Thanks George. A helpful list to be sure. Probably by the time I do all of this my vacation will be over and I'll have run out of time to take my trip biggrin.gif I'll be sure to get a cigar so I can check the cigar lighter, although here in the Bay Area it's not likely to be a cigar that will be getting lit...
