To ensure you get the most out of your vacation, you don’t want to get burnt out too early. Pace yourself and you’ll leave the trip satisfied and bronzed, rather than burnt and in pain.

Whether you want to pack a cooler or bring foods that don’t to be refrigerated, you’ll need be happy to be able to easily reach in your bag and satisfy your hunger. Consider handhelds — sandwiches, chips, fruit, veggies and dip, and bottled water.
