Everyone,
I’m going to try to give an accurate step-by-step process that allowed me to see my Boston prompt; It was 7:10 pm and I had just responded to Cathy and Anne’s posts. By this time of night I usually have accepted the fact that I would be staying in my hotel and not go looking for any restaurants. Since I had no rental car it was even more certain that I would be staying in my hotel room.
Earlier that afternoon when I had checked into the hotel, the hotel clerk at the front desk had mentioned that there was a restaurant a short walk (turned out to be 500 feet) from the hotel. I was tired and had pretty much decided not to venture outside. It would be a vending machine of soda and granola bars for dinner this night.
But then for some reason I finally did get the urge to go
![scratch :scratch:](./images/smilies/icon_scratch.gif)
. The urge also came after I started wondering if I was going to see a prompt on this Boston trip. Then as I’m walking to the restaurant, I couldn’t help but shake my head over the fact that here I was doing the very thing that I had decided not to do
![Duh! :duh](./images/smilies/icon_headbanger.gif)
. After walking for a while I saw the restaurant in front of me and it really was a big place. While I’m walking thru the parking lot I pass this large tour bus. I walked along the right side of the bus and then as I passed the front of the bus I started to walk diagonally toward the front of the restaurant.
Then I get this urge to stop and I start getting some negative thoughts about my continuing, I start thinking that it is really late, the place must be full because of all the cars, it looks like rain and I may get caught in a down pour on my way back to the hotel. So, I stop and turn around and start thinking about what I’m going to do next. By this time I’m also a little annoyed at myself for walking all this way and now thinking these stupid thoughts of why I should now turn around and go back to the hotel.
When I stopped and turned my head to look back the way I had come, the left side of the bus comes into view and I found myself kind of scanning it from the back of the bus to the front and then as I look up above the drivers window I see 11’ 11’’ which is the height of the bus.

Yes, even after all this time I can still be surprised. I started thinking about all the factors that once again came into play so that I could see the prompt.
If the rethinking of my decision about going outside had not occurred, then if I had not stopped in the parking lot at that exact spot and turned around when I did, I would not have seen the numbers stating the height of the bus.
Well, at that point I returned to the hotel for one good reason. That was to get my camera so I could document the prompt. ( Yes, 500 feet back to the hotel). Then when I got my camera I went back to the bus and took a picture of the bus and my prompt.
Our friends worked mighty hard to get me to see this one. My second reward was that I did go into the restaurant and eat my baked salmon and rice meal and then return to my hotel.
I can assume and I also believe that my actions were influenced. For me this was the strongest example of being led to be in the right place at the right time to experience a prompt. I just had to get this post written. I will post the picture when I get back home this weekend.
Peace and Love to all
Nick
