op. no. they are picky. one kid won't eat bananas or oatmeal but i mentioned we are going to try them before the trip. i found sourdough crackers that travel well. cheese isn't typically found where we are going. i thought of packing turkey pepperoni. i just made a large order from vitacost with some neat items such as high protein muesli, probiotics, different oatmeal packets that are high protein, fiber cookies, dried cranberries and vitamin multi gummies for all of us. we will get all of the vaccines and we have been to a travel clinic already for advice.
