Doing Laundry on Vacation
Chores on vacation sounds like an oxymoron, but I (Monica) love to do laundry while I’m on vacation. No, the actual act of hauling a bag of dirty clothes is not fun, but doing so allows me to pack less clothes for my family of 6.

If you need to purchase some, be sure to head to The Exchange to get some.
