Good afternoon, Frances, and welcome to go-lo! It's wonderful to have a journalist of your experience with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable. You may want to take a few minutes to join several more of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, including Vietnam, Iceland, Germany, Massachusetts, and the various other groups devoted to Europeans countries and U.S. states.

And if you would, please be so kind to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, and colleagues. We wish you a great rest of the summer, and look forward to hearing more from you!
