insulated lunch bag canada image

Going to Canada for the weekend and i'm on a "clean" diet so I made all my meals and whatnot ahead of time, only deal is we're leaving ~8 am and not going to check into the hotel til around 1 or 2 pm. How long could food stay cold in a cooler with a bag of ice, it souds dumb but would i have to replace the ice and drain the water halfway there or would one or two initial bags of ice be fine?

Answer
really if your worried for 5-6 hours, you wont need much... take any normal insulated cooler even a lunch box... freeze some water bottles or bring ice packs... keep it out of the sun while in the vehicle if possible... if not good enough... i had taken a camping trip in late june and kept a cooler for when we got back to our vehicle so we would have cold drinks... we were away from the vehicle for 6 days and we had a ccrappyold cooler... filled with ice and also wrapped with old sleeping bags... we had some days 80 degrees... but when we came back... we had alot of ice left and very cold drinks... i wouldn'tworry to much... just keep it generally cool

How do you bring lunch in high school?

I'm a freshman in ontario, canada. school starts tomorrow. i've only been attending a private school my whole life but i'm going to a public high school so i don't know what the differences are. for lunch, up until now, EVERYONE carried this lunch bag at my privaet school:

which their parents packed.. now i'm going to a public high school so i have no idea how the other kids pack.

so MY QUESTION: how do kids pack their lunches in canadian PUBLIC high schools? like in a plastic bag, a brown paper bag, or just the insulated bags i showed you?? or do most kids just buy their lunches from the school cafeteria? how do kids eat on the first day of high school??
so would it be okay to bring a lunch bag like above or would people think i'm a little kid or something?

Answer
Well, at my school, most kids buy...but of the few that do pack (that I've noticed), they use plastic bags and just throw them away when done.
