I don't read or listen to music while travelling - too much to see, taste, do. Plenty of time to read at home. On the plane, I would rather watch free movies - savings on movie tickets which cost an arm and leg back home. On land transport, will sock in all the scenery, plus will get sick if I read. In the hotel, will watch local TV just to see what strange programs are on.H2Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-4838811917795298742015-05-19T08:38:54.301+01:002015-05-19T08:38:54.301+01:00@Big D; get a kindle and load it with 1000 books?@Big D; get a kindle and load it with 1000 books?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-44765797702951564032015-05-18T22:49:46.138+01:002015-05-18T22:49:46.138+01:00Hi Big D,

And money for the bus/train ticket. I only ever travelled between mum's place in Murray Bridge and dad's place in Port Pirie.<br />Now I'm older and don't travel, but I use the bus to get across town and my kindle comes in handy for that. I used it on the plane to and from Perth as well. I find I don't use my Ipod as much as I used to.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-64139317235342319232015-05-17T18:24:54.408+01:002015-05-17T18:24:54.408+01:00Hi MoM,
