I haven't! I would think taking pouches would be a lot more convenient since you don't have to worry about refrigeration while you're out.
I plan on packing pouches for our trip to the bahamas.

edit: My mom always checks frozen dumplings, kimchee and other random food items when she flies in to visit! She brings some in her carry on and in checked bags. The stuff stays frozen as long as you put ice packs in with them!

I haven't but my friend's mom always packs a ton of frozen food when she comes to visit WA from CA. I think she just packs enough plus ice packs so that it stays frozen on the way here. It's only a 2 hr flight vs 5 hr though!

What about bringing a selection of pouches and also buying some fruits and veggies there? Avocado and banana are great options!

We were in Hawaii this summer, and I packed some stuff {carry-on and checked} and purchased the rest there. With the exception of produce and bottled water, I didn't find the prices to be that different from California.

Ditto @sunny: I had a banana in my diaper bag, and had to throw it out.

@shopaholic: It's easy to ship frozen food with a checked in luggage. I put it in a ziplock bag, then in a soft insulated cooler bag with ice packs inside it. We do it all the time. One of my aunts makes the best hot pepper chili oil that everyone requests so we freeze it in a plastic container and ship it this way when we travel. Not sure if traveling to Hawaii would be any different.

I thought there were quarantine rules with bringing food into Hawaii?

My son used to go between homemade purees and pouches with no problem.
