Personally, I never go anywhere without my laptop. :-) Being in a hotel without my laptop would be like.... not bringing my nightgown or toothbrush.
It's not so hard to get a laptop through security at an airport these days. Just be ready to pull it out of the case and send it through the X-Ray machine by itself. They don't generally ask you to turn it on anymore.
Also, just random advice (if you don't fly that often), wear slip-on shoes that you can step out of easily. Nowadays, you'll see half the people on any plane wearing shower clogs or flip-flops. It speeds everything up if you don't have to sit down an tie your shoes after going through security. :-)
