and sad it is Hamish, meeting you would have been a real highlight, but it is not to be

Are you gents using the same airport? Are your flights perfectly aligned as far as arrival and departure goes? Any overlap between arrival and departure?

Have you considered meeting in an airport lounge and lifting a stirrup cup with each other in passing?

It would be a damned crying shame for two friends from half the world apart to miss each other by minutes.

I sure hope you two can manage to meet even if it is only long enough for a hello, and abrazzo, and then farewell.
