Since I wasn't sure what (if any) cooking facilities other than an electric kettle the motel unit would have, I brought two porridge packs with me: one of the desperation 'add water, stir & eat' in-cup variety; the other being 'add milk/water to sachet, microwave in bowl & eat" type. Fortunately it was the latter. There's a toaster, kettle & microwave oven. With cups, small plates, bowls & cutlery for two.
