- Here is what I packed for my family's 7 hour road trip down to Maine. We were driving down in our the Tesla 3, and space was limited so we needed to pack efficiently and keep the inside of the car organized.
In this video, I'll share my packing tips and tricks as well as my road trip essentials to make any road trip more comfortable. I'll also cover what to bring for a 10 day-long beach vacation.

Anyone else binge watching traveling videos
Yup
I am!!!!!
I pack a lunchbox for everyone in my family too and love it! No more asking for snacks or "I'm hungry" along the way, and better control on what they eat. Just restock at the end of the day and you're all set.
This is by far the best packing video I've seen so organised, enjoy your holiday 🌺
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback. Have a great day.
Agreed the best!
Thank you. I’m impresario with you. All the stuff you could fit in there. Skills! And it was done nicely and neat and not just thrown in and zipped up. I need to see what’s next - I’m here to stay
Thank you and welcome to my channel. Appreciate the compliment. I've become somewhat of an expert packer over the years. I travel a lot for work. LOL
Great video! Nice and clear.
Thank you so much!
What an amazing video! Very informative and easy to follow. What do you do if you forget something?
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. It was a real pain to film this video. I was trying to leave for my trip and I was filming myself packing while the kids were interrupting me every 5 minutes. LOL. To answer you question, if I forget something I go to a store and buy it down there but with the exchange being so high for us Canadians, it's better to pack as much from home as possible.
@@AlexgoesCoconuts Ha ha! I know the feeling. Anyway, you gave me some great ideas for how to prepare for my next trip :)
Wonderful packing video. Minimal without lacking necessary items, organized, and a great tutorial to model. I hope to model your organization as I plan our families next trip.
Do you mind sharing where you got your toiletry bags? I really liked how much you were able to fit in yours and it didn’t seem too bulky. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I got my toiletry bag at Winners several years ago. I tried looking for a similar product on Amazon and was unable to find one that fit that many products. I did just purchase myself a new toiletry bag from Bagsmart. It fits just as many products, has a clear window to see products and a hook to hang on the bathroom door. Here is the link if you are interrested: Bagsmart Toiletry Bag: amzn.to/3moBBpm (paid link). Hope that helps. Have a great trip!
Good luck with your baby goats! Kids are baby goats.
LOL, They are baby goats...they eat everything in sight!
I dont travel but I have change to go New Jersey from Arizona for a month every year of August. This one best videos I seen very organized too
Thank you so much! Appreciate it!
@@AlexgoesCoconuts your welcome
My suitcase just has like a big strap inside of it
All suitcases are made differently! I’m sure you can still fit a lot in there
My whole family is from Maine. So we were gonna try to go up to Maine this year but we can’t because of everything going on.
I know right! It is crazy. We're from Canada and the border is still closed so we can forget any foreign travel. Don't know if I would drive down even if it was open with all the cases going up. I'm planing a staycation in July with the kids. Just doing activities at home. It's going to be a long year for sure.
Alex goes Coconuts Sounds fun. Me and family are taking a trip to Virginia and staying at a family members house.
@@amberlane4071 That sounds amazing! At least it will feel like a vacation. Have fun!
Alex goes Coconuts Thank you!
I like your beach bag! Where did you buy it?
I got it a few years ago. I don’t think you can find it anymore. Sorry 😐
What brand of suitcase is that blue one with the hard cover?
It is a Swiss Gear Suitcase. I got mine at Costco but here is a link for it on Amazon: amzn.to/3yueuwR (paid link)
Thank you!
@@0mfgeeze No problem ;)
How old are your kids?
When this was filmed, they were 8 and 12 y.o. but that was two years ago. They grow up too fast!
