Easy, insure the laptop, backup everything on it, and leave it in the hotel room (out of sight). Insure your camera gear while your at it, average cost is about $1 annual per $100 of gear.

The price of those external drives is as much as a cheap laptop these days. They also have much too short of battery life, but are smaller than a laptop.

I find myself shooting around 2gb a day, buying memory for four days is feasible but a week is too much.
