Thats my take.  Bagged ice would be easier and another mentions the dry ice
can get so cold, it cracks a cooler.  No harm if it's the damaged one, but I
think old tried and true bagged ice might be better.

Yup, 9 hours by google maps.  Probably take me a bit longer as I have to stop
and stretch now and again.

If I get in after 8pm, it's almost sure you folks will be at a restraunt (if
Friday).  I can refill coolers with ice with no problem at the hotel too. 
They might even have a freezer if it's all still frozen, I can use.  The
rooms also have a fridge (mini but this wont be a huge amount of food).

Green and never been dried.  Wet and hard to describe!  With my luck, they'll
be out just as I make the run!  Oh, anyone with iodine problems (allergic to
seafood) will need to avoid these dishes.  I havent heard of any of us having
that problem but it bears mentioning.
