what do ya know?!

NOT MUCH! Sooo...I have just been listening to Michael Feldman's "What do you know?" on NPR. I LOVE that show. It's the type of humor and exchange that I get. Plus it's based in wisconsin and has all these references that I can understand after living there...like the Illinois jokes... I can't wait to listen to prairie home companion tomorrow morning... Does anyone else love these shows too??

Anyway...I want to solicit some advice...if anyone is reading this....
Since I'm going on this roadtrip, I'm wondering if anyone has input on the one thing (or things) I should not forget to take with me. Any ideas?? I haven't gone on a trip like this before...so think real hard about this and help me out!

Thanks!
