However the best reason to ship ahead is avoiding the TSA gorrilla's opening your bike case, moving everything around as they inspect and then damaging your bike as they jam everything back in.

Ship vs. travel with was discussed in another thread recently. Unless I buy another bike between now and when I travel, I will not be shipping.
Plus where I plan to stay the first night, doesn't have a real street address.
Yes I checked with managment. No street address. I'm not sure if I feel comfortable with this, nor do I feel comfortable with expecting managment to have to worry about accepting delivery.
But I will give this option some thought.
