There seems to be a need for everyone to find ways to pack every last little
nook & cranny in the Miata for a trip of more than a few days.  I guess Anne
and I will find out more about this when we take Kansei to Canada for a
couple weeks in late Sept/early Oct, but I can't imagine even needing all
the trunk space for a couple week trip.  About everywhere I've ever been
with a car, they have laundromats now.
 
Haven't taken a trip of more than a few days in Kansei, but way back a long
time ago, I took a two month, 15,000 mile trip all over the USA, and even
took along a big reel-to-reel audio tape deck I was delivering for a friend
along the way.  This was in a VW Karmann Ghia, and I didn't have anything in
the (miniscule) back seat.
 
Try this exercise:  Pack everything you need for an entire month, except
firewood and water, in a pack to carry on your back.  It makes packing the
trunk of a Miata seem much easier.
