There are going to be times on the road when I'll need to hunker down and just relax... sitting in a hotel room... after dinner at a campsite... or waiting out a rainstorm in the tent.

The iPad will be packed for just this kind of situation, and in addition to a custom iTunes playlist, it will be loaded up with several movies.
