Out of town with no freezer for my ice pack - what to do?

[pinotgrig]

I made it my out of town location yesterday (despite delays and one missed pumping session - ugh). I'm on site and despite being sure of having a freezer to re-freeze my ice pack, there's not one here. So I have a freezer bottle bag and my medela ice pack. What should I do?

My hotel (that I checked out of this am) is less than a block away, so I guess during a pumping session I could run over there and ask them to freeze it? I'm leaving at 2:30 to head to the airport though, so not sure if that's too little time to freeze? Should I just get some ice at a restaurant at the airport after I get through security? Ugh.

Eta - once I get to the airport, I won't get home until 10 or later.

Yep! That's what I would do. I think if you can refrigerate the ice pack that should be ok too.

I'd do ice as well. See if you can grab some before you head to the airport (hopefully you have a baggie to put it in) and you can change it out at the airport if there's a problem or you have too much melted ice.
