Don't be such a big girls blouse
Look like you have every [non punting] reason to be there
I doubt very much if the people in the car park were remotely interested
You are just thinking they are
Its like walking past a hotel reception
The key is to be confident
Best to have good directions to whichever room it is
So you look like you know where you are going
And don't be holding two mobiles !
Get your big boy pants on & try again
Been on my HL for a while. I did have a booking agreed but bottled it when I got there. The car park was full of people - presumably back Packers and several white vans- all full with people peering out at me! So I felt more than a little conspicuous so texted her and did a disappearing act. Did I just get a bad day?. It's a relatively small place so I didn't feel I could just drift in unnoticed as you often can.
MM clearly ok from your perspective - did I miss a trick?
