They had to be cleaned and pressed daily, and it was a huge pain. Most accommodations provide a laundry service and give you bags to put your clothes in that you want cleaned. It turns out that shampoo is a pretty good laundry detergent so I would wash the thing quickly, wrap it in a towel to dry it, and then put it under an iron. There are bargain stores everywhere or, if you like shopping like I do, just get the thing you need and recycle something you brought with you. As I mention above, for those who need some undies quickly you can lay a towel on the floor, put your undies on one side, fold the towel over them and then roll it all up as tightly as you can. Later I can put a nice cold beer or some water that I’ve lifted from the breakfast buffet. For whatever, reason, this past year or so, I’ve pretty much stopped reading.

Some accommodations offer coin-operated laundry as well, but that’s a pain and it also doesn’t apply to us because we’re not bringing enough clothes to justify that much energy/water consumption. Drying synthetic fabrics is so much faster and simpler. If I have more clothes with me (and therefore more laundry) I’ll bring a drying line, which you could find at any camping store. Most camping stores have them and you can Google “submersible water heater” to find one near you. There are a number of second-hand stores across the world and they’re easy to find — just Google for “Good will store near me” (or Oxfam, Salvation Army, etc). The stores sell great carry-on bags with wheels and pop-up handles. Most grocery stores have a “trial section” where you can shrunken versions of most toiletries. I have yet to find a cup as versatile and useful as this here Yeti. I also bring along nail clippers because it really sucks to find out, after a 5 mile walk, that your toe nails are a bit long (sorry I know that’s gross but hey, we’re adults here).
You just have to look around a bit and it is best to find some super comfortable performance trainers that you can use for a run or a nice dinner out. Okay, so there are some things about retirement that can be a bit of a grind. You can, literally, wash these things in the sink, roll them in a towel and sit on them for 5 minutes (rolled up) and they’ll be dry enough to put on a walk out the door. Sit on the rolled towel for 5 minutes and you’ll be amazed at how dry all the pieces is. Once you’re accomplished with your laundry you’ll be very blissful that you don’t have cotton. For example, don’t wear tank tops in conservative Orthodox churches, or lower your tone—most Europeans speak at a softer tone than Americans. When I was in college I had a job as a waiter at a Mexican restaurant which made us wear these ridiculous tuxedo shirts. 7. Wear comfortable clothing travel women and shoes.
8. I choose to travel during daylight hours as I feel safer and less burdened. You are better to park up and walk to the centre, otherwise you will be trying to navigate tiny one way streets for hours! I was right, but I could have accomplished this better! Have Some Tips for Me? Register with the State Department is the most vital worldwide travel tips. I’m not a super travel guru, but I have accomplished my fair share and hacked together some fun little tricks. When she was craving coffee at 4am in our hotel in Iceland that didn’t have a water carafe she gave me a massive hug! I gave in because I knew it was going to be cold and rainy and that I’d probably soak my shoes more than once. I left mine at home fearing the cold and rain — turns out walking 5 miles in a pair of Vans slip ons really really hurts.
