One fine morning, when I was at my cousin's place, we were discussing about his future plans in education. Some how, we deviated from the topic and started speaking about International schools located in Hill Stations. I seized the opportunity to speak to him as he always keeps himself occupied with books, games or television. He reminded me of seeing a school in Munnar (hill station in Kerala) once when we were on a family tour.
This journey back to the memories made us realise how time flew past and we grew up and apart making our lives busy with career and education. He said, "Hey,Why don't we find out some time and go on a family trip like how we used to go when we were kids?" "Great idea bro. Let's do it!" was my instant reaction. After a huge struggle to convince our family members, we started listing out the places which we have not yet visited.
"Rajasthan, North East, Orissa... What do you think would be best for a family trip?", I asked him excitedly like how a little girl who had seen a chocolate factory would react! "Why are you thinking of going to other parts of India when you have not finished visiting the entire Kerala? Let's plan to go somewhere in Kerala..What about Vagamon? I have never been there!"he exclaimed by looking onto the computer screen. "It's another hill station just like Munnar.. What's so special in Vagamon? " I asked him with a drooping face. "Munnar is full of tea estates and other scenaries while in Vagamon there is forest safari, pine forests and much more.. See this website idiot!"ordered my 'brother' with a look of pity in his eyes. I felt as if he was Google who knew everything and myself as a kid who is just learning how to operate computers.
"Okay.. Fine.." I took a glance through the website. It was this website:
https://www.keralatourism.org/destination/vagamon-idukki/324
"Wow, there is much more to explore there than what I had thought!" My eyes glowed up like that of an owl. We did the rest of the research on accomodation, travel and so on. A trip with our family...After a long time... Both of us were excited and were looking forward to it.
By the time we realised, we were travelling to Vagamon. My Younger cousin was the most excited among us. She started singing songs and was curious to know what fun we were planning. She was a bit mad too as we were unable to include her in our planning. "Winter Vale" was the name of the resort where we had stayed. We stayed in two cottages.

The view on the way to the resort itself was mesmerising. It was noon by the time we reached there and we were dying of hunger! We had asked the resort management to keep the food ready. We moved our luggage to respective cottages.
