As we prepare for the first Search for America Tour of 2009, I’m rounding up the electronic devices necessary, or perceived to be necessary, to make this effort a success. This includes:

1. Updating our TomTom GPS to the latest software.
2. Rounding up batteries, SD cards, etc, for our camera.
3. Gathering phone chargers. Including the one for the Jitterbug.
4. Making sure the Sprint Wireless access card is handy.

All the above will be lovingly and meticulously packed into the gypsy’s Tom Binh backpack later on today.

Then we’re down to the grossest of the gross travel necessities; skivvies, toiletries, duds, and the like. This trip, I’m taking advantage of MLB’s semi-retired status to handle the packing of these.

So, three short but intense workdays, a trip to IAD to pickup the rental chariot on Thursday, and then, we ride.
