Hi Teacup:  We always travel with audio books.  I have an adapter so we can use dual earphones on an airplane, s tiny set of speakers we use in our Stateroom and an FM adapter so I can attach the MP3 player to the car radio, so we are covered no matter how we are traveling.  Love unwinding aboard ship with a couple of chapters of a good &quot;book&quot; before we call it a night.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Joey, Thanks for your input on the Ryndam.  In the past I&#39;ve always known which ship I wanted to do the Group Cruise on, but this year I&#39;m really up in the air, perhaps because I&#39;ve just returned from the last one.<br /><br />MaryLou:  What do you hear from Crazie??<br /><br />Later,<br />
