What two people would you want as around-the-world travel companions?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! You don’t have to travel far, though; it’s just nearer to the bottom of the page.
. . .here are my thoughts.
What two people would you want as around-the-world travel companions?
Imagine a man (call him Adem) who dated a girl (let’s say Blare). They engaged in that most intimate of acts, but ultimately the relationship didn’t pan out. Some years later, Adem’s brother (Mat, maybe) ends up marrying Blare. Adem marries another lady (how ‘bout Kristina). Adem’s father and Kristina’s mother (their names don’t matter) wed one another as each of their 2nd marriages. This would mean—if I’m getting it right—not only did Adem sleep with his sister-in-law, but he’s now married to his step-sister. The dynamics on the Modern Family sitcom were reasonable, but this [completely fictionalized] set of circumstances seems too far-fetched even for the movies. If Adem bought 3 airline tickets to travel the world with 1) his father’s step-daughter, and 2) his father’s daughter-in-law, Adem and Kristina would always have any empty middle seat. If we say Kristina has multiple personality disorder [this part really is made up], then it’d be like traveling with at least a 3rd person. Anyway, my around-the-world travel companions would include: 1) my wife, Phoebe, and 2) whoever’s willing to pay all the bills . . . Hi, Mom!
After long consideration I would take 1.) my dad and 2.) my mom. I would choose my dad because he is very punctual. If the flight takes off at say 7:00 he would make sure to give us enough time to check in and still be there at least 15-20 minutes early. That in turn would take a lot of stress off us if say we get held up in security or something. On the other had I would also take my mom because she is always very prepared. She thinks of stuff to bring that no one else would. Get a bloody nose? she has tissues. Get hungry? she has granola in her carry on. She also would help me pack to make sure I have everything I need for the trip. But of course if my parents and I are going on a trip I would have to bring a third person… My brother… I guess. 🙂
We’ll allow it. But he gets the middle seat on the plane. You get an upgrade to first class, obviously.
Between Covid and getting a Passport, you had better start now for the end of 2022.
Hi Brad. When do we go?
Shit! I’d need a passport first.
