Good afternoon, Nicole, 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 Alaska, Bed and Breakfasts/Inns/Pensions, Adventure Travel, Eco/Sustainable Tourism, Eating/Drinking the World, and various others covering many topics and most countries throughout the U.S., South America, 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, your travels, and Black Bear Inn.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, and 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!).

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