I noticed you manage a site about Miami and tourist businesses there.
I would like to add Miami to my “7 sights of” destinations list.
If you will be interested in publishing 7 of your photos about Miami on my blog. I will mention you as the author of the photos and add a link to your site. You can also add a short article about the city and your site if you want.
Hi Hal, hope you've been having a good year so far! Please put your web site URL in your profile, and we'll also add it to our Miami group's nresources section. BTW one very good new place is Mixtura, up on Collins in the 60s. Nouvelle Peruvian, highly recommended!!
Hal, these past couple of year I've been working on so many other projects (e.g. Tripatini) that I'm not as current on the Caribbean as I used to be. But feel free to put your questions to me, because if there's something I can't authoritatively answer, I won't try to fake it.
Hal, welcome to Tripatini, the online travel community the New York Post called “Facebook for travelers.” On Tripatini, you can mingle with travelers and top travel experts alike, so everybody learns how to travel better and smarter. A few tips to get you rolling:
• JOIN one or more of our 300+ discussion groups, covering most destinations, travel topics, and travel-related professions such as media, publicists, agents, and tour operators. What are you into? Chances are we cover it. If we don’t, create your own group!
• PROMOTE YOURSELF and/or your company by sharing your story, links, photos, videos, anything at all on the Text Box on your profile page! IF YOU'RE TRAVEL-AFFILIATED, DON'T FORGET TO MENTION YOUR COMPANY NAME!
• INVITE your friends, family, colleagues, readers, anyone and everyone interested in travel! More members means a more productive, useful, and fun experience for everyone.
• Follow Tripatini on TWITTER and FACEBOOK, and we’ll be happy to reciprocate. And don’t forget to tweet and post about Tripatini, too!

Hi Hal,
thank you for accepting my friendship request!
I noticed you manage a site about Miami and tourist businesses there.

I already did with other sites (see for ex. http://edwhatamidoinghere.blogspot.it/p/7-sights-of-lima-peruvian-c... ) and it seems to have work well for both.
I think my readers would be interested to know about Miami and you can promote your site as well.
Please let me know if you are interested
regards

Good to see you Hal! Here's the James Bond story I mentioned: http://gocaribbean.about.com/od/specialinteresttravel/a/BondCaribbe...

Hi Hal!
Wow...what a good memory you have. Rome was indeed a long time ago. Thanks so much for getting in touch. What are you up to these days?
Michelle
