Friday: I arrived early to Penn Station, enough time for breakfast and grabbing a couple essentials. I sat facing East and enjoyed the scenery heading up, the light flickering through the fall foliage just a bit past peak. A short delay gave way to a perfect cat nap against the sun soaked window. Upon arriving I charmed my way into an upgraded room, making quick work to set it up - extra towels, water, lighting, music and more.
Feeling proud of myself I wandered out for a bite. I got sidetracked for a moment and stole myself into a shop that carries one of a kind items from a range of designers. In need of a trench coat the salesperson helped me find an absolute gem. Made in Italy, it has a thin down lining and hood, but with a classic trench coat silhouette, perfect for concealing risque outfits in the winter ;)
Next I found myself at Union Oyster House and quickly commandeered a seat at the bar, got a dozen oysters and bantered a bit with a large group of gentlemen and the couple next to me. I wandered out and down to Faneuil Hall and caught the end of a lively street performance. I meandered through the crowds back to my room and turned in for the night.
Saturday: I woke up early, as usual, and made my way down to the gym. I spent about an hour working out, a mix of cardio and strength. Afterwards I was pleasantly surprised to find a sauna available and swiftly made use of it. After all that movement and sweating I was ready to go! I dressed and hit up Newbury St. and settled into a cafe for a nice breakfast of avocado toast and a lavender latte. It was still pretty early so I took my time and enjoyed people watching and popping into a few shops.
A few hours later I was craving sushi and happened into an authentic Japanese restaurant, I was delighted and immediately ordered the tasting menu. It was delicious and just the right amount. I headed back to rest and change.
To my delight I received a message right as I arrived back. Someone was in the area and wanted to meet. We moved through the screening process easily and I hopped in the shower. Soon he had arrived and he was in disbelief that everything was so natural. We had a wonderful time and I'm sure we will again.
Satisfied with myself, I went out for a quick coffee before getting ready to head out for dinner. The line at Neptune's was just long enough to finish my crossword puzzle, and I just like that I was cozied up at a table digging into my first hot lobster roll, and it was sooo good!!! I walked back to my hotel through the crisp fall air full satiated.
Sunday: Another early morning brought me down to the gym + sauna and back to my room to get ready to meet someone new! We confirmed everything and I had time to relax for a bit after I set up the room. The time passed quickly and next thing I know I'm meeting a delightful new acquaintance, quickly turned passionate lover. We stayed tangled up for the whole time together and had such a great connection. With many common interests and experiences we made light conversation in between romps in the sheets. Sadly we had to part, which gave me time to refresh and grab some lunch - a caprese sandwich, kombucha, and some gummy bears & chocolate.
After securing my refuel items I snuggled up with a mid afternoon movie and lunch in bed. I had just enough time to indulge and recoup before my next meeting. We've met already, so I was feeling much less guarded about the whole experience. It can be so nerve wracking to meet new people all the time, it's very nice to see a familiar face. This time built on the last and then some! We ended up running out of time and thankfully neither of us had afternoon plans, so we got to continue our fun. Eventually I extracted every drop of his passion and returned him to the world a bit lighter.
I was also feeling a bit depleted and stayed in the rest of the night, after venturing out for a bit of dinner, watching movies and chatting with a few friends on the phone. Sleep came early, which was good because the morning brought a little surprise.
Monday: Up early, per usual, I checked my messages and saw a last minute request to meet before I left. Could I come to them before they go to work? Of course! I gathered some essentials, showered up and got dressed to meet my waiting car. I was ushered down to the seaport area, to a lovely luxury building, and whisked up the elevator to a floor with an amazing view - both the city and the gentleman who requested my visit. We'd met before as well, in New York, and been in contact about possibly meeting in Boston, which is why this meeting was so seamless. With limited time we caught up between kisses and clothes removal, before I knew it I was bent over looking out the window while he had me for breakfast. We agreed next time would have to be longer, but for now he needed to get to work and I had a train to catch. I got dropped off at my hotel with just enough time to get ready and pack my belongings. The journey home was smooth and unremarkable. I arrived back in Brooklyn, greeted by a few neighbors and reunited with my own bed <3
The following week: Between reminiscing on my wonderful encounters I've had time to assess my return on investment. New to touring, I'm still figuring out what I can physically handle and where I want to continue visiting. Boston sent me home with a little over half of my earnings, the other half was spent on travel expenses - accommodation, transportation, food, entertainment. Much better than I was anticipating, as I hear many stories of operating at a loss. That combined with the absolutely wonderful experiences I had, personally and professionally, make me want to come back again!
I've already got my next tour lined up, an area I've been teasing for awhile, to LA for a couple weeks after Christmas. I haven't spent much time there yet and I'm hoping it can be another base for me. Wish me luck and let me know if you have any recommendations!
If we've ever met and you want to share your experience I'm now compiling reviews to create a testimonial page. You can submit yours to my email: roguelovexo@protonmail.com, subject: testimonial. My inbox is always open and I do enjoy hearing from those I've met, especially when it's to coordinate our next encounter ;)
Until we meet, or meet again..
xoxo,
Love 💕
