Best to move up your shopping trip a couple of days. Try to spin down your freezer contents this week, replacing with plastic bottles filled with water bottles. They make excellent ice blocks.
Great idea, never thought of that.
Also if anyone decides to get a hotel room, you will be paying the rack rate(hotel lingo for the highest price a hotel can charge for a room. The rates are usually listed on the hotel room door).
I'll never forget during Andrew in 92, the roach motels along 192 in Kissimmee, FL all had their "No Vacancy" signs blinking for the first and probably only time and they were probably getting over $100 a night for rooms that were going for $29 a night a week earlier.
