Many a true word is spoken in jest..........
When I were a lad (all them years ago...1964 it was) my father and I
went on a three and a half week walking trip to the north-west
Highlands of Scotland. My mother and sister decided that it was a
lads' thing and didn't want to join us. So.......
The Home Team sent boxes of clean clothes "Poste Restante" to various
rural post offices - and boxes of dirty clothes were sent back home
for washing.
It enabled us to travel light without lugging around rucksacks full of
clothes or hyaving to wash the damn things in midge-infested mountain
streams.

Perhaps you could write the appropriate date and time on them too.

Well, that is a bit strong, but I have to agree with the sentiment. Who
gives a monkey's about clean/dirty clothes? Give 'em to the hotel laundry,
wash stuff in the sink/bathroom, throw them away and buy more...*sigh*
when I go on holiday, it's the last thing I tend to worry about.

A friend of mine took his van to Romania in 1990. Somewhere in
Transylvania it got stolen. It turned up nearby, undamaged, a
few days later. The only thing missing was his dirty underwear.
Maybe his mother did it.

Or any French hotel with similar lighting. My sample was fairly small,
but only one had halfway adequate lighting aywhere but in the bath.

My suitcase has a special compartment for use as a temporary
"laundry bag"! (No, it's not one of the big, hard to manage
cases - just well-designed.)

Most of my travel wardrobe is hand-washable and
quick-drying, so basically it's never a problem.
Underclothing I wash nightly and hang in the shower to dry,
likewise any blouse or T-shirt that needs it. Consequently,
it's only when I'm traveling the next day that I must pack
anything away dirty, and I make up for it by washing out two
sets of underthings the following night.
