Define what is long, and what devices you'll be bringing.

Gaming-worthy laptop? Buy Kerbal Space Program.

Only Android/iOS devices? Download the Kindle app and peruse the free e-books - there's a lot of good ones.

Also, obviously, the Dark Side of the Moon album of Pink Floyd.

I heard Fallout:Shelter was a good Android game.

And if you're not above downloading movies (reminder: downloading music, in most places, is just as bad an offence if you haven't bought it), there's the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe that is amazing.

And if you like/are open to anime, there's quite a few to try out - Paprika, Paranoia Agent, Children who chased lost voices, Patema Inverted, anything by Hayao Miyazaki, Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

I rescued a Kerbal from orbit for the first time this Monday. It was the first time in a long time that I have felt nervous and excited during a video game, and I've been playing since '89.

Yeah.

It gets more fun when you put people down on planets.

The dV cost to extract Kerbals from a gravity well is ENORMOUS.
