"Pair VLC with Hamachi to stream your videos to your VPN! Add some VNC and you can control VLC directly (there's a guide for VNC with Hamachi somewhere here at LH). There should be a "Morphix Kiosk"-esque approach (e-movix maybe?) where you could use one LiveCD to catch the streams (if you are dealing with a "normal" LAN)."

Keep your eating light for the first days, and keep drinking lots of water. Dress accordingly if your trip involves a weather change."
