What to take for 2 week holiday

Our holiday is going to be two weeks in a hotel. I usually stay in a villa ,Airbnb etc that has access to a washing machine.
But won't have this option at the hotel.
What should you take for your teen boy who is a messy eater! And DD who also can't look at an ice cream without it ending up all over her 😂

Whereabouts are you going and what's the weather like there?

Swimsuits
Trainers
Waterproof coats or cagoules

Google if there's a laundry nearby OP. I went away for 3 weeks in 2019, I took one weeks worth of stuff and had everything laundered twice for a couple of $$. Much easier than the stress of having to worry about things getting dirty or not having enough, or over-packing.

I'd still take coats. It will be cold and wet on the way home

Take washing powder with you and hand wash. Take baby wipes for quickly cleaning ice cream spills

Take extra sunglasses.someone usually loses theirs
Take lightweight fairly dressy skirt or trousers for evening out

Depending on the country, take fairly skimpy tops - less to wash and takes less space

Hot every day mine wear swimwear all day so two or three sets to give them time to dry out, rinse in the shower after wearing. 14 knickers / pants, 7 outfits and a couple of t shirts, plus a couple of pool / beach cover ups.

I'm not dicking about with laundry on holiday.

Take it all for a service wash when you get home.
