Good morning, David, and a hearty 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, Eating/Drinking the World, Indiana, Florida, California, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, Washington State, Oregon, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, and various others covering many topics and most countries throughout 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, travels, and Palate Press (feel free to include its URL).

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!). And we would of course also be very grateful if you were to have occasion to cover Go-Lo on your site and consider an exchange of links.

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