Why don't you email me and we can exchange details?
Thanks,

"I'd love to hear about it! Drop me a trip report (or a link to stories)-marcia@pwta.com.
Mark Gillespie said:Good news! I'll be going over next month to spend a couple of days at Royal Lochnagar taking Diageo's malt class and then visiting…"
"I am looking to plan a trip to write about Washington State wine travel for my own column as well as additional publications. I am looking for contacts at CVBs/PR Agencies. Please e-mail me - Marcia@pwta.com.
"I have been the victim more than once on pitching an idea, having it turned down (or not responded to) and then I see my idea written by someone else. Honestly, I'm doing very little pitching these days. It's just not a practical use of my time when…"
"I am the Wine And Spirits Travel Examiner and the College Tennis Examiner. Currently, I make less than anything else I do, but I'm hopeful that they are making some changes to improve this. The system is a bit strange since you are doing a column…"
Good evening, Marcia, 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 it, you may want to take a few minutes to join several of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Media Only, Wine Tourism, Australia, New Zealand, California, Illinois, our Spanish and Italian language/culture clubs, and plenty of others covering many topics and most destinations 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, and your writing.
Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, 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!). If you have any way of covering Go-Lo journalistically, that would of course be most appreciated, and we invite you to consider blogging for us, as well (guidelines available upon request).
We wish you a great rest of 2009 and look forward to hearing more from you...!
