I am with Drak. No matter where I go or how long I'm staying I have my pocketbook and my one carry-on luggage (that is standard size.) If I have to pack my laptop, it gets nestled between my clothes so I don't have to take my laptop bag also. I just find a way to do laundry. It isn't the most luxurious thing to do, I suppose; but how much time does it really takeout of your 28-day holiday to take a few hours to do laundry?
