All cardboard had to be removed before we boarded Sanibel; everything down to the macaroni and cheese had to be removed from the box and placed in individual sandwich baggies. Toilet paper had to be bagged to keep the moisture out and the names of the canned food had to be written on the tops with a sharpie, so when the label falls off because of moisture we'll know what it is. Nearly everything had to be placed in zip lock bags to either break into a smaller container or to keep it dry from the salt water air.
It was a long day. When all is said and done it took us ten hours going non stop.
I'm beat!
