about my trip because I had a really great time and it was all because of a few
really special girls. I always hate going away on business because it means
spending nights in a hotel room bored most of the time. The last few trips I
have tried to find a local girl or 2 to hang around with and maybe get out and
see the local sights.
About a week or so ago I got on Urnotalone and went into chat with the hopes
that I might find a local girl. Boy did I ever hit the jackpot! I got a reply
from a rather cute girl (CD) named Rachel from the Boston area. We chatted a bit
and she pointed me to a local girls night out group named "Sisters of Boston".
She also told me that they met on Fridays at a local hotel bar and usually went
to a club or bar in the area later in the evening as well. Rachel agreed to take
me with her on Friday night to meet the Sisters. I also joined the yahoo group
and post that I was going to be in the area for a few days and was looking for
some help breaking the boredom.
I got a few replies from the group, but one of the moderators named Sonia really
went out of her way to greet me. We emailed back and forth and she said she
would take me out to a local bar and to listen to some music if I wanted to. She
came and met me at my hotel on Wed. night and we went off to a really great jazz
bar named Zygomates. The bar centers around its wines and we decided to share a
bottle as we sat and talked while listening to some incredible jazz being
played. We sat there for several hours enjoying some good wine, great music, and
wonderful company. I didn't want the night to end but inevitably, I had to go
back to the hotel. Sonia walked me back to the hotel and we said our good-byes.
On Thursday I found myself with no plans and decided to throw a note out on the
group to see if anyone else might be free to do something. The few replies I got
were from girls who were unable to get out, so I decided I would try and go out
to a bar I had found the night before a block away. As I was getting ready to go
out I got a text message from Sonia asking if I had found anyone to go out with.
I replied that I had not, but was going out anyway. To my surprise, Sonia called
me and volunteered again to come and join me. I felt honored that she would go
out of her way like this to make this Jersey Girl feel at home. We hit a few
bars, I got a few blisters from my new shoes, and I got to bed at a late hour
(not that I was complaining, mind you). We talked for what seemed like days that
night, and found that we really had some things in common and we certainly were
becoming friends. This was way too cool! Every city needs a Sonia to greet the
new and visiting girls...
On Friday Rachel came over after work and we got ourselves ready to go out. I
had to get some souvenirs for my wife and we went out in search of a store that
was still open after 8pm that might have what I was looking for. We wandered
around some stores as it was getting dark and I do have to say that for once, I
was not the one that was getting all the looks. Rachel was definitely getting
lots of attention. It was great! For a new girl she really has a classy look and
turns some heads. We eventually ended up at a mall and I found my souvenirs. We
made our way to the hotel to meet the rest of the Sisters and I was greeted by
their Queen (meant affectionately, she is the one that is organizing the meets
<g>). Ashley was a sight to see I must admit. I definitely had some competition
in the legs department with this one. Legs a mile high, great body, absolutely
gorgeous. The girls welcomed me and we had a drink before some of the girls
headed off to another bar. Some girls stayed at the hotel while about 8 of us
(including one GG) made our way to a dance club named Roxy in Boston, right
around the corner from my hotel.
Now, if you know me you know that I am not much of a dancer and have to be
practically dragged out onto the dance floor. We went in and I had a drink and
watched some of the girls join those on the dance floor. I was enjoying the beat
of the music and said "what the heck" and joined them on the dance floor. After
all, you only live once. Now, this is not a TG type club, and we were the only
TGs there. Some of the dancers were very friendly right away and some were
giving us odd looks, but we didn't care. I started to move to the beat, but I
don't really know how to dance. Being a people watcher I just watched the women
and tried to emulate some of what they were doing. Before I knew it I didn't
really care what anyone thought and just enjoyed myself. We had a few GGS come
over and dance with us and 2 stayed to dance with us for the rest of the
evening. Some others came & went, we had pictures taken with a bunch of GGS and
even some of the guys too as we danced the night away. I was having a ball. My
feet hurt, my legs were sore, but I didn't care. I was really getting into the
music and the GGS (and some more guys) were starting to enjoy dancing with me
(and the other girls with me too). Ashley and I definitely wore that dance floor
out. We spent over 2 hours dancing almost non-stop and when the club closed I
didn't want to stop dancing. Ok, I'm hooked! I think that this is the most fun
(and exercise) that I have had in a long time.
Afterwards Rachel came back to my hotel and changed to head home. I feel as if I
made another good friend that night (several in fact). I was so happy that
Rachel happened to sign into URNA when I was on that first night. Thank you Rachel!
Sonia - You made my trip very memorable and I will be sure to look you up next
time I am in town. Ashley - You go girl! Keep up the good work. To the rest of
the Sisters, thank you for welcoming me into your group. I had fun and all of
you made an otherwise boring business trip very exciting and memorable.
I will look the Sisters up the next time I am in town. That's a promise!

Your travels have shook my spirit and broke my heart...thanks for the incredible journey...
And to think you were the one that coaxed me into dancing! Of course it took more rum for me but it helped the body get into the groove! I hope we get to do it again sometime.
xoxo
Rachel
