I know what you mean, and I cannot speak for [MENTION=842803]SHLTP[/MENTION], but I would not be comfortable dropping off my clothes "on the streets" and I feel better if handled by the hotel or washing my stuff myself. I am fully aware I am making my life more complicated and/or more expensive because of my mental blockage compared to your solution which probably works great for you. If I am alone with this opinion then I still would rather handle a friendly ridicule on FT when you are teasing me, rather than to take my clothes to the street
