Travel Fridge, was Re: Very sad =(

Marilyn, what kind of electric cooler do you have? I'm flirting with the idea of

accompanying my mom to visit her family (two days up, probably stay a couple

days, two days back). That's a lot of yogurt and other food to haul!

And as if traveling with SCD restrictions aren't enough, I'll probably need to

take my parrot with me. It's a freaking $25 a day to have a pet store house her

in a back room with no windows, and she would probably be miserable (or feel

like I'd abandoned her like her previous owner did). I'll need to stick her food

in the cooler too. Nikko will probably have the best time of any of us, as she's

always up for going on an adventure.

We'll see whether I have the nerve to go! It would be nice to get out of the

extreme heat of Arizona for a little while.

I don't know anything about this model, which is a fridge/freezer,

but plan to ask around, because on multi-day trips, or if there is a

hurricane, having something I could freeze things in while traveling

would be very useful.
