They told me 40 degrees is the ideal temp for the bicillin and the problem so far is that the freezer packs get the temp down closer to 30 degrees, and the ice cubes so far have only lowered to the 50s. As I may not be able to refreeze the freezer pack along the way (airport, long flight, warm weather (Kauai) when we arrive, etc) I am leaning toward the ice cubes as they can be replaced along the way. But temperature control is a problem.

Anyone successful in traveling with a small portable softsided cooler to transport their bicillin? (Or any other method) I have manipulated the timing of my shots so I will only need one shot in the two weeks we'll be gone, but know you can't buy one shot at a pharmacy and hear there is a shortage as well.

Thanks for any help!!

Newspaper is a great insulator. If you wrap your ice pack in it it will keep it from melting for a long time. It will also keep what is adjacent to it from freezing.

Experiment with this idea.
