Good morning, Mary, and welcome to go-lo! It's wonderful to have you with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.

You may want to consider taking a few minutes to join several of our many groups besides Italy which you might find of particular interest, including Texas, Great Britain, Eating/Drinking the World, and various others covering myriad topics as well as destinations in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and more.

FYI, you may also add an info box to your profile that includes text, photos, and even video about yourself and your interests.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, and colleagues; it's very easy to invite them directly by entering their e-mails (or even your entire e-mail address book) via the "Invite" function on the navigation bar above left.

Thanks, we wish you a great rest of the summer, and look forward to hearing more from you!
