Goa...Can I 'GOA' back?

What a cool town...I could go on and on, but I'm really behind on posting and short on time since I'm trying to wrap things up before I leave, so I'm going to keep this short:

Top 10 (+1) reasons I want to go back to GOA:
1) It's a beach bum town - tons of hippies who never left. Great people watching.
2) The Indian Ocean felt like bath water. It sounds gross, but it was still fun to play in.
3) You can rent scooters and actually drive in India! I didn't drive, and I still had a blast. Reid rented a scooter and Greg a motorcycle. I was Greg's +1.
4) I got a nice tan in 1 day!
5) The shopping is outrageous. Great bargaining opportunities and beautiful handmade jewelery.
6) The restaurants are on the beach. Literally. We ate dinner both nights with our feet buried in the sand.
7) Delicious seafood. I think we ate calamari in every way it can possibly be prepared.
8) $2.60 Pina Coladas...keep 'em coming.
9) Veer - oh Veer. People are generally laid back and super friendly, hence our new friend Veer (who loved Greg's eyes). Locals creeped up on us started taking snaps of us without permission, so I insisted on taking pics with them too! They were so excited that we wanted to take pics with them that they cheered as they walked away.
10) Bollywood dancing at Titos
The last reason I want to go back to Goa is so that I can bring Mike...I know he would love it there.
