20.25 Home! Ravel has given way to Handel, and I am about to unpack my Travelpro Hip Gigsters' Airplane Wheelie. This device has revolutionised my life as a travelling Hip Gigster. Along with the Samsonite Hip Gigsters' Wheelie Suitcase. A knapsack, which is attached to either the Travelpro or my back, carries The Very Cool Hip Gigsters' Noisebuster Headphones. Not only do these sample and eliminate the constant hum of jet engines (or any other constant sound source) but they plug into inflight entertainment systems and make the classical music worth hearing; and enable a Very Cool Hip Gigster to actually hear the soundtrack of any censored film (I'm back in England, and have left movies, censored or otherwise, in the US) they may like to view.

Beaton Towers:

A small additional piece of equipment I rarely carry inflight nowadays is The Insufferably & Excrutiatingly Cool Hip Gigster Sony Pocketman Equaliser. This enables me, or any other I&ECHG thus equipped, to transform the sonic quality of even modern digital inflight sound delivery. An exceptionally cool (and hip) feature of the Noisebuster is to not sample out discontinuous sound. So, the Inflight Happy & Experienced Gigster continues to hear announcements and people speaking to them.

And I'm home! Witless & Slightly UnpaKced so here I go to complete the final stage of the travelling process: tidying, clearing and leaving my kit ready to be pressed back into action in nine days' time.
