Beach Trip. How?

in February 2014 Moms
I am in FL for a few weeks and am dying for a quick beach trip (aka about 6 hours gone) for some sun and relaxation. LO is only 2 months old so I don't want to bring her obv. I am BF'ing so do I buy a manual pump to express and prevent engorgement? Toss the milk in an iced cooler? Cheaper to buy the adapter for my electric Medela?

TIA

    I say just squeeze some out into the ocean if you feel too full and pump when you leave the beach.

    I would get a hand pump and store it in a cooler, but I also don't like to waste any milk.  I'm struggling to get enough pumped at work for the sitter the next day, so wasted milk saddens me.

    Isn't a battery pack the same price as a manual? That's what I would do if they were.

    I have hand expressed into a resturaunt sink, that's easy too.

    Your Medela didn't come with the battery pack?
    You can also buy an adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter of your car.

    Thanks all. Didnt think about just hand expressing. Duh. Easy peasy to make this happen.
