You are going to Denver on an overnight stay for an important meeting, and you just found out about it this evening.

You go to PackMyBagForMe dot com. We have affiliates near every major airport. You choose from our wide selection of business suits - from khaki, sport shirt and sport coat to three-piece - in all sizes and colors. Also select your preferred bag. The basic toiletries package is included by default, but you may upgrade to the deluxe that includes massage oils and your special brand of hair cream. Tell us where you are going and when you are arriving, and our delivery person will greet you by name at the airport with your bags and a warm smile.

You breezed through security with only your laptop carry-on, you didn't have to fight the crowd at the baggage carousel, and you are on your way to the hotel, confident that you will look and feel your best the next day, and all you did was click your mouse.

After your successful meeting, keep the suit and bag if you like (you spent a goodly sum), or arrange to return them at the airport kiosk when you are done for a refund minus the rental charge. The toiletries are yours with our compliments.

       Ok, bun for you. But couldn't you just put the clothes in the closet at the hotel for me and lay out the toiletries by the sink?   

       I would rather not struggle with the bag from the airport to the room and back if I don't have to, and you can ensure that everything is neatly pressed this way too.

       Sounds like a good idea to me, but what GC said about delivery. Unless you throw in a limo with the greeter.

       Right, I thought about that too. But then, a warm greeting at an airport? How nice is that? Plus, in a situation like this, it is very often the traveler is not exactly sure which Super 8 Motel she will be staying at.   

       How about a delivery option: at airport (with bag and smile), or hotel room (unpacked, pressed and laid out).

       Options please. I may not know where my hotel is, but if there is not a hotel shuttle to the airport, the taxi driver or car rental clerk will know. And they have big signs over their heads and lots of in airport directions to where they are. Finding the "Pack my bag for me" person/counter/kiosk is one more stop I would rather avoid at the airport. Also it might be one more line for me to stand in. The faster I get out of the airport, the better.   

       Also I don't really want to greet a stranger at the airport. I am probably already on my cell phone with my client and don't really want to talk to anyone else.
