My mother always taught me to roll my clothes to conserve space. But what she didn’t teach me is how to roll a camping stove, tent, sleeping bags, books, tennis rackets, kitchenware, suitcases and more in a ‘lil red ‘05 Pontiac Vibe.

Somehow we managed to squeeze it all in and even managed to close the doors with one big ‘umph!’ It looked like an overstuffed closet, ready to burst open and spill out its contents. But somewhere the electric blue cooler, the vintage ivory alarm clock, countless trinkets and two bikes were piled high – it was like the sequel to Herby: Fully Loaded.

As promised, we were sure to pack some laughs and the job got done with a smile.
