I am away for 3 weeks with minimal excercise. How long will it take for the results of sudden drop in excercise and increase in eating (not big) take to show?

not sure but maybe you'll be back in time but maybe just a tad unfit then before but you can always get it back after a week or so

Do some light stuff and if possible some cardio type things like a good long walk a bike ride if possible.
Working out each day is not harmful as long as its not heavy resistance stuff on the same muscles.
Also think before you eat or drink lots of junk.
The body adapts to the work load rather swiftly so if you are not using it then you will show it when you get back to normal training routine.

You should give your body a week off from heavy exercise every 4-5 weeks anyway, so you'll probably benefit from the rest. As others have already said you don't need a gym to exercise.
The reduction in exercise will also mean that your appetite should drop a bit so only eat until you are full.

It shouldn't effect you much. You probably shouldn't be excercising EVERY day. If I were you, I would plan a schedule. Excercise Monday, Wednesday, Friday, & Saturday. Let your body rest on the days you aren't excercising so your muscles can develop.

Effects can be seen in two weeks, either way. But it won't be terribly noticable. Don't go overboard in eating, try to get in some exercise (push ups and sit ups and running require no equipment) and enjoy your vacation.

what does not bend will break...flexibility in your attitude...you don't have to overeat and unless you are going to be in a coma for 3 weeks you can still exercise...adapt..your body will appreciate the change. you should modify your exercise routine every six weeks anyway...so review it...dance, walk, get a skipping rope, do yoga,

Yes, it won't do your body any harm at all to be relieved for a while. It is the brain you have to watch. You may get lazy. Try running ten miles every morning. That will keep you fit.

OH lord, enjoy your vacation and give your body a break. I workout a bunch too and its always give your joints and muscles a holiday. Enjoy yourself and come back healthy and refreshed for more.

It shouldn't really - unless you go mad on the food!
Wherever you are, you can still walk/jog/run for exercise! Have fun.
