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.
