#GGBliss could have been a miss if I lived in Saudi Arabia

Travel Post?
This is not your typical travel post, but then again what is typical about me anyway?
So to start off GoGirlfriend.com is having a FIND YOUR BLISS Contest & for the last couple of weeks I've been trying to think of something AMAZING to write.
So far that hasn't happened, but something did spark this post.

When I woke up to the radio on my alarm clock this morning, I heard them joking about how Saudi Arabian women are breaking the law by driving.  Apparently they are uploading videos of themselves driving around.  Although I have a VERY odd sense of humour, this didn't strike me as funny at all.  Infact I never thought about it being against the law for women to drive in other countries.  Then I thought how different my life would be if I wasn't allowed to drive.  How many friendships would have never came to be?

I love going to events and meeting people Face to Face.  When you can take your online friendships and create an IN REAL LIFE HUGFEST nothing tops that!

So I rely on my car to travel, whether it's to get to Toronto, Oakville, Burlington ,or HIGHLY EXOTIC locales like Brantford or Cobourg I am thankful that I have the right to drive.  So as of today my favorite place to travel is Highway 401

It takes me to HUGS.

(I have always said that Bon Jovi songs tell the story of my life)

So that is my @GoGirlfriend contest entry & like I said not your typical travel post.  I leave that to the experts.
 
If you're still not convinced that I need to go to Blissdom Canada, we also put together a little presentation with the help of our good friends from Tweetstock

Was I Bliss-less by not attending #BlissdomCanada ?

What is Blissdom Canada?

Well for being someone that didn't attend I'll go with a three day conference with bloggers to meet, great and learn.  It's about networking with other bloggers, brands & speakers.
Yes it does sound like somewhere I would have a fantastic time, but I wasn't able to go to Blissdom Canada.  It wasn't that I didn't want to, it's just that the timing wasn't right for me. 

I have saw first hand that when people don't get to go to certain events the little green eyed monster shows up.  I've read it on twitter & facebook. 

Personally I think that is ridiculous. 

I was very excited for my pals that they were attending.  They still included everyone not attending in the great happenings of each day.  I read daily recap blogs.  Live tweets during Keynote Speaking were sent to highlight important topics and I had a blast last night seeing everyone's pics of the Costume Party.

Today I asked on the #BlissdomCanada (hastag) if anyone is doing a recap of BlissdomCanada could they please send me a link to their blog?  Within minutes I was getting replies.  Everyone is happy to share what they learned.

So although I was unable to attend the inaugural BlissdomCanada I didn't feel left out.  Instead I felt somewhat "in the loop"
That's the difference between jealously and supportiveness.

Bliss(domCanada) is what you make it!
