Justin: Are you nearly packed?
Marsha: Almost. Let’s see, I have wall chargers for my cell phone and other devices, extra memory cards for my camera, and noise-canceling headphones for the airplane.
Justin: Oh, yeah, I forgot to pack my headphones. I’d better dig them out right now.
Marsha: I’ve also packed portable batteries for our devices in case we run out of power en route. I’ve also brought a power strip to use in our hotel room.
Justin: Why?
Marsha: Hotel rooms never have enough outlets.
Justin: That’s true. I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe I should bring one, too. Between the two of us, we have a lot of gadgets to plug in.
Marsha: And I’m bringing some cables in case we want to hook up our devices to the TV.
Justin: Don’t you think that’s overkill?
Marsha: Not at all. How else will we entertain ourselves for an entire week?
