John, If you have a list of your hotels already I'd contact them. I have friends that take long motorcycle rides and before leaving home they contact the hotel , ship some clothes to each and as he leaves he mails the dirty clothes home again. He has family ship the package to each address a few days before he arrives - he tries to arrange it so that the package is delivered the day he arrives. Wow. Since most hotels have self-service guest laundries, this seems like a very expensive thing to do. I generally take few clothes on trips and plan on doing laundry at the hotel. |

The reason is not that they don't want to do laundry, it's that:
1. they can't plan on it. Not everyday is hotel based. It's a 'tonight let's ride until dark' and tomorrow we'll get to the hotel/ motel early. (Where the new clothes awaits.) Also sometimes it's pretty remote. 2. It's time thing too. A lot of what is sent ( old underwear,socks, old t-shirts with small holes in them etc) is tossed as they go so don't have to buy stuff/find a store for basics. The 'good clothes' they do launder as they go, but sometimes the disposable clothes gets them thru most of the trip. So they might have 2 changes and - if climate is the same fine that works - they can stow it. But if driving from Arizona to Oregon, might need cold weather gear from Oregon all the way home - so might then ship the warm weather clothes home. "Binyamin Dissen" wrote in message ...
