         11 . The cooler of  claim 2 , wherein said second area of access is disposed to run substantially parallel to a hinge association between said fist lid and said cooler housing. 
     
     
         12 . The cooler of  claim 2 , wherein said second area of access is disposed to run substantially orthogonal to a hinge association between said fist lid and said cooler housing. 
     
     
         13 . The cooler of  claim 6 , wherein said second area of access is disposed to a relative side of said seating arrangement. 
     
     
         14 . The cooler of  claim 1 , including a third area of access to said cooler cavity, said third area of access being at least partially defined by said cooler housing and selectively configurable between an open condition and closed condition. 
     
     
         15 . The cooler of  claim 6 , wherein said second area of access is disposed at a relative rear of said seating arrangement. 
     
     
         16 . The cooler of  claim 1 , wherein said second area of access is disposed at an oblique angle relative to said first area of access. 
     
     
         17 . The cooler of  claim 8  wherein said foldable seat back includes an extendable table portion. 
     
     
         18 . The cooler of  claim 1 , including a table portion extendable from a relative side of said cooler housing. 
     
     
         19 . A cooler comprising:
 a cooler housing;   at least one cooler cavity defined by said cooler housing;   at least one cooler access point disposed to provide access to said cooler cavity; and   a seating arrangement that is at least one of slidably and rotatably associated with said cooler housing;   wherein said at least one cooler cavity access point is accessible via at least one of a sliding and rotating of said seating arrangement.   
     
     
         20 . The cooler of  claim 19 , wherein said at least one access point is an opening in communication with said at least one cooler cavity, wherein said opening is defined by said cooler housing and positioned relatively below said seating arrangement, and wherein said opening is exposed to an ambient environment via at least one of said sliding and said rotating of said seating arrangement. 
     
     
         21 . The cooler of  claim 19 , wherein said at least one cooler access point includes at least one lid disposed between said seating arrangement and said cooler cavity.
