Greetings and welcome to Tripatini! 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, we recommend you take a moment to join several other of our many groups which you may find of particular use, such as Tour Operators/Suppliers, Australia, Beach-Bumming, Eating/Drinking the World, Eco/Sustainable Tourism, Adventure Travel, 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 Australia, Sunlover Holidays and its offerings, and more (feel free to add the URL to your profile).

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, associates, and clients/guests. 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!).Finally, if you have a Facebook or Twitter account, please join our fan page and follow us (see front page info box), and tweet us! We'll be happy to follow you, as well.

Thanks much for joining us; we wish you an outstanding start to 2010, and it goes without saying that we look forward to seeing you online.

Cheers!
