Time for LTC and vacation trips.

Hello Friends,

yesterday over tea we had discussion and some of you wanted info on what are the best guys who could give good time.

The first one which i suggest you which is very good is the kerala package.
It is 6N/7d and it costs 13,999/- per person. it includes return airfare, 3 star stay, meals, sight seeing, transfers etc. It can be contacted on 09222213284.

Exotic locations and really worth to go with your families during christmas time when official pressure is less.

You can use your LTC also as it would be a great thing.

If you are looking going even down south this is good as IBM friends have gone recently.
