I've picked up several travel irons at thrift stores and given them to friends. Those little Remington irons mentioned by Dunster can still be found at thrift stores. Travel irons don't get much use, so are usually in good shape. Bring a few pieces of of an old sheet torn into about the size of a fat quarter or a bit larger. Don't bother with a hem. Even the so-called experienced ones will iron the wrong side and ruin the ironing board with fusible, which makes it impossible for the next user. The large scraps of sheets can lay down a new surface. Don't forget something to clean fusible off the iron. You don't need to go to the internet to order spray misters, WalMart has them. Someone in my group always brings a bottle of Best Press and we leave it at the ironing board.
