I bought a CG lock, so will probably install that and give it a go. I hope that will help keep me in my seat a bit more.

Packing the car up will be interesting too. I have never taken a trip like this before in any car really. I am thankful for my shortness, as I have a decent amount of space behind my seat to pack stuff into as well, haha. I am also going to try and pack up some of my hula hoops, so if you see someone walking around the hotel with hoops, it's probably me.

After a few trips you learn how to pack efficiently. I've been doing this for sooooo many trips that each time I get better at it. Now for Patty, there is still a learning curve. How many walking shoes and sandels does one person need for two weeks on the road.

I was able to pack what I need for a four week trip with no problem.

I am impressed! Looks like you made use of the trunk to its fullest potential. I do not think mine will be nearly as organized!
