Good afternoon, Barbara, 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.

To get the most out of the site, you may want to take a few minutes to join several of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Media Only, Iowa, Eating/Drinking the World, Agritourism, Adventure Travel, Hotels/Motels/B&Bs/Inns, and various others covering many topics, all U.S. states, and most destinations throughout the world.

FYI, you may on your profile add a box containing text, photos, and even videos about yourself, your interests, your outlets, and books (if you'll send us your book titles, we can feature them both in our Book Club group and in our online shop).

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, and colleagues. For example, it's fast and easy to use our "INVITE" function above left on the navigation bar to enter e-mails (even your whole list at once!). If you can include any coverage in your outlets, that would of course be marvelous, as well.

We wish you a great rest of the summer, best of luck in 2009 and beyond, and look forward to hearing more from you... !
