Good afternoon, Sharon, 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 The Book Club (send us the name of your titles, we'll 'add em!), Eating/Drinking the World, Italy, Canada, Thailand, Ecuador, Eco/Sustainable, Adventure Travel, Pets On the Go, and various groups devoted to all the U.S. states and many countries around the world.

And if you would, please be so kind to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, and students. We wish you a great rest of the summer, and look forward to hearing more from you!
