Good morning, Margie, 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 New York State, Eating/Drinking the World, Sports, French and Spanish language/culture clubs, and various groups devoted to European countries, Africa, Asia, and other 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!
