Totally Agree. Our next trip isn't until August, and I still have a lot to do to get ready. I will say, that the "Prep" in many ways is also just as fun as the vacation itself, at least for us.
I'm still around and we still used a cooler for milk, eggs, butter, juice, fruit, and all things fridgerator friendly. I posted a week or so ago about our recent camping trip. Should be on page 2 (I think) on the camping forum.
