Ruth and I met at PDX at about 6:30 AM on 9/20/2011. We left on time, but on the way to Houston I realized that I had left the battery to my noise blocking earphones plugged in at home. Oh, well the earphones themselves served the purpose without the battery. In the airport at Houston I noticed a BEST BUY kiosk selling electronics and accessories, so I bought a set of ear buds. We got on the plane and the first thing they did was hand out ear buds………..free! Now I have 2 sets of ear buds and my non-functioning earphones. Once we got to our London hotel and we were unpacking, I discovered I had packed my Bose ear buds (thinking I had decided to just take the earphones). Now I have 3 sets of them. The first day in London we took the Hop On/Hop Off bus so that we could sit and orient ourselves. They handed us a set of ear buds, so now I have 4 sets. I guess you can never had too many!
