Good afternoon, Glennia, 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 it, 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 California, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Family Travel, Eating/Drinking the World, and plenty of others covering many topics and most destinations 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, your travels, and your writing.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, and readers. 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 have any way of covering Go-Lo in any of your outlets, that would of course be greatly appreciated, and we invite you to consider exchanging links and also blogging for us, as well (guidelines/rates available upon request).

Thanks for joining us; we wish you a great rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you...!
