If I had a good place I'd certainly share. There used to be one right on Duval street down by the old chicken rescue place (also gone now), and it most certainly had a reputation, but I don't think it would be fair to call it "reputable".

If you haven't used packing cubes, they can revolutionize the way you pack. They help save space and keep things organized in your suitcase and while traveling. This set of Amazon Basics packing cubes is a nice set and less than $20. Eagle Creek and Ebags also make good sets.
Oh, and Echo Dots are on sale for $30 right now:

If anyone is looking for a gift for me, a big bottle of bourbon would be fine. Maybe some Henry McKenna, I'm not too awful picky.
I'll put in a request.
Request # 1 - decent, but inexpensive bluetooth earphones. I use these at night, watching TV on my phone while everybody else sleeps. I love one pair that I have but I like to use them when I am jogging, and right now, I have misplaced one set of bluetooth headsets I purchased some time ago, and I have misplaced the charging cord for the otherone, so I am down to my "sport" earbuds only.
Example: These are the bluetooth headphones I use for running. Right now, I use them for everything. I love these. Very comfortable, and they stay in. Bought in July, so far, so good.

These are the ones I bought in February. I do not know where they are. I went to LaGrange, spent the night, and thought they were in my overnight bag. I think they may have been left in the hotel.

Ideally, I do not want to spent $30 for decent headsets like this, although it was worth it.
Request # 2 - decent, but inexpensive, wired, BULK earbuds. My son wears them practically all the time. And goes through several sets in several months. We're always buying more. I'd like to buy about two dozen earbuds just for him, that are decent. I have seen the "bag-o-earbuds" Amazon sells, and every time I look into it, there are too many people talking about how many of them are bad. I'm probably the only person in the market for these.
Darrell, these Anker earbuds (currently on sale for $18.99 on a flash sale on Amazon) are the ones Mrs. BEvans and I use:

I have a problem with earbuds staying in while I'm exercising/doing chores, but these stay in very well for me. Mrs. BEvans runs and she says they stay in very well for her, too.
The thing that sold me on them (besides being an Anker product--I like their stuff) was there's an 18-month warranty, so if they started flaking out I could return them. But that hasn't been an issue.
Love Anker products, but I missed the deal. Now $25.99. I was just too slow on the punch, which is ok. I don't have an immediate need anyway.

I just got the Samsung gear 2 watch and really like it. Had a fit bit Alta til I lost it. The Samsung is a huge upgrade. Picked up some HDMX SPORT CRAZE wireless Bluetooth headphone from best buy for $180 And am super pleased. Has the sleep, exercise, steps, etc and I can listen to music while I pretend to run

I've gotta find that heated vest thread again.
