Vacation means getting away from it all, but you don't want to stray too far from your fitness goals.

Summer is the biggest "exercising yo yo" time of the year for me because the nice weather makes it more appealing to exercise outside on a regular basis, but vacations and fattening weekend getaways make for frequent interruptions. It's been a goal of mine recently to master the idea of keeping up some kind of fitness effort when I'm on the road, so naturally this article about easy ways to keep active while traveling caught my eye. And although the tips are all pretty basic, that's okay. The idea of staying active while traveling is also pretty basic. We just need to actually do this stuff! Pick out the ideas that work for you and then make a point to do them, and pull your family in to the effort too, so you're not in it by yourself.

Nothing can ruin the fun of a vacation faster than an allergy attack or an asthma flare-up, and since most of us don't get to take that many vacations it's obviously pretty frustrating when that happens. So try these tips this summer to help keep the fun and lose the sniffles and wheezing:

• If driving, open the windows and run the A/C for about 10 minutes first to clear out dust mites and mold.
• Keep the car windows closed if you have pollen or mold allergies.
• If sensitive to air pollution travel when air is cleaner in the early mornings and evenings.
• Inquire about allergy-proof rooms at hotels, or get a sunny dry room away from the pool.
• For those with food allergies always carry an epinephrine injection on your person and be careful when eating airline and restaurant foods as ingredients aren't always listed.
• Consider seeing your allergist/immunologist before your trip for a physical.
• If you have a sinus infection (sinusitis) try to delay flying until you've recovered, and if you can't do that try taking an oral or nasal decongestant about an hour before take-off.
• Use a saline nasal spray to keep your sinus membranes moist on long flights.
• And obviously be sure to pack all your medications and bring them with you -- but bring more than you think you'll need and store them in their original containers.
