I don't have this problem when going to or from work, but I did have it when traveling. I have pared down my travel kit to my iPhone and iPad and an Apple keyboard, and more often than not, it's enough. I have all the entertainment I'll need during downtime between games and Netflix/Hulu/iTunes. I can type up quick stuff in any number of text editors for the iPad (I use Pages, mostly). And Prompt is an amazing terminal client that lets me connect to my server or home machine if need be. If worse comes to worse, I can use a VNC client and get to my home machine in all it's glory pretty comfortably. I'd say that combination is pretty mobile.
