There's a woman I met on a travel forum that's 75 and been to Lucca several times. She's going to be over there when I am. Do you think we've connected over here first? There's some generation gap of behavior going on as I gave her my cell phone number but she won't give me her landline number and have a conversation. She will communicate via e-mail and is asking me to find her over in Lucca after I arrive at her hotel. She doesn't have a cell phone and won't have internet access. She is asking me to call her hotel when I arrive. I am not anticipating meeting her over there. I let her know it was all a little daunting as it's my first trip, I am on my own and it's overwhelming.
I honestly have no idea how to communicate with this person and get the impression she wants to keep a distance.
