Family Packing Disorders

I have finally found a vehicle that can accomodate our family on our next road trip (see picture). No, there are not 20 people in the family, there are 5, but we have a packing disorder.

On our road excursion, we went on an overnight trip. Technically we would be gone for 22.5 hours. Anyway, for that sojourn we filled a Yukon XL to the rafters. I was beside myself in disbelief.

I thought that there must be something that we could have done to pare back the stuff that we "had" to bring, but as it turns out everything was essential.

I knew that when I lost the argument on why we needed to bring a toaster oven, that arguing on other "necesseties" such as an exercise treadmill, garden hose, and a high chair would be fruitless.

To avoid future diagreements, I plan to rent Chevy Passenger Coach pictured above for our next road trip. It seats 28 people with normal luggage amounts. It should suffice for our family of 5. We could even bring a lawn mower "just in case".

Maybe one day we call all be like my cousin Betty. All she packs is some paint.
