Good afternoon, Bill, and a hearty bem-vindo a 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 Go-Lo, you may want to also take a few minutes to join several other of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as France, Portuguese Language/Culture Club, Eating/Drinking the World, Hotels/Motels/B&Bs/Inns, Eco/Sustainable Tourism, Bars/Clubs, and various others covering many topics and most other destinations throughout the Americas, Europe, and the rest of 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, and BrazilMax.com.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, and colleagues. 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!). We would of course be grateful if you have the opportunity to include Go-Lo in your coverage.

We wish you the best of luck over the rest of 2009 and beyond, both personally and professionally, and look forward to hearing much more from you...
