Good morning, Chris, and welcome to Go-Lo! It's great 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 other of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Media Only, Business Travel, Canada, Mexico, California, Eating/Drinking the World, our Spanish language/culture club, and various others covering many topics and most countries throughout the Americas and the world.

FYI, on your profile you'll see a blue bar marked "Text Box," which you can turn into a box containing not just text but also photos and even videos about yourself, your interests, and your writing.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, and/or clients. 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!). We would of course love if you have the opportunity to cover Go-Lo in any of your outlets, and let us know, too, if you'd like to guest-blog for us.

We wish you a great rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you...!
