Ever since I started bringing my own body towel, my birthday suit is happier with 0% blisters after a vacation. So now you will find me dead without mine own towel during a hotel/timeshare stay. I got the one made of suede feeling fabric from some surplus store (new of course) so it's not bulky yet still very absorbent.
Also bring my own dual band Tomato-flashed wifi/router with VPN preconfigured. The 2.4GHz band connects to the hotel/timeshare wifi as a client whilst the 5GHz band acts as an access point for family members needing some secured browsing like paying bills or ordering stuff while on vacation. Of course, nothing stops my teens from hogging the bandwidth with their Netflix stream or downloading some crazy huge ISO image whilst I'm napping but the router is just about the heaviest tech thing (besides my L lens) that I'm willing to bring to my vacation spot.
