Why follow a compass that's lost? The Lost Compass is for people who can't stop travelling, who always seek out the next destination. It's for those who'd rather take a backroad than the Interstate; who wonder what happens when you get off the beaten path and look up an odd nook or cranny. It's about finding the little gems, wherever they may be hidden. It is for those who embrace travel as an experience - not stopping just at a tourist trap, but finding a local cafe, bookstore, or dive bar to stop and talk to the people who make up the town. What happens when the compass' needle spins off you the beaten path? Keep reading to find out.

Sorry for the extended absence

My dear readers -

I'm sorry for the lack of posting.  I was having a LOT of fun learning how to be a blogger, finding my voice, and having a new excuse to travel.  Then, within the space of four weeks, I lost my day job, found out I was pregnant with our first child, said my final farewells to my grandmother, hosted my mom at my house for nearly a month, said goodbye to my husband for a few months, found a new part-time job as a substitute teacher, and had to let life settle down around me again.  Life, needless to say, has been hectic.  Unfortunately, because this was such a new project, it was the first and easiest thing to set aside until such time I could dust it off, shine it up, and focus on it again.

Well, hurrah hooray!  I think I've found my equilibrium.  Or, at least, things have settled enough that I can enjoy a fun summer of blogging before my latest creation comes into existence, and my life role changes from wife to wife and mother.  I hope this blog will change a bit, too.  My focus when I started was twofold: find fun day trips and weekend trips from my home in North Carolina with the ultimate goal of creating a local travel book for the Fort Bragg area; and, give my friends who go TDY (tour of duty) within the military community something of a guide for different locations.  Now I also hope to either include or spin-off a travelling with kid blog.  I PROMISE that Lost Compass WON'T turn into a Mommy-blog (I'll create another blog for the family updates), but I hope to post what I learn about travelling while pregnant and with kids... because to my great surprise, it has changed a few things.

So, thanks to all my loyal readers for sticking with me.  I'm sorry I've been silent for so long.  I have lots of articles in the works covering places from Orlando, to Miami, to Atlanta, and more!  Stay tuned, and I'll get those out soon!  But first, I'm at this glorious conference called TBEX '12 in absolutely stunning Keystone, CO for the weekend.  The pain I must suffer for you, Gentle Readers...  the pain.

Please, feel free to leave me your own two cents! I adore feedback! However, anything spam, inflammatory, or ignorant will be deleted. Those of us from the USA had to take English from the time we were kids, so please don't slaughter it too badly!
