Rebecca, Me & Great Sax

I'm now nearing the end of my vacation in fact its my last night and I've actually a long day ahead of me tomorrow, I'm first flying from Atlanta to Philadelphia where I've over 7 hours to kill before the long flight home. I won't actually be back in England until 9am Tuesday. I've just booked into my 5th hotel in 13 days close to the airport so I can get a good start in the morning. To be honest this hotel looks the best of the lot, nice swimming pool (with two lovely ladies in it wen I went past) and a cooked breakfast in the morning. My room is right next to the fitness centre, don't know if they are trying to tell me something ?

Anyway on to what as been happening, well as you may have accessed by this posts headline I've met another online friend and had a great time. Friday evening Rebecca drove up from Columbus, she arrived at my hotel just after 7pm, I met her in the lobby recognised her straight away she is a pretty girl. We gave each other a welcome hug then we got her booked into her room.

We agreed to meet in the hotel bar when we'd got scrubbed up and our glad rags on at about 8.30pm, Following a drink and information from the hotel staff we went to a Jazz Club called Sambuca. It was very busy when we arrived and had to wait by the bar for a table, we took the opportunity to phone another online friend Rachel who was supposed to join us, but due to circumstances at home was not able to come. To be honest she's a good friend and we were both bitterly dissapointed for her, I'm sure a weekend away from lifes pressures would have done her the world of good. Plus today is her birthday so "Happy Birthday Lady".

Anyway back to the Jazz Club we were eventually seated in one of the best seats not too close but directly facing the stage, The group were awesome led by a Saxophone player (hence the title of this post for those that thought I'd made a spelling mistake). even Rebecca was impressed and that say's a lot for a lass from New Orleans and Jazz expert, in fact she got a signed CD later and I took a photo of her with the main man.

While we were watching we had a meal at the Club which was really nice, I had steak while Rebecca opted for a Pasta dish, we enjoyed that place.

The Club eventually got us a Taxi back to our hotel just after midnight, we were going to have a nightcap but the bar was shut. Like a true Gentleman I tried to escort Rebecca back to her room, took her up in the lift, said our goodbyes then realised I'd pressed the wrong button in the lift like a total plonker and we were on the wrong floor. Eventually we found the correct floor said our goodnights and both went for some shut eye.

In the morning Rebecca phoned me and we arranged to meet in the lobby at 10am where she insisted it was now the time to do one of her favorite hobbies, yes the dreaded "S", I just knew thats what she would want to do, but as a gentleman its only right to oblige the lady, she was my guest. As a single bloke its not a thing I spend a lot of time doing.

Yes you've all got it we went Shopping the Lenox Square Mall was opposite the hotel and it had a few upmarket shops. Anyway shopping to me is the weeks groceries, maybe some CD's or look in a sports store, tend not to look at much else unless really necessary.

Now first if I remember correctly it was furniture stores and we went through everything that would maybe suit Rebeccas spare room, after a couple of these type store we then moved onto her favorites, first it was a specialist soap store where we spent the next half hour smelling different soaps to see if there was one she liked. I think she bought some in the end.

We then grabbed a Coffee when Rebecca said I'll just pop in that Perfume store, 30 minutes later with me stood outside with loads of husbands and boyfriends of others in the store I decided to venture in. I found trying everthing, I mean everthing. She pointed out the Mens perfumes so to fill in time I had a look but 1o minutes later I joined her again. Now she was actually spraying stuff on her arms and asking what I thought, in fact there was some nice stuff believe me, I will add here even without this Rebecca smells good enough to eat believe me.
Anyway she settled for a new perfume when the shop assistant pointed out to me that they do it in Mens also, the assistant & Rebecca insisted I tried it, so again I did. She sprayed a sample on my arm and they both had a sniff, Hell big smiles appeared on their faces, their eyes started to bulge and they moved towards me, I was frightened and backed off slightly, then bought some.

Anyway after Rebecca had bought most of this shop we eventually went to lunch which was nice, and then made our way back to the hotel as she had to make for home. As we said our goodbyes I must admit I was a little sad to see her go.

I really enjoyed my time with Rebecca she is fantastic company, very intelligent but caring, kind, considerate, she also likes a good laugh, I reckon she is a person I could trust and that is so important to me. She made me feel comfortable with her which is also important for a shy small town boy like myself. I really enjoyed the night out and to be honest I found the shopping fun it was a novelty for me, yeh I enjoyed been with Rebecca, hope we can do it again one day in the future.

It's always good to do a bit of shopping.
Sounds like you better be careful where you wear that cologne!

So she smells good enough to eat?? Was this a slip of the tongue (no pun intended).

Have you gotten to W yet in your music sampling? Whitesnake did have a song called Slip of the Tongue? Where is David Coverdale now? I think he was with Tony Iommi? Rainbow?

Glad you are having fun eating and drinking your way through Atlanta, Philly, and other parts...The gym will be next when you get back!!

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue.

Suzy,
I must admit I normally spend as little time as possible in shops.

Spidey,
No slip of the tongue she did.

Rach,
You were never far from our thoughts.

Mick, the comment about R smelling good enough to eat just showed me, no, I wasn't even in anybody's thoughts. And the title was offensive - especially knowing the history of one of these people.

Judging from this post, you were drooling all over her and whatever.

Mick & Cathy said...

Rachel,
You have hit all the wrong conclusions.
