No internet? Not sure how long you're gonna be gone, but honestly I'd grab everything I can. Dig up tutorial sites and download pictures, sample maps. Be sure that Hammer is working and you can open up the original maps. It might help to save some information too, little things like dimensions or the examples of skies. Also I'd save as many problem related FAQs as I could find. Murphy's law, you know?

Anyway, I typically check out:

But... but... your on HOLIDAY.

Relax! Don't make maps, WHILST YOUR ON HOLIDAY.

Thats just not right. Infact, that kind of defeats the object.
