    For dinner we have brought "fun" stuff - for our first night last year we brought a variety of cheese/bread/spreads/crudites with wine for the adults and sodas for the kids.

    Are you thinking you will be cooking every meal? Maybe you could make some stuff ahead of time, freeze and reheat?

    What time of year of you going?

There is another thread in this section called *ideas for eating in the room* or something like that and I thought I had the link but I couldn't find it. Maybe you could google it (or read all these *archives*...

    On this last trip I took a lot of fruit, small juice bottles, cheese, mini-bagels, stuff like that and kept the cooler in the room and just used hotel ice to keep it cool. It worked great.
    Have fun planning.
