airplane travel with kefir grains

[Guest guest]

I want to send some milk kefir grains home with some visitors who live across

the country. Will they likely survive alright if I rinse them in filtered water

and stick them in a jar (without milk) for the visitors to take on the airplane

in their carry on or in checked luggage? The grains would be out of milk for at

least 16 hours, and probably more like 1 1/2 days, since the travelers' fridge

is empty at the moment.

Advice is greatly welcome!

Thank you,

They will be fine. Mine sometimes take a whole week to get to their

destination.
