I travel two different ways. Either with kids, or for work.
Either way I try to travel as light as possible. I don't want to pack more than 2 days worth of clothes if I can avoid it. Having kids means they are going to bed early at least every other night and most hotels have a laundry room.
I just don't want to deal with it.
Plus wherever I'm traveling probably has a store where I could buy a shirt if I really needed to. Hell, casual wear is my usual souvenir when I travel anyway. Trucker hats especially, but hoodies and T-shirts as well.
How is it not more work to deal with doing laundry?
How much work is doing laundry? Put it in one machine, press a button, put it in another machine, press a button. Fold it enough that it doesn't wrinkle. Done.
I'm just gonna sit in my room and stare at my phone during that time anyway.
How much work is packing? Put some shirts in a suitcase. Done.
It's more about how much luggage I have to tow around with me, baggage claim, etc. Airports make me anxious. They're big and open and crowded, I just want to get out quick.
Yeah I agree with this completely. Better to pay to do laundry than lug around a bunch of bags.
And it's the airports not the airplanes that make me anxious. Once I'm on the plane and in my seat, I've done what I was supposed to do, it's up to the pilot after that.
Though if I'm somewhere for a few weeks I'll buy a bag there and fill it with stuff I've bought and check it. But only a carry on when going outbound.
You people are insane
I have no idea why there's downvotes on this. Whether it's for a day trip or two weeks, ideally I'm bringing a single backpack, and I'm always a little miffed if that's not possible.
Particularly if I'm going somewhere urban, I go to a laundromat one morning, grab a coffee from nearby, make some small talk with the locals or just chill waiting. It's a nice break before going on with the rest of your day.
