I admit, I've been lurking in this thread, trying to decide what to write. I've been a bit of a specialist in long distance relationships. As an abstinent (but self-pleasing) teenager, I found the letter-writing, aim-chat-sexing, occasional phone conversation route especially appealing. The emotional support and intellectual connectionsthat we made during our times apart morphed into some pretty powerful life-long connections. As an adult, when I finally fulfilled those fantasies with some of those men, the fantasy I had imagined was invariably more rewarding than the reality, and thus the friendships began.
Now, my husband. We spend weeks and months apart occasionally for our work (but only in developed nations. Never experienced that filthy-scruff you describe.). I follow a pattern not unlike the one described by our female friend above, though I do skip the exciting lingere bit. The car ride is about catching up and chatting. When we get back to our place, it's a race to the bedroom.
Never underestimate the power of freshening up on a plane. Brushing teeth, applying makeup and perfume are a must. In your case, shaving might be a plus. If you have a multi-leg flight, you can purchase these necessities during a layover and freshen up in a bathroom there, rather than the cramped restrooms of a plane.
Our first kiss in an airport is invariably preceeded by a hugging twirl. Any oddness in the kiss is made irrelevant by any " awww" from observers.
