Spice: Going away for a week

I will be going to Barbados for a 8 days. If I finish this week successfully, I will be able -between bonus and free days -be free of exercise for the week. However I don't want to. The week covers two challenge weeks so I'll try to do my strength/cardio before and after the trip. I figure I could always get a 30-minute walk in so I'll keep up my cardio that way. I also will memorize or write instructions for 10 minutes of the Taebo abs tape so I could do it most days that I'm there to keep up with my personal goal. I'll blog before and after I come back. Take my vitamins with me and do some shopping there to keep up the diet requirements. Thus when I come back I should still be on stream with the challenge. Any you may have I welcome.
