Road Trip (Part 2)

So, ever since I got that idea of going on a road trip after SPM, I've been pouring out ideas adding to the plan. I kinda thought up of going in a van (in the possibility we can't get a VW bus). The one with at least 7 seats and a lot of room for stuff. Have it tuned and ready for a haul. Make sure the radio and air-conditioning works.
And then I thought about the stuff we're gonna bring. I thought we could save money and cook our own food when there's a chance. Pack up some bricks and wire mesh to use as a grill, a torch lighter, some coal. Not forgetting grilling utensils. Fishing gear, since it would mostly be a beach trip, we could find a place we could fish off the shore and grill the catch. A few portable lawn chairs, in case there aren't any on the beach. Basic beach gear, a towel, blanket, radio, shades n stuff.
In the case of not finding an affordable place to sleep, camping gear might come useful. Tent, flashlights, bug repellent. Also serves as a changing room for anyone who feels weird bout changing in public. Money is important, a waterproof wallet should do a good job. Emergency credit/ATM card in the van.
I suggest pack really light for clothing, probably about 5 or 6 changes of clothes, swim wear, some warm clothing too.
Other than that, just live out the trip without a worry.
