Are you worried about quality of produce there? Where do your dh’s relatives get their groceries? They must get them somewhere.

Powdered milk is pretty available in developing countries, it’s the liquid milk that’s more rare and expensive. And they have all kinds: whole, 2%, non-fat. Why would you lug it from here?

Can your kids survive on the menu you wrote for a month?

Bring packed meat: would they canned tuna? Canned chicken?[/quote]

op here. so i can avoid using tap water. I can use bottled water to sterilize. i want to be in control of our meals and lets just say hygiene isn't the same there.  
the last trip they didn't always use soap to clean utilities. i'm sure his family will tell me i am over reacting because they didn't have to deal with a kid who was in the hospital for 11 days when we came back. he was also sick there and went to the hospital but the hilliness came back.  it's possible he got it again or the dose they gave him wasn't enough. i would like to avoid an extended stay in the hospital. it cost us thousands.
