First time out -- I did it but need some comfort...

Thanks for sharing. You have accomplished a lot for the first outing, especially going to Arby's. Once you did it, it will be easier next time and you will enjoy much more.

It's always hard the first time but it will become much easier the more you do it. Next time you might try a club or bar frequented by tg/cds---btw I've been lock out of a hotel room with a key that didn't work---I was wearing a skin tight black leather minidress, thigh high stilletto heeled boots, and shoulder length black leather gloves---I trotted my butt down the to the front desk, got the key and a big smile from the two girls working there, and got back into my room---although I'm sure I gave them something to tell their friends about for the next week, I had absolutley no problems and neither did you, so it seems

It take's a lot of courage to do what you did. If you want something bad you have to go out and get it. For our first time it sounds like it wasn't that bad. By the look of your aviator you are very passable and hope you don't give up that was a very big step and you should be very proud of yourself.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I want to have a sucessful first time. You did great! Would you share additional outings as you become more adventurous?

Shouldn't they just include the key thing in every one of the CD survival guide? :daydreaming:

Congrats Maiko! I have not done it yet, but I look to girls like you for inspiration. Soon, someday soon for me!

I am so glad you did make it out Maiko. The first time is always the hardest. Especially doing it all on your own. The ladies are right, it will get easier. Whenever you’re ready, feel free to join us some time. I am sure you will pass a lot easier than I do. :)

Good for you, congrats, Rose! It does get easier with time. First, you become more self-confident, and second, you'll notice that very few people really look at other people for more than a second at most.

welcome to the world of light, it is grand to be out and doing as one wants to is it not. :-)

now keep a good thought and next time make sure your key works first. ;-)
you will find most do not care enough to notice, and those that do well they will not cause a problem, might even give them a smile for the day. but it gets easier and better. the fun is just beginning. soon the mall shopping, going to the store for food, hardware, etc. even a weekend or just a fun day in the city.
(for my family going to sf for a a day is a big thing).
playing tourist, shopping, having lunch, maybe dinner, or even just to the local pizza joint for a pie.

I would like to know (might be a good Discovery channel topic) if there is some technology embedded in those room key cards that knows one would rather not have to go to the front desk for a replacement! It seems to happen pretty frequently.

Ah Maiko, a wonderful little memory for you and well done girl. I felt that your story was not so much about obstacles but problems you had met and dealt with.
