Travelling with gear?

[Tru_in_Blu]

I traveled to a National in San Jose/Santa Clara. I didn't have a car.

Got to the hotel and found that they did not have washer/dryer on site. Nearest laundromat was about 6 miles away, so clearly not walking distance. Trying to find a time to go (base on laundromat hours), my game schedule, and the availability of someone to get me there and back was the worst part of that tournament.

I did the "rinse out shirts and hang them in the shower" but they weren't quite dry the next morning when I needed them.

I did bring a carry on bag that had 1 complete uniform that I could at least work base games in the event something happened to my luggage containing my plate gear.

My last 2 Nationals were East Coast locations where I could take my car. Much less stressful controlling my own moving about.

Never drove to any nationals or world cup tournaments which I've worked, then again, they were all SP.

Shirts and pants in a garment bag or neatly folded in a large luggage. Some of these tournaments were with the Elbeco shirts, so just rolling the up and packing them wasn't an option. Always traveled wearing the navy blue pants, base shoes with a fully equipped ball bag in the carry on with a hat. In the luggage, at least two uniforms for each day with a couple extra shirts.

Never had an issue with my luggage to or from a tournament, knock on wood.

Yeah that was bad I brought enough uniforms not to worry to that tournament.
I had a hotel room to myself so I washed my uniforms and just hung them up and let them dry for a day
