I've found that those pre-paid calling cards, while not great for the
value-conscious (typically they work out to around $.25 per minute) are
very handy on the road.  They are easier to carry than coins and really
help you out if you for some reason have to make a long-distance call
(which is certainly possible on a 3500 mile road trip).
