There is a special kind of thermos that you can purchase that can safely transport liquid nitrogen.
I transported liquid nitrogen in a thick styrofoam container before, but this was over a very short distance.

Most any sturdy, thermally insulated container will do. Just never close the liquid nitrogen in an air tight container! Make sure it can vent. Otherwise as the liqiud boils, the pressure in the container will increase and then explode.

VERY CAREFULLY!!!

You need to have a special thermos container called a Dewar, which will allow the LN2 not boil away while you're moving it.
