      I thought about getting an ECHO - but with all the other tech junk in the house,.. I don't know that we needed..

      Are you planning to take it with you to Spain?

        No, NOTHING extra is going to Spain. Nothing. I'll be using the office laptop, a tiny Nikon that we bought just for traveling, the iPad Mini and the GoPro will be the extent of my technology beyond my phone. We have moving "in luggage" so nothing even remotely unnecessary can come with us. Even our clothing has to be cut down to the absolute bare necessities.

          I wondered - If you need a place to store it while you are gone,.. there is a empty spot in my office
          😜

            Sadly, we shipped it to New York (where we will be passing through this summer briefly) because we were told that it was going to ship late (after we had left Texas.) But instead, it shipped early. So it is going to be in storage in NY until summer when we pick it up and bring it down to Houston where the plan is to have it set up in our bedroom here to use mostly as a bluetooth speaker.

                        seems like a neat idea. Dash told me about it. that's a gadget i'm not terribly interested in.

                            I bought one, I'm still not sure on the idea of it. Haven't decided if I will cancel it or not yet.

                              It may just end up being a Bluetooth speaker in my kitchen but I am hoping it will be useful to me at least somewhat.

                                Yeah, now that is something that just won't be of any use to me, or at least so far hasn't been.
                                I was given a a Beats Pill BT speaker last year. I've used it all of once.

                                  we only have one Bluetooth speaker in the house and we fight over it. So another one will be nice if nothing else.

                                    We use BlueTooth speakers quite often. And with it able to stream music and other audio material on its own without a device attached it will be that much better. I anticipate using it as a computer while in bed in the dark. I'm hoping that it handles Audible well.

                                        These types of devices scare me a little. at least it's made by amazon rather than a data mining company like google.

                                            That's why I am comfortable with it. Google doesn't worry me much, but Amazon very little.
