Bringing Food on Plane - Page 2

*Andrea J.* · 03-22-2009, 06:32 PM

exactly!
why do a large grocery order in aruba if you can grab from your cupboards at home (and have room in your luggage) ?
i try to keep my aruba grocery list to certain essentials;
wine, milk, oj, butter, eggs and 1/2-1/2.

good idea to bring/buy as much breakfast, lunch and snack foods, since those are the things that really add up when bought on the run.

I would go food shopping there but I thought it would be a little cheaper to bring some things down. Wouldn't bring everything.

Buy or pre-order the snacks at Ling and sons. You can order on line and have it dellivered. With that weight limit of 50 lbs, gold fish, snacks, etc fill it up fast.. Just suggesting of course...whatever you do you will enjoy it...i find things get smashed, and heck its once a year...oh well...

I agree with Cindyo, Ling and Sons has everything you need. You can by great fresh rolls everyday all around the island, Being in the sun all day you less than at home.

Jusy got back 2 long weeks ago .......we brought coldcuts and chips etc on the plane. We also packed some more in our luggage with freezer packs and had no problems. Everything was fine when we got there.

I was considering ordering snacks, beverages and diapers from Ling and Sons to be delivered to the hotel, but I am noticing a limited number of items to choose from online. Mainly diapers are the problem, they claim they carry pampers in all sizes, but appear to only offer Huggies size 3 for ordering online. Is there a way to order items you need that are not listed? Also what is the delivery charge?

I am going to Aruba on May 1st and staying in a condo. I want to pack an entire suitcase with non-perishable foods (cereal, snacks, chips, etc). Does anyone know if I will encounter any problems getting into Aruba? Thanks

You will be fine bringing food into Aruba. I have a friend that brings in big boxes of food for her stay.
