My problem with clotheslines is that they often fall and don’t always adapt to the particular bathroom you may end up with. Maybe if I had a nice one like the Rick Steves I’d fell differently. Italy has been a drying challenge. We have only one single-night hotel stay (in Florence) and I’ll do no laundry there. The hotel balcony in Rome would be great for drying if it weren’t so dirty (surprise). The REI pants dried very quickly; my ExOfficio t-shirt is much slower. The Smartwool socks are doing a great job of preventing blisters. Two days out of a pair of pants and I even squeezed a second day (spent entirely in transit) from one of the Trip’r shirts. Ciao!
