Tripatini said… - Good morning, Max, 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 the site, you may want to take a few minutes to join several of our many other groups which you might find of particular interest, such as New York State, Eco/Sustainable Tourism, Movies & Travel, A Funny Thing Happened, Travel Photography, and various others covering many topics and most countries 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, travels, and outlets.
Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, and clients. 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 we would of course also be very grateful if you were to have occasion to cover Go-Lo in any of your outlets.
We wish you a great rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you... !
