Yes, I have taken my machine when I travel by car. No problem. When I fly I usually borrow one when I get to my destination if I want to continue sewing. Though now I do have a FW, which was a great investment.
I do have EQ6 on my notebook so I do a lot of playing around when I travel.
I have cut out pieces for quilts when I wasn't at home so I wouldn't have to take a machine.
I now do redwork and like to make yo-yo's for someone who uses them.

I will be traveling by air, luckily to the same destination each week. My plan is to buy the machine once I get there and see if I can make arrangements with the hotel to leave it when I fly home on weekends. At the end of my assignment, I will ship it home unless I decide to take it as a carry-on. Hence the need for a lighter weight machine. I've got projects I need to get completed by Christmas.
Thanks for all of the great suggestions. I am looking forward to checking out the LQS where I will be staying.
