I'm inspired by the post below on wondering about women we see at airports . . . for those of us who travel a lot (as I do), have you ever had an unexpected hotel encounter with a provider? I'm not talking about the usual way we meet providers at hotels, or planned stays at hotels known to be provider hangouts (which I'll admit I've done), but times that the gods seemed to have been smiling down and you ran across a provider without even working hard.
It's happened to me at least twice. The first time, checking into a very expensive hotel in Cincinnati, I was behind a nice looking young brunette who was also checking in. Something didn't quite fit - I think she was dressed a little too nice for her age, and maybe because she was checking in alone, but something said "provider." Anyway, I got checked in and logged into the net with my laptop. After a quick look at TER I pulled up Eros and there she was, listed as "visiting." Even though there weren't any reviews I couldn't resist, so I e-mailed her.
A few minutes later she replied, and we played e-mail tag for a few minutes. She finally told me where she was staying and asked if I'd like to come visit her. I decided to have some fun and replied, "your room or mine - I'm on the XXth floor!" I was afraid I had spooked her because it took a few minutes for her to reply, but the message came back, "what room?" I replied, and just a few minutes later there was a knock on the door and there she was. We had a nice laugh about almost bumping into each other checking in, and we had a nice session.
The second time, I was checking in to a hotel in Fort Lauderdale. I had gotten registered and was headed down the hall to my room. I saw a gorgeous blonde standing in the hall, waiting at a room door. She was reading a fashion magazine and trying to look nonchalant, but my provider radar went off strong. As I got closer I realized she was waiting at the door next to my room. We said hello as I let myself into my room, but I couldn't come right out and ask her, so I was afraid my chance had passed.
Within about 15 minutes or so, though, I knew I was right - the sounds coming from next door were unmistakable. I debated how to make a move - leave my door cracked and wait until I heard he leave, then try to catch up with her in the hall; wait in the lobby to see if I could see her as she left (too public?) - all the options seemed either creepy or stalkerish.
So I decided on a direct approach. I wrote a note on the hotel stationery and addressed the envelope to "the lady of the house." I opened my door a bit and slipped the note under the door of the room next door. I didn't give my room number but I did give my cell number, and hoped she would call.
Precisely an hour after she entered the room next door, I heard the door open. After a couple of minutes my cell phone rang and it was her. She was a little uncertain but I assured her that I wasn't out to bust her (or worse), I just wanted to meet such a beautiful woman. She asked me to come down to meet her in the lobby bar for a drink, just too make sure I was ok. We had a couple of drinks and she was a wonderful lady. We were both too tired for an enocounter that night (and I wasn't in the mood for sloppy seconds), but we agreed to a dinner date the next night. I walked her out to get a cab and she gave me a nice kiss goodnight. The next night (and the next, it turned out) were fantastic encounters, and I saw her several more times on later trips to Fort Lauderdale.
How about it, guys (and ladies) - tell us about your hotel encounters . . .
