Before shoving all of your clothes in the washing machine, as the hostel front desk girl waits for you to do so so she can do all the settings on the machine, find out from her what the status of a dryer is, as opposed to, say, an outdoor clothesline. Otherwise, you may regret tossing in all of your dirty clothes, including the jeans you intended to wear tomorrow. And the only pajamas you packed.

   OH MY GOD, I would NEVER have thought to ask! I guess that now begs the question as to what exactly you have left in your suitcase to wear?

   Oh man - I have totally been there with the laundry thing in another country and it sucks. Do you have the funds to do some quick shopping for staples? Because if it’s cold, your stuff is going to take DAYS to dry. (Probably not helping, am I?)

   I’ve been lurking here recently, having made a roundabout trip through Horrible Warning and Ms. Lori at Superfantastic, and I am really enjoying your vacation. (Which sounds a bit odd, but work with me.)

   I wish you safe, dry, and clean travels tomorrow.
