Muy buenas tardes, Ivar, and a hearty welcome to our site! It's great to have you with us -- and we think you'll find it productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.

To get the most out of us, 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 Spain, Travel Agents, Tour Operators/Suppliers, Spiritual Journeys, Solo Travel, our Italian and Spanish language/culture club, 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, the Camino de Santiago, and your various enterprises.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your English-speaking, travel-interested friends, family, associates, and 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!).

Many thanks for joining us, Ivar; we wish you an outstanding rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you...!
