Food & Traveling

[Ali]

Whats up guys?

I am curious to know what you guys do as far as taking food iwth you when you travel? I do a descent amount of traveling, however it has been all driving distance in the past.

But know i need to take more flights and i usually have all my food in my cooler, but i'm very hesitant to try to check that in at the airport.

Just wondering what you PM travelers do?

Thanks

Yea, i can bring my LBAs with me, but i won't be able to carry them with me into the the airport and check in. Any thing liquid will need to be checked in.

I just trying to find the best peice of luggage to put my food in. Too bad there is no way to lock up coolers..

I travel at least 95% of my life, so I can speak on this. I bring my tuna and rice, and oatmeal and protein and buy protein bars if I need them as I travel since you can always find a GNC, yes I know not cheap but easier then packing more. Mostly the only meal I buy on the road is lunch but you can also eat very good on the raod you just have to tell the waiter what you want and they will do it.

My concern isn't what type of foods to take with me, its more of what type of portable cooler i can actually check in that wont open up easily.

I wanted to cook some chicken and bring it with me

In my travels I've just used small square Coleman coolers as one of my carry-on items. As long as you dont' have liquids and you are using the hard ice packs (not the plastic ones filled with gel), TSA usually doesn't have a problem with it.
RobRoy and Buffchick have checked a large cooler before and I don't think they've had a problem.

Yea, I have a fairly large cooler i carry around with me with all my food and i guess i could easily check it in. My only concern is it opening up...it has a zipper that goes along the whole cooler so i doubt it will open.

The way the baggage handlers toss it around is another story lol Hope my lbas or chicken doesn't open up lol

yea, i think it's just the same as leaving our luggage unlocked, you know? as long as the zipper is shut, it should be ok. or you can also get one of those coolers on rollers...looks like an actual carry-on with that extendable handle, etc... that kind may be even more durable since it has the framework encasing the handle and holding the wheels on. hope that makes sense!

good luck!
