What the hell, heres my 2cents.
I've not visited many out-of-town SP's but would like to recount a couple of instances,
One time I had setup an apointment via e-mail, several back and forth messages concluding with her saying she'd send me an e-mail with hotel/room number when she arrived. Well I was busy the day of the apointment and didn't have access to a pc most of the day, I checked my e-mail an hour before the apointment and no new messages. I sent her a quick note but had to leave the pc and didn't get a chance to recheck my e-mail till later. When I did she had replyed, basicly as far as she knew she sent me the contact info, I never saw it but did get her reply. To her I was a no- show, but I really had wanted to meet her!.
I had the pleasure of visiting Willow while she was in town, however when I first called her and left my phone number in her VM I must have been mubbeling because she was off by one number. I wasn't going to let this happend again, I called and left a second message and all was well. Again close call, and both of us where doing our best.
In the first case I should have tried the ladys number, but it was my very first atempt to book a SP. Live and learn. Luckly things worked out with Willow.
Cheers,
Stone
