That's going in there??!

When we started thinking about this, we were trying to figure out how to combine our love of camping with our love of our Miatae, AKA LILred. It wasn't an easy task! With the exception of the red fabric that is laying on the sofa, everything else is going on the trip. It may be hard to believe but everything pictured there fits in the trunk. We did make some changes to our regular camping gear, meaning we are just taking the absolute essentials. We bought a few smaller sized items to lighten what we were taking. All of this needs to fit in this area right here.

Now we already know that it will, but we did have an idea yesterday that may allow us to take a few more items with us. We aren't going to know how it works out until the day we pack the car which is two days away, but we purchased Spacesacks from Bed, Bath and Beyond.

The pros are that it made the bedding and the pillows very small. The cons right now are if they get nicked that will pretty much end the bag and of course another con is we really won't know how they fit until the day we pack up the car which is two days away. We are really hoping that they work. It will allow us to take a few more dry food items along with us.

So, now your probably asking about clothing and the fact that I mentioned food where all that is going to go. Got all that figured out as well. As for cold food, the Miata has a package tray. We have 2 six pack coolers that sit very nicely behind our Hard Dog Deuce roll bar. As for the clothing, well we figured that one out as well. Mike had a brilliant idea of using a wet bag...the only thing is that the ones we looked at would have been a pain to get anything out of, so he came up with this.


This is a wet bag that is more like a suitcase than a duffle. He liked it because it will allow us to be able to get to either sets of clothing with a little bit more ease. We are lucky enough to have the luggage rack on the back of our car so this will work perfectly. We naturally can't pack our whole wardrobe so we will only have changes of clothing for 3 days plus what we are wearing for a total of four which will require at least one stop for washing depending on how long we are gone, but it's all good. We're going!


So, watch as we begin the next few days to document our trip to Key West on our quest for fun!
