"Hello--I haven't been posting for awhile--combination of long-term travel and deadlines ... but I just stopped by the site and wanted to express condolences to Nancy."
"Sally--
there's a perfect, local taverna on the bridge right at the piazza of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. I can't remember the name of it (could be "ponte" something), but you can't miss it. And you can sit in the window, drink, eat and watch the kids…"
"I've already seen this change on a micro scale with the iPad. Friends living abroad have visited NYC--iPads in hand--and are using them as instant interactive references, complete with maps, current "where to" lists, visuals and user-generated…"
"Well, he probably "shouldn't" have, but I sure don't blame him. Even the best of us have a snapping point. I hope he's still able to collect what's due him after 20 years of service, and maybe he can find a job that's meaningful. I'd also hope that…"
"I just ended a relationship with a zine that changed my stories to be factually incorrect. Worse, they didn't seem to care when I pointed out that they were, in fact, misleading people. I'd rather be without the income than have errors in my story.…"

"I don't think anyone has quantified how social media--including Twitter--is helping their business. More than being just the newest vehicle for creating buzz, it's for saying "I am here with the rest of you" and seeming like you're part of the…"
"There is a cute hotel called Family in the Rue Cler area near the Eiffel Tower, and the Style hotel near Montmarte. It was a few years ago but the owners were very nice."
"The Five Hotel - 3, rue Flatters, 75005 Paris - Tél : +33(0) 1 43 31 74 21
E-mail de l'hôtel : contact@thefivehotel.com
Great location off Bd du Port Royal, under 90 Euros, friendly staff - I stayed last October to write some video scripts and had…"
"For John re: Mexico et al. Try contacting Raminta Tsopelas
Lilas Public Relations, raminta@lilas-pr.com, 917-721-1977. She represents lots of high-end properties at Riveria Maya and can probably connect you to tourism sources. Feel free to use my…"
Good morning, Lana, and welcome to Tripatini! 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, you may want to take a moment to join several other of our many groups which you may find of particular interest, such as Media Only, Wine Tourism, Italy, United Kingdom, France, India, Eating/Drinking the World, our French and Italian language/culture clubs, and plenty of others covering many 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 interests, your travels, your writing, and your writing/outlets.
Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, associates, and readers. 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!).
Thanks much for joining us, Lana; we wish you an outstanding rest of 2009 and look forward to seeing you online.
