It would be easy to be a guide if everything went well. It never does and Brent is great at adapting to the situation.  On that basis he is The Best.  Unfortunately, other things come into play.  I find I know far more about his personal life than I need to.  I would perfer it if he joined the group on at least some of our excursions, I don't think he joined us at any of them.  At Roben Island he stayed in Cape Town and trusted one of the group with all the tickets.
