I could probably "make do" with nothing. I took survival
training and actually had to do that for a weekend. Well,
I got to carry a knife and a compass. Not exactly my idea
of a vacation though. Besides, they wouldn't let me take
the knife on a plane these days.

Exactly. I guess I'm just one that doesn't look upon my vacations
as an opportunity to practice minimalism. Even on business travel
I've learned over the years to pack a creature comfort or two. Doing
laundry DEFINITELY isn't something I look forward to doing on vacation.
To some extent, it's one of the things I look forward to getting away
from.
