Добрый день и добро пожаловать в Трипатини! 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 Tripatini, you may want to take a moment to join several other of our many other groups which you may find of particular interest, such as Calirofnia, San Francisco, Tour Operators/Suppliers, Eating/Drinking the World, our Russian Language/Culture Club, and plenty of others covering many other topics and most destinations across the globe.

FYI, on your profile you'll see a green 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 work.

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

Thanks much for joining us; we wish you an outstanding holiday season, a great start to 2010, and look forward to seeing you online.

На здоровье!
