“The last kind of airport kiss is the co-traveler kiss. These are actually the best. I mean, you write poems and songs about departure kisses, and arrival kisses give you that wild adrenaline burst, but co-traveler kisses are still the best in the long run. These occur between two people who have set off on a journey together. Either they’re kissing because they’re happy to be leaving together, happy to be arriving together, or happy to be on their way, but there’s always a shared complicity and a shared excitement in co-traveler kisses that you just don’t find in other kinds of kisses. You’re kissing in a setting that’s different, you’re kissing in the midst of a journey, and a journey shared with someone you want to kiss is usually a journey worth taking.

I hope we always have those co-traveler kisses…
