Choose a bag that is collapsable so when not in use it doesn?t take up space. get the largest size, they start around $15, don?t skimp on quality as you?ll have this bag for years. If you do pack a lot of food, a bag on wheels is a good idea, they start around $80. Don?t bother with ice packs, freeze bottles of bottled water and use then as the ice packs, you?ll also have plenty of fresh cold water to drink.
