Vacation: 3-week trip; no working-out.

I am 16 years old and have been working-out for about 4 months now. In 2 weeks I will be taking an 18-19-20 day vacation in Europe. It is most likely that I will be unable to touch any weights at all.
What do you suggest I do while I'm there?
How will this affect my current physical shape? Will I gain fat? Will I lose muscle mass? cardio? Is it good to take breaks from working out once in a while?
Just looking for some info.
 
I suggest you chase the babes, especially in Spain, Italy, France, and Eastern Europe. That should help you with the cardio. ;)
 
Just recently got off vacation. Enjoy it I say. After 4 monthes you should get a break. After a week or so start doing some pushups, situps, crunches, squats, you can even do single leg squats, and possibly pullups, dips. I'm sure you can find a fitness center there somewhere. Look into "hindu squats" that should be fun to try.
 
Thanks everyone for the info. The thing is I would look for a fitness gym but Im moving around always. Like 6 days in France, then 5 days in Spain, then 6 in Portugal, etc. So it will be hard to find a gym. Should I do cardio while I"m there? I should be able to do that. I might also do what you said Jman. I'll look into hindu squats also.

And I sure will chase those babes philsaigon ;)
 
Actually, it's awesome to get up as the day is breaking and go for a long run in a strange foreign city. Just run and turn down any street that strikes your fancy. It's a great way to see the street life as everyone begins their day. You will also see some random parts of the city that are off the tourist track. All while you are keeping up with your fitness. You'll also feel less guilty when you dig into that fantastic Spanish tapas (Damn, I'm jealous!). Oh yeah, just make sure you bring a hotel business card along with you in case you get totally lost!
 
Don't forget that you usually are on your feet all day in a new country checking out the place, lugging your backpack around etc...
