I also thought at first that the cutter went flying! I have had things feel like they jump right out of my hand as if they were alive and escaping!
Take the blade out and dispose of properly. Buy a new blade when you get to where you are going.
Is this yours only vacation home or do you share it with others as in family/friends or a timeshare? If its yours only, just leave a small quilting/sewing case there. Maybe even a spare machine - pick one up off of Craig's list even.
