First Step: Car Rental

So, I booked a Toyota Camry at Hertz for a month from July 21. The full-size vehicle gets about 32 miles per gallon on the highway (which we will be traveling most of the time), compared with 35 for the Corolla (which was my initial choice). With thousands of miles to cover, the Camry was the logical choice, and I will pick it up Wednesday from the JFK lot.

Now, for the next two days, I must prepare items to bring.
