Good morning, Jenny, and a hearty welcome to Tripatini! It's so 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 our site, you may want to take a few minutes to join several of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Travel Agents, Airfares/Air Travel, Business Travel, Texas, Hawaii, South Africa, Cruising, Hotels/Motels, our Italian 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, and your agency (feel free to name the agency and provide a URL, if any).

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your 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, Jenny; we wish you an outstanding rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you...!
