We're getting ready for the big trip and one of the things that I thought might help was some vehicular organization. The packing for this trip is much different than our usual outings, so I've had to re-think how and what I pack. I ordered one of these "Backseat Valets" that are made especially for SUV's and bigger vehicles. It should keep a lot of those pesky, smaller items off the floor, giving us more room for our suitcases and a cooler.
I also ordered an organizer/storage bin that fits between the girls two car-seats. It actually clips into the unused middle seatbelt so that it can't slide off. It can hold drinks, snacks, coloring supplies, books, etc. and the top zips closed and has raised sides to hold crayons and other items in place. I think it will work perfectly!
The weather is also going to be issue, since we are going as far South as Oklahoma and as far North as Calgary, Alberta (Canada). Did you know they are over 1700 miles apart? In fact, we'll be traveling almost 6,000 miles round-trip, not including our time in Seattle and other jaunts off the main itinerary. Let's hope our Yukon XL is up to the challange!
Anyway, most of our travel will be during the Summer months so the temps should be more consistent, but you never know! We have to pack swimming gear, hot weather gear, hiking gear, rain gear, cool weather layers, etc. and all for a 17 day trip! Hopefully we'll be able to find some laundry facilities along the way! :) This is going to be interesting, to say the least.....
