Good call by Tom there. Another choice is to whip down to your local 
appliance dealer and see if they have an old sheet of styrofoam from 
their white-ware packing. It's really light for moving around and 
best of all-- free, but just don't get caught out on a windy day!

You are now boarding styrofoam airways!

All the best,
Gary
