So, while waiting for my car to get the oil changed yesterday, I started making a roadtrip list: things I'll want in the car in case of emergency. I've never taken a trip like this as an adult, so let me know what I'm missing.


bug repellent
sunscreen
cooler
water bottles
handi-wipes
mending kit
swiss army knife
corkscrew/bottle opener (if not in swiss army knife)
detergent in plastic bag
toilet paper
wrench (in case I need to change a tire)
jack (already in the trunk with the pare)
handkerchief or bandana
towels
tapes and cds


I think that a small cutting board will be useful, and I'm tempted to pack a sheet in the bottom of the luggage, just in case. But what else should I take?

well, this is a fun way to come back to lj. I love lists. Maybe suggesting something for you will help me try to get though all the old ljs that I need to catch up on. I'm so far back, and it's only been a weekend or so....
Kleenex? (So's you don't have to blow your nose on tp in public) (but you probably already have this in the car)
Straws (easier to drink from than straight from the bottle)
Gorp (or do you hate it? anyway...something that you can munch on if the need hits so that you don't have to stop if it's inconvenient)
Do you have flares or those reflective triangles in your trunk already?
Hmm, my ideas are petering out...I have a feeling that there is much more, though - little, annoying things that will only strike you once it's way too late,a nd you're stranded somewhere in Saskatchewan (wow. I spelled that correctly the first time around. I wouldn't have said I was capable of such a feat!)
It is all tremendously exciting. Oh. Do you have a camera to record this for posterity? I would call that essential.

We just bought a digital camera. Now I need to figure out (a) how it works and (b) how to post pictures on the internet.

Nice to see you--how have you been?
