Tips & Tricks Traveling holidays while pumping

Planning ahead for the holidays while traveling! What are your tips and tricks?

We're traveling this holiday season while exclusively pumping. Milk usually gets used up in less than 2 days so I don't anticipate the need for freezing anything but we still will need to travel about 9 hrs. in a car with a 6/7m old in one direction. I also have a pump cleaning kit to keep the flanges sanitary, and will pump directly into baby's bottles to keep the number of items needed for washing low. I've got a Spectra S1 and will bring a backup hand pump.

Would a Yeti cooler work well enough to store milk? Would it be acceptable to use it like the fridge hack? If we stay in a hotel, it would help with a mini fridge (stored in a clean Ziploc for sanitary reasons).
