Photography Question

storing film for the trip in few months


i will have a 10 day trip in late august. and I bought a few rolls of fuji reala from the store which were kept in the fridge. so I am keeping them in the fridge now. is it fine to store them a couple months and put them in a backpack for that trip without affect their quality? if I have left over after the trip, can I store them back in the fridge for future use?
thanks for helping.

  Reala is consumer grade film that is formulated to be resistant to the uses to which normal people put it. Don't worry too much about temperature, but keep it out of hot cars and such. Pro films are formulated to be used pretty quickly and probably should be refrigerated before use.
If you are flying to your trip, put it in your hand-carry bag, NOT in your checked baggage. You won't have to store it in the fridge when you get back, but do it if it makes you feel better.
