I've taken waifu on a couple of tours where a company had a network of B&Bs and picked up our dunnage every morning and deposited it at the next night's accommodations. It wasn't that much - certainly not $700/day! - and we would have been laying out for an overnight stay and a breakfast anyway. Uh...shop harder?
Note: these trips were on well-worn cycletouring routes, so the company was hauling bags in both directions for several unassociated and independently touring folks/groups/couples. Defrays costs.
