I agree that Starfish, Dolphin and others are carrying very good products now. I understand that Dolphin has taken over Lily's in Coral Bay as well now?? That would be great for the quality of meat!

However, I am a "cooler person" especially when traveling with a group. I only bring meat because then I'm guaranteed the quality and quantity that I want, not to mention it's convenient for us to do this. To each their own, don't care to debate! If you choose to travel with a cooler, I always check 50lbs of meat with NO dry ice, never had it delayed or tampered with. I freeze the meat at home for several days and put it in a soft sided Polar Bear cooler the morning we leave. 13-14 hours later it's still frozen when we arrive at the villa. Good luck! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
