Thekkaddy  - Carmelia Haven Resort

Noticed that our accommodation upgrade from deluxe room to treehouse is not mentioned in the confirmation sent by Kapil....

These pictures are of the actual treehouse we have booked.

As you can see, this looks pretty special.

COST???

$142(AUD) inclusive of all our meals
Well worth the upgrade for the three of us!

Visa successfully picked up from Brisbane....what a relief!
A little bit of a "mug" shot I'm afraid....

Hooray!

Studio room is confirmed with a booking number from The Cag Hotel.
That's everything confirmed!

Now,

Time to create the packing list!

Plane tickets, seat numbers and package details all confirmed.

Attempt No 2 to organise a booking in The Cag Hotel Coimbatore on the 18 & 19th January 2012.
first time they sent me an email with the wrong dates???

Trying again tonight....looking to book one of their Studio or Suite Rooms for the three of us @ 6400INR or $120 per night.....hoping they will answer for the right dates this time.
