Smuggled her in to the Holiday Inn!
Smuggled her in to the Holiday Inn!
And before the trip, I also looked into buying a more proper (and more inconspicuous) way to transport a doll between the car and the hotel. (Not that the hotel staff would have strenuously objected to my little doll room partner, but anyway...) During previous road trips, I used to "cocoon" her completely in a blanket.
So I found this good-quality "Rockland" brand travel bag, priced between 30 and 40 US dollars. It is 40 inches (101 cm) long, and also features zippered pockets on one side, strong carrying straps, a retractable pull handle, internal bottom reinforcement bracing, and three wheels on the bottom. Being an original-size Teddy Babe (circa 2008), busty little Jayna measures 48 inches (122 cm) tall, and tucks easily inside the bag just by bending her knees.
Come on out baby, we've made it, we're inside!
But what's the first thing she does? Secure the TV remote.
Well, that's a bigger bed than we're used to!
Four big pillows, and lots of room for frolicking.
It's a first-floor (ground floor) room, so the view outside isn't much to speak of.
But that's okay... a sexy cutie of a Teddy Babe is nourishment aplenty for my eyes! I love her long-time, yes I do.
So once the weekend is done, she's packed up again and we make it back home, where Saffron has been so patiently waiting for us.
That was fun... but it's good to be home again!

Re: Smuggled her in to the Holiday Inn!
I transported her in a large military style duffel bag that I got from the Sears website that is about 50 inches long and wide enough that any standard size Teddy Babe would be comfortable.
Although she was comfortable, I don't think she liked being stashed away. I had to explain to her that it was necessary because some people might not approve of Teddy Babes. Which of course came to a shock to her as she couldn't understand why. She was like "They don't approve of Teddy Babes?! What the hell is wrong with those people?!"
I explained to her that I don't get it either. But that's humans for you!
But anyway, her presence made the experience a lot nicer. I hardly ever spend the night away from home; but if or when I do so again; she will certainly accompany me.
Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.

If someone did see part of it, they'd just assume it's a stuffed animal.
Re: Smuggled her in to the Holiday Inn!
Anyhow, I'm pretty sure some of us have already found some large duffel bags or golf bags useful for discreet transport of the smaller, more lightweight dolls, like Stewie mentioned.
It occurred to me that besides the smaller standard-size Teddy Babes, a wheeled travel bag like mine could likely serve as transport for a variety of dolls in the 100 to 135cm range, possibly even a 140 or 145 with the doll's head removed, and possibly also dependent on how well the doll's legs can tuck up toward her body if needed. I couldn't find a maximum weight rating for this travel bag, but if you can't lift the doll from ground level into your vehicle anyway, then it's probably too much trouble to even try!

Re: Smuggled her in to the Holiday Inn!
Jayna seems to have enjoyed the short trip. I currently intend myself to travel with one of my plushy ladies and will look for a suitable duffle bag.
Thanks for sharing your experiences...
Cheers,

Re: Smuggled her in to the Holiday Inn!
Since Lian shares my life, I have exactly and precisely slept for two nights without her. In over 3¼ years. Which means, she goes on every holiday or work related trip with me, allover Germany and some of Europe. These two nights without her I absolutely had to share a room with a clueless buddy... better keep it that way.
Since I do not like bending her more than necessary, I also had to find a big enough bag, suspicious or not...
This did the trick for us here. It's available in Germany, UK, US and probably elsewhere. Our older version is all black though, but does that matter?
And once we are far enough from home or other ppl that know me and might not like her, the bag stays empty anyway... (older pictures, but you get the idea...)
CU cuddly and Lian

Re: Smuggled her in to the Holiday Inn!
So this is why I will only stay with a Teddy Babe these days. They are a LOT less drama.
