But , only sometimes.

....I would make lunch time appts. I could be gone for 90 minutes but more than that was a stretch. So....the person I was seeing could not be way out of the way. Now that I am retired It doesn't matter. I have all the time in the world.

that's just the way it goes,  there are a few areas  where I live that I won't travel to. Downtown, the airport and an area that  borders the interstate. I admit to be tempted to see touring ladies downtown or at the airport, but have never pulled the trigger.

Yes.. and Uhhh.. no..

More than once.. I have scheduled something and then regretted it when stuck in rush hour traffic for over two hours.. so no more... There was a girl I wanted to see.. but she was in an area with no parking.. was downtown and I did not schedule when she told me the area where she was staying..  

I have decided that a girl should be in a suburban area with parking at a large hotel with enough traffic that a visiting client will not be noticed.. downtown hotels can be nice.. but parking and access can frequently be limited.. so I don't want to do that anymore.. a personal decision..

I usually work around it, Claire...

I don't often suddenly decide "I need a woman!", then look for the most convenient. Not my style.

I prefer to see a specific woman, and will plan in advance to do so. Being a bit flexible in terms of my own time and convenience is often necessary. Usually, it is well worth the little bit of extra time and effort - at least for me it is.

LAX area is a no-go, but touring ladies still like it for some reason.  The traffic in and out of that area is horrendous throughout the day, not just rush hour.  I recently had to cut off a regular who moved her incall to that area.  

In my initial inquiry, I always ask a touring girl "what part of town" she plans to stay.
If asked, I will offer recommendations.  

I won't schedule an appointment that will put me in rush hour traffic. I'll give a heavy sigh, but play along if parking is a hassle as long as I can pay cash (leave no footprint). I may not book or cancel if she books a cheap hotel/motel or one in an area that is well known by us locals for escorts.

Looks/service/price/location are all factors.

The location is the first thing I check, after someone has caught my eye.  

When I worked downtown, no problem.  But I won't drive there to see anyone.  Besides traffic, parking is a real bother and leaving a paper trail, as one guy above mentions, is an issue.  You can't park at a meter in the city without using a credit card, and finding a garage that takes cash is iffy.  

The airport is popular for visiting ladies, but the same traffic and parking issues make it unlikely that I will go there.   I parked at a hotel (no free parking, BTW) near the airport, and the ONLY way to pay was with a CC, not good. Fortunately, there are two major suburban hubs that are accessible and and very popular with visiting ladies.

I don't have a car right now (and probably won't for several years), so if a provider is not on a bus line, I can't do it.  The good news is that the Twin Cities have one of the best public transportation systems in the country, so I haven't had any issues yet.

I have several relatives who work the hotels in town. Not to mention running into many people I know when attending events there. If you book in town, I can't come see you. If you book a hotel in the suburbs, maybe. Now if I'm the one on tour, I can party anywhere. Therefore, if your tour brings you to a city within range, I'll drive over. In fact, I'm driving 12 hours to see a lady in the near future.

The only deal killer might be is if the area is not safe.

Appointments in downtown Chicago are simply a pain in the ass to get to and from. The traffic is horrendous, it can take 40 minutes (normal traffic) up to 2 hours at peak traffic. Then there is parking, which is ridiculous ($40 or more) and still requires a walk to the hotel. I'm much more inclined to Uber, but the unpredictability of traffic is still in play. What that then means is I must leave extra early to ensure that I'm at my appointment on time (I fully respect a lady's time). It's just an awful experience, I've done it a few times but I'll consider other ladies in the burbs first, she would have to be very special for me to go through such aggravation just to get to her.  

I have never been a downtown kind of guy, and never will. I have no idea on how or why someone would suffer it taking 10 minutes to drive 6 blocks on a daily basis. I've gone to NYC a few times, which is just as bad, but it's been when I have all day to go anywhere, which is a must have if you go downtown Chicago or NY.  

So yeah, if you choose a downtown incall you are alienating clients like me, not that I am anything special, but my bennies spend the same.

It really depends upon the city.  I assume most touring girls try to hit the bigger cities for obvious reasons.

You have downtowns and expansive suburbs.    

Here in Minneapolis I live in the north suburbs but the major airport is in the southern suburbs.  So all the touring girls pick hotels near the airport.  Automatic 1 hour round trip for me even in good traffic.  

I can't even imagine places like NY or Chicago if you have to get somewhere across town.

Location is always a factor to consider, especially in large cities with a lot of traffic.  In the DC area, common touring destinations include: Tyson's Corner, Fairfax, Dulles/Reston, and Dupont Circle.  Generally speaking, I tend to stay away from Dupont Circle unless I am really ambitious.  For other reasons, I tend to stay away from Springfield and a few other places.  And obviously location is a significant factor to consider in determining rates.  

Since I don't own a car, and I don't really like using Uber/cabs, a touring lady has to be public transit accessible. If a provider is in DC, that's not a problem. MD or VA, then it might be

but it doesn't mean I wouldn't go out of my way to see her. My farthest same day trek was 120 miles from home ... it started out as a 1 hour date, she sounded that good. Five hours later, a game of chess and her Samurai Sword exhibition ... how could I leave.  

10 years ago when I was home of the 2 hour boner ... now, not so ... lol

Come to Boston ... or somewhere North of Manhattan and South of Portland Maine ... I might surprise you. But not with the 2 hour boner.

I have canceled appts after finding out a provider was staying in a very undesirable part of town.  Once I even let once know that there had been a string of armed robberies at hotels in the area she was going to be in and she decided not to change.

Yes, definitely makes a difference to me.
The same for apartment complexes that have difficulty parking.

Yes, if I have had my eye on a certain lady for some time I will make certain exemptions i.e driving distance, location in city, etc. to go see her.  

I've had a few ladies tell me that they were thinking about staying somewhere else than their normal location and if I minded driving elsewhere to see them. I didn't mind. I even suggested an area that they might like.

...but not by choice.

I live in a rural small town and I need to drive 2 1/2 hours one way to get to a slightly larger city where there are some vetted and verified professional providers. To have a decent pool from which to draw, it's a 4 1/2 hour one way drive. Not bitching, it's just my situation.

So, yes, I travel to see someone I really want to see. Recently, I got on a plane, flew 400 miles and had an overnight with a lovely young woman I'd seen previously (she was visiting aforementioned larger city when we met the first time). Does make it a more substantial "buy in" in terms of time, as well as money, but I have to play larger & longer, as I don't get to play as often as I'd like.

I'm still a bit of a newbie. When I see a provider local to me (DC area) it's a *huge* plus if I can get to her via the metro. I like walking, so even a mile or more isn't normally a problem. That said, we get a wonderful combination of heat and humidity here so I won't walk far unless I think I'll have enough time for a quick shower before we start. I like getting sweaty, but no one wants to *start* sweaty!

I've seen a few ladies where I had to drive and I'm thinking I might start having to draw the line on that. Traffic is so unpredictable that I might start to pass on otherwise very desirable connections. Plus, it does neither of us any good if I miss the appointment because I was stuck on the beltway.
