First things first

My name is actually Reymond Pagé, but that's an impossible search request, so we will go with Reymond Page for now. It's not like it's anything new, I've been doing that all my life, smoothing over the French heritage to make things easier for everyone, especially when it comes to phone conversations. Besides, people have a hard enough time with the 'e' in Reymond, I figured I'd just cut everyone a break.
So on to more important things. What, you've written a book?
Why yes, I have, but if you're not into travel, humour, frustration, or wonder, you probably won't really enjoy it. If you ever thought to yourself, "I'm so happy this travel book doesn't have any pictures in it. That would just ruin the mood." then you might as well move on, because this book is crammed full of photographs. And artwork. And anything else I could find lying around. Or is that laying around?
That's maybe another warning, if you're looking for grammatically perfect (or is that perfectly grammatical) English writing, this may be your only chance to just walk on by.
Never mind. Disregard everything I just wrote.
The Great Year - India Edition is a wonderfully honest read, about my family's seventy six days in India. This was part of a larger, two hundred and seventy five day trip around the world with my wife and ten and twelve year old children. As such, I brought one hundred and thirty-nine days of baggage with me into India, and despite having spent only seventy-six days there, I probably left with an additional two hundred. All that being said, of the eleven countries visited on that trip, India would be the first place to which I would go back.
This is a different kind of love story.
