Hi Kristan:
It's great to see you on here! It's been ages since we last worked together. What are you up to these days? Write me when you can - I'd love to catch up!
Best,

Welcome!! So great to hear from you again and see you here. Let's chat one of these days soon, catch up a bit, and talk about Africa coverage. I'm up in NYC in December. You're not living in London anymore, you say? I'll be there in November for World Travel Market.
Good evening Kristan, and a hearty welcome! 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 other of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Media Only, Africa Safaris, Eco/Sustainable Tourism, Adventure Travel, Luxury Travel, Eating/Drinking the World, Sailing/Boating, our French and German language/culture clubs, and plenty of others covering many topics and most destinations throughout Africa, Europe, 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 your writing 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!). If you have any way of covering Go-Lo in any of your outlets, that would of course be greatly appreciated, and we invite you to consider also blogging for us (guidelines/rates available upon request).
Many thanks for joining us, Kristan; we wish you a great rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you...!
