Speaking of travel...

Has anyone given thought to having their formalwear shipped to Malibu (rather than crammed into a suitcase). Do people do that? (I ship stuff back from functions all the time, but I've never tried shipping to a hotel).

ETA: I actually intended to post this to the WOTF XXIV community, but I guess I'll leave it here.

I've done it, and will probably ship my dress to WorldCon. Just call the hotel to see how they want it labeled.

I've thought about it. (Also, giving it to Paul who is driving down...but he's scared to death he'll forget it.) I'll have it cleaned, take it with me, and then have it re-cleaned when we get there, the hotel has a valet dry cleaning service.

I had never done that, but it's a good idea. I guess, because what if it doesn't get there on time?

A small steam iron might be safer, and most hotels have service or provide the iron.

My wife brought her wedding dress Carry-on in a special bag designed for the dress (so it wouldn't get too wrinkled). Probably the best bet if you're concerned about the package arriving. I guess Fed-Exing it would be very safe too, but would probably cost a few pro-sales worth of money. ;-)

Have a great trip!
