I'm sure we've all heard about how it takes 2 weeks to make a habit, it's just as easy for a habit to be unlearned by simply skipping a ritual several days in a row and then you have to go through that re-learning phase to make it a habit again. Simply said, don't skip out on your workouts just because you're traveling because you'll struggle to fit it back into your routine.
Beyond that, the awesome benefits of working out often negate some of the problems that come with traveling: stress and sleeplessness.
It's incredibly easy to partially maintain the habit by using a hotel gym, bringing your running sneaks with you and explore the neighborhood in the morning, or perhaps bringing fitness DVD or have one downloaded to a USB drive. If you decide to explore be sure to consult the concierge desk on the best (ie safest) places and times to go for a jog. If these options are too much for your trip pack your swim suit, it wont take up much room and swim a few laps. If the hotel doesn't have a gym and you aren't keen on leaving the grounds go up and down the stairs, it is some seriously excellent cardio.
