Can I go right now?

Daniela - I feel your pain.  I cannot wait to be out of the office and into a festival chair!!

Who said I wasn't sitting in a festival chair??  Reaching that keyboard is kind of a challenge, though.   LOL LOL LOL LOL

Hey Daniela, I know you not sitting in a festival chair! Your sitting on that ball aren't you!!!

Good advice on the cooler thing folks... I have one more suggestion that will make your life easier.  Thumbs Up

Take along a large fluffy beach towel for each of your coolers. Drape the towel over the cooler and soak it with water. The natural evaporation in this high dry climate will act as an extra layer of cooling, preseve your ice, supply, and discourage folks from quote Peeking quote inside to see what kinda munchies are in there.

I leave in just about 30 hour.... The fever is getting worse.

 Cheers

Here's my cooler system.... suitable for a "standard issue" blue coleman or the likes... two solid blocks of ice on each side of the cooler...they fit perfectly... then put a plastic tupper container between them for the cheese and other things you don't want to get wet... pile everything else on top.  The blocks last for several days.  The blocks are a little easier to work with than the frozen containers for space reasons.  And, I concur with Jerry... freeze everything and anything you can before hand:) 

In Peace,
Michelle

Yeah, I'm stressing about this too....LOL.. Looks like we won;t leave until tommorow morning.... So, we will have several hours of quite "toasty" temps in the van.... The Van doesnt have AC and high is forecasted here tommorow of 106.... I just want to keep the stuff cold enough so we dont die of food poisoning once we get there.. and YES, I hate soggy food....

You know, I was toying with this idea as well... I was thinking of putting ice on the bottom of cooler and then using a cat box liner to line the cooler and put food in that to prevent it falling into the ice water and then topping with the frozen water bottles....

Unless you're bringing ice cream dry ice is over rated, expensive , and hard to deal with.

It does make REALLY cool steam when dropped in a pan of warm water tho.
