A corner of New Yorkâs Times Square has become my own personal geek heaven!  A group of 20 #brand ambassadors traveled to the Big Apple this past Thursdayâsome of us to meet for the first time, while others were re-united from previous trips<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n We started the visit off with a wonderful dinner and powwow that included our team members as well as meeting Mark Absher<\/strong><\/a>, Social Strategist and also Monica Vila of @TheOnlineMom<\/a>. <\/strong> I would like to thank you both <\/strong>for hosting a fun cocktail hour and dinner to welcome us.<\/p>\n What I enjoyed about this trip was not only being able to act like a big kid in very tech candy store at the Verizon Bryant Park Innovation Center in NYC, but also feeling a sense of team spirit and family-style bonding with our ambassadors. It was great to see Misty<\/strong><\/a> and Marty McPadden<\/strong><\/a> again and, if you were following our social media pages, {you know} we had a blast with friends old and new.<\/p>\n I tend to share more photos of my trips on Facebook, Google+ and Instagram, so please check those platforms to follow along with me on my journeys.  I finally got to meet John Paul Aguiar<\/strong><\/a>â a face-to-face meeting makes the relationship so much richer!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
