Today should be an interesting day. I am headed to our vaccine packaging and filling facility in Marietta, PA. (Please don't ask me where that is exactly, because I have no idea. I've only recently joined the ranks of car owners--after a 5 year hiatus since I am fortunate to be able to walk to work here in Philadelphia--and realized that I don't actually know how to get anywhere anymore if it's not by train, bike, or foot.)
This site visit itself will be pretty fascinating I imagine, but even better is the fact that I will be touring it with a few influential bloggers who are also mothers.* The purpose of the trip is to connect them with GSK staff, discuss the vaccination of children, and tour the facility. Just so we're clear about this, GSK has offered to pay for travel, accommodations or any additional childcare expenses these folks may incur as a result of this trip, and if they accept the offer, they are required to disclose this when writing about it.
I'm sure I'll have more on Monday about this, but will probably tweet a bit during the day. I'm also hoping to get some insights about our blog (and social media in general) from the group. More to come...
*I've heard some people describe women who blog about parenting as "mommy bloggers," but these women write about much more than being mothers. Kierkegaard wrote "Once you label me, you negate me," so I'll follow his lead.
