So the road trip is approaching. I have gotten rid of most things that I won't need. I have not been able to get the things I'm taking down to two bags. It's more like a small suitcase, a 40 L pack, a 15 L day pack, and a laptop bag. Plus a few boxes. It seems like too much but I don't see what I can eliminate. In addition, I will need to take a few things from the kitchen. Ugh.

I know we discussed how to wash dishes during a road trip, but I don't really understand the process. Let's say I have a bowl in which I can wash my dishes. I would fill it up with water from tap in a rest area. I would add a bit of soap to the water. I would wash the dishes. I would end up with dirty soapy water. I will need to rinse the dishes that will also be soapy at that point. Let's say I pour the dirty water out, and then fill the bowl up again. Now as soon as I rinse the first item, the water will be soapy again. If I have multiple items, it will be very tedious to refill the bowl each time, and also it will use up more water than I'd like. How do you approach this problem?
