Here is the news:- (Reuters) - Heavy snow caused havoc across Britain on
Thursday, keeping airports closed for a second day, leaving travellers
stranded and forcing thousands of schools to close.

Heavy snow could not keep a few Merton Seniors (Over 50's) from visiting the
Wimbledon Theatre to see 'Annie'  Here is a song from the show

Cool! So what beef do we have about the environmental impact about the
resource-gobbling, garbage-generating luxury hotels along the coast?

On an even more serious note, the problems that Goa suffers from -- in
terms of information gaps, a dysfunctional transport system (including
to the airport), and overall badly organised systems -- is obviously
extracting a huge price. FN

FN, I don't have any updates from the airport but I do have an update from 
Mervyn. He sent me an email from the hotel he is being put up at. Apparently he 
loves it and wouldn't mind being delayed for a while longer !! So guess Goa 
does 
know a thing or two about hospitality and tourism :-)

take care,

[Goanet] Snow, airports, flights...

Because of the snow in London, the airports were closed yesterday, and
some flying back home had uncertain moments over whether their flights
would take off or not. Goanetter Wilfred Maciel was around, and
apparently hit by a 24-hour delay. The flight was to have left this
morning (Dec 2) at dawn, but the earlier day's flight had not yet left
London. Any updates on the flights situation, please share it here. FN

PS: Stuck holidayers were accomodated at a hotel in South Goa, but the
local agents for one of the charter companies was quite abrupt and
said it was not their duty to inform guests about such delays. Given
Goa's poor transport facilities to Dabolim airport, one could only
imagine what a hassle this could result in.
