Thanks for all the great ideas!! I just looked at the temps that the handpacks get to....yikes. Some get up to 150 degrees. If I go that route, they will definitely be on the outside of the box probably wrapped in a sock, and I'll be monitoring the temps. I need to get home and check to see if my gas stove is still functional, though it should be. The furnace definitely is not. Since I can bring him to work with me tomorrow I'm not concerned about the day...mostly keeping him warm all night. I haven't ruled out the hotel yet either....I'll monitor the situation tonight and we may just end up bundling him up and smuggling him into the Holiday Inn.
