Re: Suggestions for 18 hour bus trip

Our team dietary needs/preferences are diverse and complicated during travel. We make it work with a combination of
Miss Information's suggestions
Rick Tyler's Scout system
and placing some of the responsibility on the person that has special needs.

If a traveling team member has to eat every 2 hours, then they have to make arrangements/provide the snacks/food that will keep them healthy until we stop for the next meal.
So it works. Even though we are from Texas, barbecue is not at the top of our list for places to eat at - we try to find restaurants or areas that provide a large variety to select from. When our parents provide sandwiches and breakfast foods, they are careful to fit the team's dietary needs and are way cool for doing so. It gets us through.

Side note: we like the bus. The team grows very close during this special time together - baked beans or no.
