I can smell this tweet
I’ll go on a trip over 2½ days in autumn, and for dietary reasons, I can’t really expect to find food there. So, my current plan is genuinely to just bring my own food for the whole trip.
And yeah, it’s just 7 meals, a bag of food is probably enough. But in my head, I’m already trying to work out the logistics of transporting a shopping cart’s worth of food there. 🫠
Three day vacation, 9 pairs of underwear. You never know when you’ll shit yourself
For 3 days I packed two extra pairs. Was also going to two concerts though, back to back. So, I was kinda gross and sweaty when I came back to the hotel, so it got used. But, I also do this when I’m bot going to a concert.
“I’m bot”
Get em, boys!
Beep boop beep. Hello fellow human. I am not bot.
This, but in case of period instead, because somehow every single vacation I’m on it. Literally one vacation it was late 2 weeks and started right when my vacation started 😒
Absolutely. You have to be prepared to shit yourself at LEAST 5 times a day every day.
Who are you? Trump?
I mean personally I usually end up sweatier than a Call of Duty match when I go on vacation so I bring 2 shirts for every day
I can’t wear a shirt for more than two days without getting smelly. Antitranspirant helps, but I just got noticeable BO. A week in the same shirt is not happening even if I’m home alone and not leaving the house
I think they meant that everyday they only wear one shirt for that day. Not the same shirt one day after another
Read the post again, it’s unambiguously the same single shirt for all the days of a week
Can you explain to me why doing laundry is not a thing for many people on vacation? Why hurl a giant suitcase of clothing instead of a few pieces you wash every couple of days? Never made sense to me.
Because vacation is often camping or staying in a hotel. And there aren’t reasonably-priced laundry facilities in either place
But sure, if you have a washing machine in the place you’re staying… Even then, washing every couple of days feels excessive.
But I’m not the one packing 32 shirts either
My last trip was to a foreign country, 2nd world country. I brought enough clothes for half the trip, and did laundry in the sink with locally sourced soap. Hung them in the room to dry 🤷♂️
Hotel laundry was prohibitively expensive, though I suppose I could’ve found a Laundromat 🤔
At any rate, the towards the end of the trip we stayed somewhere with a washing machine, so we all did a load and hung them on the drying rack.
Clean clothes are important. Sometimes, MAYBE, I’ll go three days on a shirt. But only for work, because I work mostly alone and don’t sweat much or at all most days. But if I do? Or it gets dirty? New shirt.
In my normal life it’s similar, I can MAYBE get two days from a shirt in the spring fall winter, but not summer. One and done.
Same with showers, MAYBE two days, I’ve done three in a pinch but it’s gross. Gotta wash yourself every day. Can’t believe people who don’t.
I’m busy doing shit I don’t wanna wait around for laundry. Plus I’ve only once had access to a laundry room I trusted to not have stuff stolen out of it; we specifically planned for it because it was three weeks and we needed somewhere to do laundry at the halfway mark
Costs? In most hotels, doing laundry is really expensive per piece. In some apartments having a washing machine, you have to pay per load and sometimes the washer/energy, too.
So, packing for a few days extra mostly is just question of cost vs. comfort?
But yeah, asked myself the same question packing a big suitcase for the last vacation…
Seeking out a nearby laundry sounds awful.
I do laundry on travel when the location has it as an option.
My goal in life is to someday go on an international journey with only a wallet and a phone. Maybe a compute bag. But no accoutrement.
Not even a towel? 🤨
Hotels have towels. This ain’t no galactic hitchhike. 👍
Technically I’ve done this, I even went without a wallet and nearly forgot my passport. Then again, I live in Denmark, so driving south for a couple of hours lands me in Germany. Technically an international journey, but not what you meant I think 😀
Take two empty suitcases and fill them up there
Bought a suitcase and filled it up there 😅
