Look at the schematic, not the traces on the shield. In the upper, right corner of the schematic is a pictoral representation of the Arduino. All the pins that have lines coming off them (not the stubs) need to have a connection made to the shield. Those are digital pins 0 and 1 if you want to use hardware serial to talk to the board -or- 2 and 3 if you want to use software serial, ground, Vin, and, optionally, reset. Since you are not stacking the shield, the Arduino's reset switch will not be obscured, so connecting reset is not required.
