    Hey all! :)

    I'm traveling with a new car and two additional travelers than usual this year! :)

    I googled and my car (G6 GT) has 14 cubic feet of storage in the trunk.

    We are bringing:
    1) A Navy sea bag
    2) The Air Force equivalent of the above
    3) A large upright suitcase
    4) A small carry on with wheels.
    5) A diaper bag
    6) A stroller
    7) My huge purse
    8) and recently added to the list..... a large upright suitcase


    The navy sea bag and air force bag are both flexible and can be shaped. The two suitcase and carry on with wheels are not flexible. The stroller folds about 5 inches shy of flat.

    In the past I have fit two large suitcases, 2 carry ons with wheels and my purse in the trunk with no issues.

    I figure worse comes to worst I can just put the stroller or a suitcase in the vacant seat in the backseat

    The last possible solution is to take daddy's car which is a Jeep Patriot. I'm assuming there is more storage space in it.


    Thoughts/recommendations?

    BWI. It's always wayyyyy cheaper than here in Atlantic city or Philly. Newark sometimes isn't bad but BWI is usually the cheapest.

    My thing is.... my sons carseat is in the middle so I can't put a seat down. :(
    I have a sedan.
