We are in the middle of a moderate size trip now (Chicago --> New Jersey 
and return). Found packing not to be a problem. Our best is 2 small 
expanding suitcases (two zippers   unzip to triple the initial size) and 
any other carry-on type bag (viz: backpack)  No need to buy expensive 
fitted luggage.  A beach bag for the rear deck can hold cold stuff, 
thermos, fruit, whatever.

One point- on a long, hot day, exposure can become a problem (the more so 
on a multi-day trip); so even though I hate to put the top up, discretion 
suggests you'll have a more enjoyable trip if the 4 or 5 hottest hours of 
the day you give in to comfort and enclose (withj a/c on).

More when we return: we  had a flat and now have two different tread 
tires on rear. Details and questions to follow.
