Default Away from gym for 2 weeks...advice?

Hi all, I'm new to the forums (well, I've been lurking for a while and reading all the helpful advice). I was hoping some of you could give me some advice. I'm going to be traveling for work for almost two weeks -- I'd rather keep up with my workouts since it's not vacation (and save the full-out doing nothing for real vacation).

For reference, I will just have completed Stage 2. I'm really happy with how my body has responded so far, and I am not yet feeling particularly run-down or in need of a break. Should I take those days off lifting but try do some bodyweight exercises (I'm not sure what kind of equipment I'll have access to) and/or cardio during that time? Or is this a good point to give my body a full rest?

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

That would be a perfect time for a break; however, whenever I traven for work I always call ahead to the hotel and find out where the nearest gym is located. Sometimes, the hotel even has an agreement with the gym and I can workout there for free. But, always I have been able to find a gym close by that will let me work out there a few times for a fee.

I do the same. Typically a hotel gym is a little better than nothing, but sometimes it's a pleasant surprise and fully equipped with everything I need for my workout. Many hotels have a picture of the gym on their Web site so I take a peek to determine what I'll be working with so I can then decide if I have to find somewhere else to weight train or swim.
