[blparent] snack and hotel rooms

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Hard boiled eggs can actually be out of a fridge for a few days before they
rot and start to smell.  They are, of course, cooked, so this slows down the
rotting process in some way.  My friends actually brought the eggs before
the security measures were so strict, I believe...  I'm actually not sure if
they checked them in their luggage or carried them on with them.  As for
homemade foods...  I'm actually not sure what the regulations are now.  I
know you can bring food on planes--just not liquid over a certain amount
unless you purchase it after you get through security.  It would probably be
best to check with airlines before bringing too much with you.

    Melissa, how does one bring hard boiled eggs? Don't you think they'd
start going bad in the suitcase, let alone start smelling? I heard you can't
bring homemade food on the plane. The airport will take it from you.

Is there a microwave now?  If so, that is great, as there never was one
before.  Sometimes you could get a refridgerator, but I believe they cost an
arm and a leg in Dallas.  We usually get fruit cups, granola bars, bananas,
crackers, and sometimes chips and cookies.  We have sometimes gotten a
disposable cooler and filled it with ice for sandwich meat, grapes, etc.
We've also gotten peanut butter and jelly and bread for sandwiches.  We've
found it really helpful to be able to eat at least some meals in the room,
or on the go.  You can even get packages of oatmeal and make them with water
you heat in the coffee maker.  I know friends of ours who have brought hard
boiled eggs with them to convention, and also string cheese.

Hello, I'm sure we have discussed this before and if I looked really hard in
the archives, I could find it, but could you all chime in and tell me what
kind of snacks you find beneficial in a hotel room.
I know there is a microwave, but that is all.
