Before the engine starts, the real adventure begins—in the trunk. My Packing & Gear section is your road-tested guide to traveling smarter, lighter, and more prepared. Whether you’re loading up for a cross-country journey or just trying to keep snacks, swimsuits, and sunscreen in check, you’ll find checklists, favorite finds, and honest reviews right here. From kid-approved travel gadgets to the bags that actually fit in your car, I’ve got your backseat (and your backseat organizers) covered.
