    @JustOneGuy 6 - 8 hours without food is nothing of consequence. Think about it. Do you really do three meals a day? Or maybe two and a snack, or even one substantial meal and a couple of snacks. Unless you have a diabetes like challenge then one...

    My physio! also tells me to carry Dioralyte or similar and take each day. I tend to carry some Bread/cracker and cheese always. From Ireland last time I brought a Tea brack and it lasted for 6 days, small slices with cheese as snacks. Chocolate...

    Thanks for the suggestion, @Tincatinker: I am considering avoiding the energy drinks, but to be honest, I wouldn't like to stay a full day (I calculated 6-8 hours for the hardest ones) without food, specially in case of an emergency. Maybe for...

    If this is a legitimate message from Booking.com, it seems everyone who has the App and has already booked with them this year or last would have received this same message to alert of scams. I find it a little odd that they are asking you to...
