Meet Travel Guy #1 and Travel Guy #2

Let me tell you about the 2 guys i'm spending my time in new york with :

Travel Guy #1
I worry about him. I call him "spacecadet" for all the legit reasons in the world. I often tell him all the drugs he did at uni fried his brain so much, he lives in perpetual space. .. i mean Space with a capital S. Yes that place very far away. You see Travel Guy #1 has a long history of getting into trouble while travelling. I've never met a person who gets detained/searched/questioned at immigration as much as he does. His passport photo is like a gleaming mugshot on show, no one will let him thru the barriers based on that photo. Travel Guy #2 and I have this on-going bet that when we get to new york (12 hours later than Travel Guy #1), we won't find him there. He'll be either holed up somewhere at JFK and getting detained or he would have missed his gawdamn connecting flight in thailand. God help us.


Travel Guy #2
I worry less about this one. He is so far rather responsible. However his flight route to New York is rather, how shall i say this ... long-winded. Smartarse Travel Guy #2 have accumulated gazillion frequent flyer miles he can travel the globe on points while the rest of us fork up the zeros for a plane ticket. However the catch with going that route is the Red Kangaroo won't fly you direct. Travel Guy #2 has a long trip ahead of him to new york city. I fear that he might suffer horrendous timezone confusion and miss his join-the-dots connecting flights. That or my second guess, he met his Harajuka Girl under a cherry blossom tree and forgot about us.

If we all make it there in one piece, we'll be rock'in the free world. Can't wait.
