[quote=Anonymous]Just do your own thing.  You have no obligation to hang out with her every waking moment.  Tell her you have a lot of work to do in the evenings.  Eat meals alone.  Lunch would probably be the most difficult meal to get out of since you'll probably be together, but when it comes up just tell her that you aren't hungry and that she should go grab something alone.  Or tell her that you have some calls to make and will be grabbing lunch on your own.  If you want to work out, go for a run outside or find a nearby gym, yoga studio, whatever, to check out so that you don't have deal with her in the hotel gym.  As PP noted, bring headphones and use them as much as possible when she's around.  Just continue to ignore or deflect her personal questions and steer the conversation, if you have to have one, back to work.

I'm also an attorney and I travel a lot with colleagues.  It's perfectly fine to split up.  I tend to hole up in my hotel room in the evenings just to get some peace and quiet and catch up on other work, and no one questions it.[/quote]
