<p>Well folks I&#8217;m taking this show on the road. Here&#8217;s the backstory&#8230;.</p>
<p>A couple of months ago we were asked to go on a delegation to meet with some companies in <a href="http://www.techtriangle.com/" target="_blank">Canada&#8217;s technology triangle</a>. For many reasons not to be discussed here, we decided not to go. In the meantime though I started to pine for Canada, eh, my old stomping grounds. So we got back in touch with business contacts that we have in <a class="zem_slink" title="Waterloo (electoral district)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_%28electoral_district%29">Waterloo</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="Toronto" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.65,-79.3833333333&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=43.65,-79.3833333333%20%28Toronto%29&amp;t=h">Toronto</a> and <a class="zem_slink" title="Ottawa" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.4208333333,-75.69&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=45.4208333333,-75.69%20%28Ottawa%29&amp;t=h">Ottawa</a> and decided that the trip was still worth making on our own steam. A few clicks through <a class="zem_slink" title="Expedia" rel="homepage" href="http://www.expedia.com">Expedia</a> and bob&#8217;s your uncle &#8211; we are headed to North America for mixture of business, catching up with family and friends and, well&#8230;of course the sun!</p>
<h3>How can I help you?</h3>
<p>I will be blogging from both here and at <a href="http://www.girlstoys.co.nz" target="_blank">girlstoys</a> depending on what hat I am wearing along the way. Expect updates on the awesome possum people I meet up with along the way. A few twitter friends are already locked in for a meetup, a few are still left to be organised. Apart from planned meetings with biz contacts, I&#8217;m also looking to make connections with people I&#8217;ve met online in forums and other networks.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m willing to meet with people on others behalf, if its going to be at all interesting I&#8217;ll most likely squeeze it into the trip (within reason and if you let me know sooner rather than later).</p>
<h3>How can you help me?</h3>
<p>Have a look at my <a href="http://www.realsocialgirl.com/about/" target="_self">about page</a> to get a better idea of who I am or the <a href="http://www.realsocialgirl.com/portfolio/" target="_self">portfolio</a> for info on what projects I&#8217;m up to. Then take a look at my <a href="http://www.tripit.com/people/ghada" target="_blank"><span class="zem_slink">Tripit</span></a> plan &#8211; its a bit light at the mo&#8217;, but will fill up! If you know someone along the route that I could benefit from meeting, let me know. Here&#8217;s a few ideas of the kinds of people I&#8217;d like to meet.</p>
<ul>
<li>Fun types</li>
<li><a class="zem_slink" title="Twitter" rel="homepage" href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a> addicts</li>
<li><a href="http://www.girlstoys.co.nz" target="_blank">Mother entrepeneurs </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.trickysheep.com" target="_blank">Gaming</a> addicts, developers or investors</li>
<li>Social media enthusiasts</li>
<li>Good people</li>
</ul>
<p>Business as usual, but just thought I&#8217;d let you know. More info to follow as details unfold <img src='http://www.realsocialgirl.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
