The gloves are a cool idea--I hadn't thought of that. And the candles--I'll definitely bring a couple. Apparently a single candle will keep and entire car warm.

(Yes, any trip over a hundred miles means I pack like I'm going to be marooned in Antarctica the rest of my life, how did you guess?)

Well, as this is a trip of 4,000 miles, I think I'd better plan on disaster of some kind.
