Hello Barbara,
Here's the sample vacation routine Cathe suggested a while back. I travel somewhat for work and this was definitely of interest to me.

To me, and I certainly ain't Cathe, the best way to exercise while traveling is to walk and use rubber resistance tubing. All you have to do is pack your walking shoes, music (if you use it) and player, plus your tubing.
Just Do It!

Thanks everyone! I have to save this, I which I could bookmark this but it seems like the bookmark isn't there. Sometimes it is there and sometimes it's not. I don't understand that. Never mind I went back to this subject and the bookmark showed up, go figured.
