What now?

The End.

Well … not really The End. More like The Beginning of the Next Chapter.

Where am I now? I am in Las Vegas. Working for a restaurant group as the director of communications. What does that mean? I do a lot of writing, pitching, social networking and eating. I do so, so much eating, it isn’t even funny.

The cats are here — both of them (and a post will follow on how to get your pets from Point A to Point B). I am totally moved in, minus the stuff I need an extra pair of arms to do, like hang pictures. I have my car. I have my friends. I have a smile pretty much permanently planted on my face.

Yes, I miss traveling. Terribly. There isn’t a week that goes by where I don’t find my mind drifting back to the past year of my life. But, I enjoy being in Las Vegas. Having my bed. My furniture. My pets. My closet.

Would  I do it all over again? You betcha.

I’ve shared a lot in the past year plus of my life with the Web — my thoughts, my feelings, my travels. And now, it’s time to move on to uncharted blogging territory here on The Adventures of D: Post-Travel.

Well … not really Post-Travel. I mean, I’m not going to really write about my life in Las Vegas (unless ya’ll really want me to, and then my answer is maybe). But, I am going to write more about traveling. Just a bit different.

So, what can you expect from The Adventures of D now that I am leading a stationary (for the most part) life? Fortunately, not all of my readers are stationary. Yup, there are going to be some guest blog posts on here. (If you want to contriubte, chuck an e-mail — dtravelsround@gmail.com – my way). I’m also going to share with you my Lessons Learned. And updates. And tips. And photo essays. And some lists.

And some sponsored blog posts.

Yes, I said it. Sponsored blog posts. It’s a necessary evil for me right now. But, I promise the posts are actually interesting and good reads.

I am always open to suggestions, insight, meet-ups, Tweet Ups, couch surfers, travel buddies … my door is open.

In the meantime, in between time, safe travels. And, remember to LIVE.

    It’s just the beginning, can’t wait to hear about your life in Las Vegas – which is the craziest culture ever.
