I have done this. Buy the blue ice from Safeway or wherever, and freeze it at home. The more full you get the fridge, the longer it stays cold. I have also used a box of 100 Otter Pops as ice--they fit into all the small spaces around things, and make a tasty snack later on. On one trip (two days), half of them were still frozen when I got home.... bmc :) "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...."
