you will not lose "everything" you gained in the past 2 years by taking a layoff... in fact it might be good for you.... but if you are really worried, you can always do push-ups, pull-ups, bodyweight squats anywhere.
thanks for the advise!anyone else wishes to comment please do!
If you have that solid on your training, a couple weeks off will not hurt you. After a while I always take a week off here and there, I come back stronger and feeling better. Diet on vacation is tough, you are on vacation to have a good time, not to be counting carbs. Just try to keep it half way decent and stay away ffom Soda's and and junk/fast food as much as possible. And most importantly enjoy your vacation.
It is actually good to take a week or two off after every 6-12 weeks of training. Sometimes your body needs a rest. It would promote more muscle growth, and you will be more mentally focused on the gym when you get back. Enjoy yourself and listen to lefty's advice about food consumption.
