After doing it for more than five months, being sick for what seemed like the millionth time, being cramped into a dorm room in blistering heat with no air-conditioning, fearing for my life inContinue reading “10 Ways to Kick Travel Fatigue’s Ass”

Drink your water … and other tips to survive a Vegas Vacation
Editors Note: This post was not intended for my site. I wrote it because I accepted a bid on TextBrokers.com, a site which unites writers with those who need writing. I submitted it, was paid for it, and then saw someone else had actually taken credit for my words. Now, I am fine with ghostContinue reading “Drink your water … and other tips to survive a Vegas Vacation”
The Bacon Bloody Mary Love Letter
Dear Bacon Bloody Mary, I had never fathomed such a lovely start to a morning until a recent and gorgeous July Sunday in Napa Valley. “Here,” Kristin had said when we discussed our post-winery breakfast between she, Abby and I. “The Boon Fly Cafe.” She read some reviews, and the three of us were offContinue reading “The Bacon Bloody Mary Love Letter”
Photo Essay: Napa Valley
This wasn’t really one of those take-heaps-and-heaps-of-photos-trips (and no, it’s not because I was all glassy-eyed drunky in Napa … cause I wasn’t … for realsies).

InContinue reading “Napa, wine and girlfriends”
A Virgin America Virgin
I could see the purple glow before I even got close to the door of the plane. Oh, sweet Virgin America airplane. How I have waited for you. Slowly, slowly, we crawled in our line to the cabin door. Sparkles!! The exterior of the airplane is glittery white! I crossed into the cabin, surveying theContinue reading “A Virgin America Virgin”
I need an airplane ride
After my trip in May to Maryland, I had convinced myself I needed one more visit to see my family and friends before Thanksgiving. May to late November was simply too long to go without a Family Fix. I hemmed and hawed for a bit, deciding dates, asking work if I could have a quickContinue reading “I need an airplane ride”
Hello, California. You are a lovely neighbor.
I have lived in Las Vegas for basically five years. Sure, I had that year in Atlanta I like to refer to as the Catalyst for the Rest of my Life. And my career-break/adventure through Europe and Africa. But, basically, the place I have called home since 2005 is Las Vegas. You’d think living inContinue reading “Hello, California. You are a lovely neighbor.”

Guest Post: Being a hero in Brazil
This is a guest post by Jason Bastanky. Have a story you’d like to share? E-mail me, dtravelsround [at] gmail [dot]com. If traveling has taught me anything, it’s that heroes are made, not born.
