[at-l] OT: Need road trip planning help

[Steve Landis]

Well this is probably not what you were going for but since you'll be 
spending a lot of time in a car or something like a car... I alway have 
a long wooden back scratcher; a couple of those elastic resistance bands 
in the vehicle to get a little exercise at stops; a sponge ball or two 
to squeeze while I'm driving; and a subscription to Sirius Radio.  But 
that's just me.
