Well, in my case, a drive that would last more than an hour would be out of ordinary, like something caused by an accident at the highway going from Central to West Maui and back. No back roads available. What I keep in my X5 will probably make you laugh:

- Tshirt, beach shorts, and slippers (so I can go hang out at the beach anytime and anywhere I want.)

- Further to the above, a beach chair to sit on, in case a breathtaking sunset is in the works

- A pair of binoculars during the months of January through March, in case there are humpback whales breaching out of the water. Traffic usually comes to standstill when this happens so might as well join the hysteria!

- A bottled water
