <BR>
>> Day 4 : OSonOs - Day 1<BR>
>> <BR>
>> Day 5 : OSonOs - Day 2<BR>
>> <BR>
>> Day 6 : OSonOs - Day 3 & Concluding Session<BR>
>> <BR>
>> Day 7 : Check Out from Hotel -- late morning.<BR>
