Good afternoon, Patty, 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 of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Media Only, California, San Francisco, Wine Tourism, Adventure Travel, Eating/Drinking the World, Spas, Health & Travel, Resorts Corner, Hotels/Motels, our French language/culture club, and various others covering many topics and most countries 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, RealTravelAdventures.com, and your other 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!). Naturally we'd be grateful if you have occasion to cover Go-Lo in any of your outlets, and we invite you to blog for us, as well (guidelines available upon request).


We wish you a great rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you...!
