| - I recently visited Charlotte. I am a bit rusty when it comes to travelling to the States these days. I felt that I had forgotten to pack something. Sadly, I was correct.
Normally, I am fine when it comes to my cell phone being fully charged. On the plane, there was no USB port. I had a portable battery, but it wasn't fully charged, either.
I got into my rental car. It had a USB port. Devices do not charge as fast using that port than getting a car charger with a USB port.
It felt like sudden death. I needed my map app to work on my phone to get me to TGI Fridays for lunch. The downside was that my phone was down to 12% battery life.
I saw this CVS store and pulled in. I had to use the washroom. It was clean.
I managed to snap a photo of the press-on nails there. I needed to get some for a colleague, so I did a quick look and then moved on to the phone accessories section.
I walked in and got a pink USB car charger. Yep, my phone decided to power down while I was in line. There were two customers ahead of me trying to get their questions answered.
When I finally got to the cash register, the woman helping me was sweet. She was an older woman. She asked whether I had a points card. I didn't. I asked how I could sign up. She pressed a few places on her screen, swung it around, and asked me to fill in my details. Nice!
I got my USB car charger, went back to my car, and got my cell phone charged up at a decent level before I got lunch at the restaurant. I was thrilled.
This USB car charge is now a permanent fixture in my luggage.
