Answer 1

wait til you get where you are going and use heavy objects as weights. take a book with exercises that dont need gym products. jog but not at mid day if its a hot climate. ask what the locals do. if the worst comes to the worst have a break from your exercise routine it will make you work harder when you return- i took two years out of training, returned to my sport for six months and took the gb championship that year

Pilate's bands are the best and easiest travel equipment to get. You can purchase them at any sporting goods store and some department stores carry them, If you're a Wal Mart shopper, you can probably find them there too. Once you get to where you are going, something as simple as a couple of full soup cans makes for a great set of weights.
Have a super time.

Buy 3 different strength bands, either flat Dyna bands or fancy ones with handles.
Squats for hips & legs, calf raises (for calves)
Press ups for shoulders and arm
Tricep dips off chair for shoulders and arms
Sit ups for abs (vary timing and direction)
Use bands for Biceps, Lat raise, Forward Raise and Upper Back (Squeeze shoulder blades together ) Plenty of cheap books around to help with the above.
