About Our Family
Ours is a family of 3, Me (Hiren) and my wife (Dipti), aged 59 & 55 years and our daughter, Aruja, aged 21 years.

Lifestyle
We are absolute Travel Freaks and have been travelling extensively for leisure over the last 20 years. In fact, we start planning our next trip much before we have completed the current one! We travel at least once a year within our country and once outside.
Our memberships with RCI and Interval International have enabled us to get exchanges at good resorts all over the world. We have also met a couple of wonderful families through our membership with Intervac, three families in Poland and the most recent ones being a family from Calgary, Canada and San Francisco, USA......and hope to meet many more in the future!

VENDOME, France
FR101110Nous avons reçu la famille Goradia et vécu deux jours excellents, chaleureux et enrichissants malgré les problèmes de langue. Ce n'est jamais un obstacle. Se rencontrer au début du séjour, laisse toujours un meilleure impression.
Cependant, nous ne pouvons parler de notre voyage que nous ferons fin septembre. Nous attendons ce moment avec impatience et vous donnerons des nouvelles au retour.
La fille de 10ans nous a écrit un message: "J'aime Vendôme, merci oncle Jack, Annie et Nina(notre chienne). Je vous attends en Inde"
