I have a lot of thoughts about how useful hard coolers are while traveling.

I like the ones that roll, so you can toss the duffel(s) on it and be whizzing around in no time after baggage claim.

I just use the cooler as my bag, and put everything in it, and we carry a separate AO or Polar Bear depending on the cold goods to be carried and amount.

Also allows you to carry breakables with no problem and stuff that likes to leak when roughed around in the duffel (bug spray being a common annoyance,sunscreen, etc.)

PRO TIP - by a strap with quick release clip....I think we got ours on amazon....it's so much quicker and easier because someone is going to be ruffling through it all....click click and you done...they're adjustable.

Be safe out there today folks
