New Delhi, Oct. 26 -- Who are these people who plan vacations months ahead, you wonder, as you recover from the never ending crazy week at work that has lasted for months - exhilarating though it has been. But when a little ping on your calendar reminds you that your earned holidays must be utilised, you begin to wonder if you can explore something more than New York, London or even Goa which become tourist traps at Christmas, no matter how much of a fairy tale setting both cities become and you hate bumping into the same city folk in a beach shack in Goa (waddling about in 'Goa' clothes!). I do admit that New York is irresistible, but there's something inside that whispers, 'Explore!'

Savour pho once and you will become a fan for life. ...
