That is about what I did... half water, half air, fast shipping,
ice

packs...

I am thinking maybe too many ice packs, because she said the water

was very cold. Although

I did put them in and out of the fridge to lower the water temp

slowly before packing

them... so it would induce a type of hibernation or stasis... but

obviously I didn't lower

the temp enough.

Thanks for the suggestions and the prompt answer! I will try again,

this time with less

icepacks (the post office said 2 days was "NOT guaranteed" so I

wanted to make sure they

didn't cook in the Texas heat). Maybe a bigger bag, and more water,

and more air.
