Tips for Attending International Wine Shows

Most attendees here in Angers take Ambien every night. Personally, I like this drug, but have suffered neurological bouts since taking this miracle drug. On the advise of my neurologist, Dr. Harold Flazenlogel of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, I now take Tylenol PM and it works like a charm. Furthermore, I have saved significant money by buying the Duane Reade generic version.

The other key thing is to pack lightly. To do so, you need to do hand laundrys in your hotel room. The problem is that your laundry then has to dry and there is no place to hang the stuff.

I've solved this problem by buying an elastic clothes line through www.magellan.com which gives me a good seven feet of hanging space in Angers' glamorous Hotel Mercure Lac de Maine. They accept laundry here, at an exhoritant rate, but clearly state on the laundry price sheet, in boldface, that socks and underwear are forbidden.

You also need woolite and hangers for the clothing. Finding hangers is also a problem because hotels these days have hangers in their closets which detach at the hook as a theft deterrent. I get around this by buying inflatable plastic hangers which are also available at magellens. In France, they call these type of hangers "poupé gonflable." There are several shady looking shops in the center of Angers selling these useful items.
