Hi Wes,
I travel a lot in my job, and right after my quit, I was on the road for about two weeks out of every month for five months. I think boredom and loneliness during trips make a quit even harder, so it's essential that you make sure to keep yourself busy, have good reading material with you, and don't put yourself in situations where there are smokers around. The laptop is a great idea -- that way you can stay close to this site as well! Some hotels have computers in their lobbies or business centers that you can use, too. The fitness rooms are usually so-so -- the hotel I was in this week had a bike, a treadmill and one of those elliptical jobs. I chose to take walks instead. In the evenings, go to a mall or a bookstore. When you go to sleep, say thank you for a day without smoking, and when you wake up in the morning, renew your pledge first thing not to smoke between the time you wake up and the time you go to sleep. Print out some of the posts that are meaningful to you and carry them with you. Perhaps make a plan for each night. Hope these will help you...just know that it CAN be done if you choose.
Rusty :)
