Good afternoon, Tom, 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 more of our many groups which you may find of particular use, such as Media Only; Argentina; Brazil; Uruguay; Panama; Mexico, St. Lucia; Cuba; Canada, USA and the individual 50 states; France; United Kingdom; Japan; Italy; our French and Spanish language/culture clubs; 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 yourself, your travels, your web sites and other writing/outlets, other work and activities, and more.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, associates, and audience. 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, please join our Facebook fan page and follow us on Twitter (see front page info box); we'll be happy to reciprocate!
