The trip draws near

With just over three weeks to go, last minute planning has begun. We discovered that the leased car does not in fact have roof bars, so our cargo carrier of choice won't work. The rear mounted saddlebag is also out, as the taillights on the car are 4 inches too close together and the bag won't fit between them. We found an alternate roof top carrier that clips to the door frame. It will arrive tomorrow from Amazon and we will load four suitcases in it and see if they fit!

Fingers crossed!
