Packing light goes far
Monday, August 25th, 2008Anna Maike from Ladysmith, Vancouver Island shares her strategy for a "green" getaway:
This summer I took myself, my three kids, and a babysitter to the Island’s Folk Festival and camped in a Toyota Yaris. We strapped foamies and a tent on the roof, and everything else fit in the car. We sat on our pillows with the kids’ backpacks at their feet. We didn’t pack food since we were fed as performers. Comfortably compact, I was so proud when I left my co-workers to climb into their giant trucks with the 3-bedroom "camping" rancher towing. I only spent about four bucks on gas and had plenty to spend on vendor food.
