Holiday companion??

[TPreston]

I was planning a "trip of a lifetime" with OH next year. She sadly died last month (not wholly unexpected, given multiple health issues)*. Because of her health she sort of gave me tacit approval to see WGs, but I never confirmed to her this was the case. I'm probably going to take a break from punting for a bit.

On the basis that life goes on, however, and as the destination was one I'd always wanted to go to, I'm still planning to go (probably this time next year). If I've managed to get around to normal dating by then (doubtful) all well and good. If not, what do you think would be the best way to find someone to go with - is this a case of joining SA, or would I be better to approach a regular WG I visit, or is there some other option like an ad in the paper as per Gerald Kingsland/Lucy Irvine ("Castaway" - for younger readers, not the Tom Hanks film). Thoughts?

*not giving too many details to preserve anonymity

Sorry to hear about your loss.

SA could provide an oppurtunity but finding a girl with that length of time free to go with you may prove difficult. And think the chances of emotional attachment could be likely due to your circumstances and the length of time together, when thats tied together with a financial commitment I think it would be frought with problems.

A clear profile and building up a solid relationship between each other prior to going away could work just fine though.

Depending on the location of your trip, a bar girl in Thailand/SE Asia would probably be a better and cheaper option. Obviously their would be safety worries but I've always been fine, and keeping cash withdrawals fairly small and always using the hotel safe. I had a girl I met in Chiang Mai at a bar come with me for a tour around a few different places and worked out well, I'd barfined her two days in a row from the same bar and she jumped at the chance to come with me - she'd want alot less money than an SA girl, and while communication may not be perfect with limited english they'll be options out there.

Depending on the bar and the girl you may have to pay a large bar fine (a £5 or so fee given to a bar to allow you to take the girl away from her work place) for the duration of the trip.

I'd talk to someone on a general dating app prior and make your intentions known and again I think you'd find interest.

Im  just back from a 3 day cruise with a client and whilst it was wonderful i dont sleep well when im with someone else so im glad to be back in my own bed tonight, this may well be the case with the op that he may find it hard to fully relax with a wg

[Marmalade]

What was wonderful about it?

How many shags did he get in his three days of this supposed cruise which doubtless set him back a grande or two??

[EnglishRebecca121]

its wonderful to go away with a regular client as you know what they like and what makes them tick  . we share the same hobbies so they helps to

Why don't you stop touting your arse on this topic. The last thing the guy needs is to come into contact with someone like you.

She probably spent the 3 days, (and nights) helping the daft twat to stick stamps in his album at fuck knows what an hour.

Some new one-liners for DustyRebecca...
(Prossies are their own boss, and their boss says it’s ok to lie)

Fantasy line!
“I’ve just had a marvellous client who wanted to pay me double-rate for a VIP service. I made sure he had the fantastic time.”

Awful or awesome, take-your-pick line:
I have this awesome regular who never arrives without a wonderful present.”

Throwaway lines:
“It only happens occasionally but there are some guys who just like to talk. They’re my favourite. I never charge extra for this service.”
“I got £100 tip this morning, I’ll have to remember to declare that on my tax return”

The eating pies line:
I’ve been so busy this week with bookings but I managed to squeeze in my gym workout.”
“Sometimes I feel so young I forget my age, but fortunately I wrote it down in my phone book so I can always look it up.”
“I’ve been on a diet but one of my clients said I look too thin. I think it’s all the time at the Gym though.”
“I’m hopeless with my computers but one of my regs is an IT expert. He says things like photoshop are easy for him. He’s like a wonderful warm fluffy cushion to cuddle up to [at my usual rates]”

Can anyone suggest any more?

Very amusing.  But can't you create a R bashing thread so other threads can more easily stay on topic?  maybe every time she posts you can link the thread...

[Steely Dan]

I agree with others that it is best to plan a punting holiday rather than taking a local escort with you.  I have had a few weekends/short trips like this.  Posted reviews in International forum.

Okay well if you start the thread Steely ...   
tbh I think it’s too broad an OP post to take too seriously. Whatever he does it’s not likely to make him feel better. A new relationship might help. Or just fucking as many slags as possible. Seriously.

[CheeseBoard]

if i was in your position id rather pay for and take a mate/family member

you’ll have a much better time, will cost less and cant have a few punts before you go/after you get back

not sure if that is an option but that’d be number 1 for me

+1

Take a mate with you and Punt while you are there (as well as here, before and after).  Firstly, cheaper (could more than double your cost by paying her as well as everything else), second you are not stuck with someone with whom you may not get on with, and thirdly, once away gives you time to clear your head and think without having to worry about who you are with / responsible for (someone you don’t know well)

Sorry for your loss fella

[jeanphillipe]

It's easier for a woman to feign being nice for an hour or two or even (dinner date etc) and make herself perfect for you. But long periods on holiday...woman don't live in the make up they cask themselves in suddenly you will see the real person and you may not like it. We make allowances for our partners or friends cause we love them or enjoy their company. But someone you don't know who may get arsey etc plus what if on your trip she's waves the red flag..

Take the advice of the experienced members go with a mate/family member , a female friend perhaps?

As fictional Charlie sheen says 'you don't pay a woman to have sex with her, you pay her to leave'

[jeanphillipe]

I thought i had got it wrong, that it was Charlie Harper his onscreen character. Anyway doesn't matter this quote should be the mantra of this site

Thanks all for the kind words and suggestions. Punting fulfilled/fulfils a basic bodily need as far as I'm concerned, so whilst I know some might think I'm a bit harsh, I can easily manage to separate romantic sexual activity with a good hard fuck elsewhere.

As regards the trip, I will probably end up using SA or similar (and exercising all due caution - I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid...). Reason being that the proposed destination (an island group in the middle of an ocean in the Southern Hemisphere) is not, so far as I'm aware, likely to have a lot of local WGs (unlike say Thailand), and besides, I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to my choice of ethnicity (yes, terribly boring, I know, but e.g. asian girls just don't do it for me).

But, thanks again for all the ideas

[Analist]

All the best Will and I hope you find a suitable playmate. I don't want to repeat what others have said, but would highly recommend a short trial run with the companion before going on the vacation.
Let me recount a couple of experiences I've had:
Case 1: I planned to take an English escort I'd seen a few times on a business trip with some extra days added on. She was game, but somehow we didn't get around to it. I only suggested it though because-
1) I knew well what she was like in the bedroom and we were very compatible there.
2) I had chatted enough with her to know her as a person and that we had similar interests.
3) I had read reviews of other trips she'd taken and knew what to expect.
Case 2: I was abroad for my birthday, booked a hotel and spent a long weekend with a local escort I knew. Great fun but it was a cycle of sex, eat, sleep. She didn't speak English, my knowledge of the local language was limited so communication was basic. By the second day I politely cut it short and spent the rest of the time on my own.
I guess the moral is you're not going to be fucking all day long. And if you're on a remote island holidaying and don't really enjoy your companion's company, it's going to get boring and frustrating. That's why I'd suggest a quick trip somewhere near first to give you an idea what it's like.

How do you protect privacy if you travel with a WG? I'm not sure there's an easy way to avoid knowing each other's real names...

First name basis (for you) is probably easy enough. But if you book the tickets, (the only sensible thing other than making her pay for her own) then you need to know her full details, age as per passport, d.o.b. and so on.

I’ve tried Analist’s 2nd option a few times. Find a local prossie you hit it off with and just have a several-day thing. There’s a few variations. One is she stays with you 24/7. Unfortunately most prossies are not that interesting as conversationalists for that length of time even if they speak English, but if she knows the city and can act as a guide it could be good for some (in theory). A better variation, at least for me from the times I’ve done this, is where she goes home to her own kennel during the day. For 24/7 sex for several days you’d need to be snorting coke (which can also be pleasant though not something I’ve done for many years now). It has risks of course. As do the other options.

It’s hard to recommend to the OP. We have no knowledge of where he plans to go although his budget sounds very adequate, or of his ability to finesse such deals rather than “trust her, she’s a hooker”. I wonder if he will report back and let us know how it goes?
