So, there I was, in my hotel room, with an urgent need to keep something refrigerated, and no fridge it sight...
So, necessity being the mother of invention and all that, I came up with a solution that worked quite well, if I do say so myself.
I went to the grocery store and purchased a small package of kitchen garbage bags.
I took the items that needed to be kept cool, and placed them in one bag, and tied it shut. Fortunately, none of the items were easily bruised or crushed.
I took two bags, and filled them each partially with ice from the hotel ice machine, then tied them tightly.
I then took another garbage bag, and placed one of the ice filled bags into the bottom. I then placed the bag with the perishables on top of the bag of ice. I then took the second bag of ice and placed it on top of the perishables bag.
I then took the extra blanket which most hotels place in the closet - which was one of those nice micro-fleece jobs - and wrapped it around my little bundle of joy, and then placed that bundle back into the zippered storage case.
Worked like a charm!
