Trip T minus 3 sleeps and counting

Only 3 more sleeps until we head off on our trip getting very close now.

To continue on from yesterday. I also picked up some other gadgetry for the trip away before my flight down yesterday, as set of JVC HA-NC80 noise cancelling headphones. I was impressed at how well they work on the plane. In "Wide" mode (which is the mode best suited to plane flight) they do an excellent job of blocking out the din of the plane flight. Switching on the noise cancelling doesn't make you feel like your in a cave deep beneath the earth we a sound hasn't penetrated for thousands of years, but the effect is great. After having them on for a while you start to notice more of the noise that they aren't cancelling but as soon  as you pull one of the can's off your head to talk to the flight attendant the noise from the flight it hits you like the first chord of a Muse concert. The most impressive statistic is the cost RRP AUD$80 for this level of cancelling is great. The quality of the sound reproduction is also impressive for the price. An excellent buy for the price and gives you excellent cancelling so you don't have to have the volume at eardrum rupturing teenage Emo levels just to hear what's going on.

The other gadgets I picked up yesterday were an iPod Camera adapter to give me plenty of storage while we're away. Simple little plug for the bottom of your ipod lets you plug the usb cable from you camera into the iPod and transfer all the data in one foul swoop. Along with that I picked up a universal iPod charger so I can keep it charged while we're away for 6 weeks.
