No shower sucks, but then if you work out you can leave the showering to the health club. A hot wet towel to wipe yourself down is fine until then. You can wash your hair in the sink easily enough.

I really believe that all boys should have to live in remote areas away from anything hi-tech for two weeks of their life every summer. Reminds me of "Castaway"...

If you could build it yourself, you can save yourself serious money!
