The faithful readers of Count Down To India have certainly noticed a subtle, but definitive change to our endearing little page…the name. You will now find us at www.countdowntothenextplace.blogspot.com. The title of the page is also the same (minus the blogspot part).
At this moment, I know what you’re thinking. You are saying to yourself, wow, what a long title!? Am I right? Yep, it is quite a mouth full, but it says just what it should say. As Count Down To India eased to a triumphant end, I realized I wanted to not only chronicle my journey of a life time to India, but every other voyage (big or small) from here on out. This decision came from the fact that although Count Down was intended to be a small little blog for family and friends to come along on our journey with us, it actually became much more. Many readers actually gleaned something from the information shared right here on this page. With that being said, I am pleased to announce that Count Down is back and it’s here to stay!
Count Down To India will live on as the previous posts will not be deleted, but will remain for future reading enjoyment. However, we are moving forward to our next adventure and I hope you enjoy it as much as you did our adventure to India.
SIDE BAR: Before we leave India all together, I just have to share one interesting nugget, I just could not help but note. My husband ran across it as he browsed the entertainment news circuit. Mega star, Tom Cruise, was recently in Mumbai, India while premiering his new block buster hit Mission Impossible; Ghost Protocol:
While there, Cruise said: “When we were at the Taj Mahal in Agra, I told him, you have to pinch me. I can't believe I am here. The atmosphere, the people are very nice here. I'm happy with the love and appreciation from my fans. India is an amazing place. I will definitely love to come again." He went on to say with dreamy innocence, “I wanted to come to India all my life". Tom’s dream came true and so did ours.

To know that I have experienced the magic and wonder of a land that even a world renowned talent like Tom Cruise has dreamed of all of his life, just reinforces just how special our experience really was. It is one that will not soon be forgotten.
Alas, we must move on. Maybe one day our travels will take us back to the mystical land of India. But for now, we will begin another count down…
