Q about delivering my goods!!

[jessp1021]

We are planning on mailing our snacks, juices, and waters to the hotel by UPS.. my q is what would be the best way to make sure it gets there and juice and water aren't spilled everywhere? Second q I know alot of ppl mail their box back home.. how to do you get someone to pick it up to mail it back? Do you just drop it off at the front desk or what?


Another q ( off subject) when you pack your toiletries and what nots how do you keep them from going everywhere in the luggage? This is our first time flying with kids so I am trying to make sure I have everything covered!!

When you return home all you need to do is bring it to the front desk and you can pay for shipping right there. I usual wrap liquids in a bag i.e trash bag or large XXXL Ziploc bags. My family has also done it by wrapping the liquids first in a towel and then a bag(sealed tight).
As far as toiletries Pick up lots of different sized ziploc bags so if something leaks it does not get on anything Works everytime I have never had any spills.

I would mail the snacks but NOT drinks!

I put my toiletries into ziploc bags, double bagged.

How are you getting from the airport to the resort? I rent a car or use a transportation company (that I'm not allowed to mention here), so do a grocery stop if necessary. Still usually send a box of snacks, but I'd never do the drinks. First of all, the weight makes it silly, and also, they could leak. It doesn't make sense.

we are taking the ME so doing a grocery stop is not an option.. we had thought about doing garden grocer??

 

[happymommy]

That sounds like a much better option - I'd do garden grocer.

Probably cost less in the long run as well!

surprisingly it was around the same price ( they have a $40 minimum) but we got more stuff instead of paying for more shipping!!

I think I will try putting everything in ziplock bags.. I was already planning on doing that with the kids clothes so their outfits will be together.. don't know why I didn't think to put everything in them lol!!
