I apologize for the long silence - I took a real vacation! I've been on a cruise for the last week with my brother and sister-in-law. It was a bit stormy, but wonderful nonetheless.
Of course a cruise is THE time to let your hair down, relax, party : ), and forget about everyday life. Having said that, I must admit that I was reminded of the old maxim - It's a small world. As tends to happen in the normal course of conversation, those of us seated at the same dining table began discussing our professions. I had (thank goodness) practiced what I preach and placed several business cards in my evening clutch. I handed them ALL out! (Fortunately, I had several more in my laptop case in my cabin for the rest of the trip!)
I did not 'do' business or anything of the sort -- I truly took a vacation. However, now that I'm back in the swing of things, I will be following up on those connections. Moral of the story: Always carry your business cards - you never know who you will meet.

you never know where or when you will meet people networking. It might be for business or pleasure, so carrying your business cards is always important
