There's something here I don't understand - will you be an executive while you're travelling, or joining the lower ranks for a month?

If you want to be productive, and are staying in nice places, bring a laptop and be done with it. That's what insurance is for.

Travelling light, not working or being an "executive", drag along your $200 ipad - and maybe invest in one of these: http://pacsafe.com/travelsafe-12l-portable-safe

If you want a new toy that's more pocketable, take a Google Nexus.
