Well you can have the food delivered to the hotel, but you have to be there
to receive it, especially if it has food that needs to be in a refrigerator.
The hotel will not hold the groceries for you. So I would suggest if we
anyone is using this service, make it for the next day you are in Orlando,
like we are arriving on the 3rd, so I would have the service deliver to us
by the morning of the 4th.
Because not sure exactly what time we would get to the hotel after the
airport.

This service not only could perhaps save us money but time as well. Hoping
we find some insight on how best to make Orlando Grocery Express work for
us.

>
> restrictions, you know the added frustration of trying to find good
> food
>
> that will be good to you, too!
>
>
>
> The great news is that it's easier than ever to make the kinds of food
>
> choices that will keep you healthy and energized while you're away
> from
>
> your usual routine. Here are some simple ways to eat great while
> you're
>
> taking in the best moments of your trip:
>
>
>
> 1. Plan ahead. Often when we're traveling, we're out of routine and
> aren't
>
> eating at regular intervals. Sometimes we can go several hours without
>
> eating anything. Contrary to the popular myth that you should hold off
>
> eating to "save room" for a big meal, going for long stretches without
>
> eating actually slows metabolism and causes your body to become
> sluggish
>
> and tired and hang on to calories. Our bodies experience these periods
> as
>
> "mini-starvations" and send our brains into panic mode. To keep blood
> sugar
>
> stable and avoid energy lapses (which can then lead to
> overcompensating
>
> with high-sugar or fried foods), aim for eating a little bit every
> couple
>
> of hours while in transit and while you're out and about, in the form
> of
>
> foods that are nutrient-dense and high in lean protein. Pack snacks
> for
>
> easy access: nuts, seeds, hard-boiled eggs, firm fruits (like apples),
>
> veggies and hummus, or natural fruit-and-nut bars.
>
>
>
> If you know where you're staying, scout out restaurants in the area of
> your
>
> hotel. Check with your hotel or resort to peruse menus and see what's
>
> available. Once you arrive, you can use an app like [2]AroundMe to
> locate
>
> healthier restaurants in your area. And check out these smart phone
> apps
>
> that can help you [3]find gluten- and other allergen-free options
> while you
>
> travel.
>
>
>
> 2. Don't forget the grocery store! A supermarket, and especially a
> local
>
> co-op, can be your best ally while traveling. You'll have easy, cheap
>
> access to fresh produce and bulk healthy snacks. You'll find a wider
>
> variety of great foods that are free of gluten, dairy, and other
> common
>
> allergens at a reasonable cost. Plus, many co-ops also have a deli
> where
>
> you can get delicious sandwiches, salads, or wraps to take with you
> during
>
> the day.
>
>
>
> 3. Your mother was right: get your greens and take your vitamins.
> While
>
> you're traveling, your immune system is exposed to tons of new
>
> pathogens-especially on airplanes and other mass transit. You want to
> make
>
> sure your body has what it needs to stay healthy and fight germs and
>
> process toxins. Don't forget to pack your multi-vitamin and your other
>
> supplements! If you can't get ready access to fresh greens, consider
>
> getting some powdered greens that you can bring with you and easily
> mix
>
> into a glass of water or a morning smoothie.
>
>
>
> 4. Speaking of morning smoothies..if you're really dedicated to
> getting
>
> your daily intake of fruits and veggies, you might even consider
> bringing
>
> along a [4]travel blender. This might seem extreme to some, but
> consider
>
> this: most of them are under $20, fit easily into a suitcase or the
> back of
>
> the car, and can be just the thing to quickly make a power breakfast
> of
>
> fruits, nuts, and vegetables that will keep you going all morning.
>
>
>
> 5. Drink way more water than you normally do. Planes and hotel rooms
> are
>
> notoriously dry. Walking around all day expends energy and dehydrates.
>
> Often people drink alcohol or sodas with meals, which also are
dehydrating.
>
> Drinking more than your usual 8 glasses of water a day will keep you
>
> energized, hydrate your cells, keep your skin glowing, and will help
> flush
>
> out toxins.
>
>
>
> 6. Drink less alcohol than everyone around you is drinking. This can
> be
>
> challenging especially on business trips, where drinking is a familiar
>
> pastime. But in addition to worsening dehydration and jet lag, tossing
> back
>
> more than two drinks leads to more unhealthy eating. (A study from
>
> the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that men take in an
> extra
>
> 433 calories on average from alcohol and food when they consume more
> than
>
> two drinks!)
>
>
>
> 7. Try to get your eight hours' beauty rest. Easier said than done, I
know!
>
> But getting decent rest helps steady your metabolism, resets your
> adrenal
>
> system, and boosts your immunity. Being sufficiently rested will make
> every
>
> other choice you face on your vacation so much easier.
>
>
>
> 8. Try the "one and done" rule. Let yourself have treats and enjoy
>
> them-just keep it to once a day. Get that gorgeous piece of chocolate
cake.
>
> Have an extra helping of steak fries. Order the thing that's happily
> doused
>
> with butter, and love every single bite. And then, be done with the
>
> less-than-healthy food for that day. There's always more.
>
