If you can get something like 2 milk crates, put a pillow on it and do flys. You can even do flys and presses off the floor. In the past I've gotten 2 cinder blocks, spaced them out to accomodate my torso, put a pad on them and was able to do BD chest work.

If you can't get a hold of a bench or dumbbells (which would be ideal-cheap and dont take up much space) then I would suggest investing in some bands. It wont be as good but you can get creative. Also if there is something heavy to press just get on the floor, get a good grip, and let'er rip.
Never be satisfied. Improve all areas of your life: mind, body, and spirit.
When your in the gym leave everything else outside.
When you away from the gym take time to enjoy Life(you only have one to live so live it to the fullest).

get two ropes and find a swing set. tie the two ropes to the swingset and put a loop with a bar of somesort in the middle (pvc pipe) This will serve as a grip. Then you can do suspended pushups or flies. Will work the hell out of your pecks and supporting muscles.

Dumbell floor presses are a great exercise.
You don't get the full ROM but i find them very rewarding and a lot of fun too.
Here's some info on them here:
