  Hi Nancy. We are taking this trip Sept. 19th. Will be interested in the responses. Since luggage is limited, we will need to send out.

  We got an answer from Caesar Park Hotel in Buenos Aires, the 3 night stay: to launder each tee shirt 99 pesos, jeans 156 pesos, roughly $9 USD for each tee shirt & $18 USD for jeans. We're thinking perhaps bring old clothes & discard along the way?

  Thanks for the info. That is pricey. Not sure we have much choice. Challenge is packing initially under 44 pounds. If we discard as we go, we will need to purchase other clothing. We will probably have a couple items laundered half way through the trip. When is your tour?

  We took this trip in 2008. You will have a great time. It is one of our favorite trips.
  
  We stayed at the Caesar Park Hotel, in Buenos Aires. Some in our group used a cleaners that is one block (to the west?) of the hotel. They seemed to be satisfied with the cleaning. I think you have three days there, so you should have plenty of time to get the job done. Your Tauck Director will know where it is. Hope you have Rick. He is very good.

  Like I keep saying on this site, we always manage to pack tons of clothes and keep our suitcase weight to no more than 40lbs. Start with a very light suitcase and find lightweight everything. I have caused great hilarity on this forum when I have mentioned that on occasion I have been known to take some ratty underwear at the beginning of the trip and that I can then discard, hoping that is the day I don't have an accident and the nurses in the ER rip my clothes off in disgust. I also mention that my husband does not wear bulky boxer shorts that take up room and weight, but then most people say that is TMI. On our trip to India the women wore black everything day after day, so who knows if they ever did change or get their clothing laundered. Me, I always wear bright colors, just like the queen, I am only seen in black at funerals.

  Thanks Kristin. Are these US dollars? With the exception of the Ritz, everything else seems crazy expensive.
