Good afternoon, Tania, and welcome to Go-Lo! It's wonderful 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 the site, 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, New York State, The Book Club, Eating/Drinking the World, Mexico, Morocco, Hotels/Motels/B&Bs/Inns, our Spanish/French/Italian language/culture clubs, and various others covering many topics and most destinations 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 writing, and your book. Be sure to add your web site URL!

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, and colleagues. For example, 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!). And of course we would greatly appreciate any coverage you could provide on Go-Lo in any appropriate outlets.

We wish you a great rest of the summer, best of luck in 2009 and beyond, and look forward to hearing more from you... !
