The Apple notebooks look really good for "taking out." The iBooks (which are the cheaper of the Apple notebooks; Powerbooks look to be a little pricey) have padded hard drives, special impact resistance casing, long battery life (compared to other notebooks) and all that stuff, but for what you're doing, I wouldn't go for an Apple.
Since it sounds like you're going to be somewhat stationary while on your trip (So you don't really need super-long living batteries, and impact resistant casing probably isn't of much use to you), and since you want to play games, you can probably find something better that's a different brand.
