I agree with scowlcat. I'd look into the possibility of renting or borrowing a machine to use while there. You wouldn't have to be bothered with managing it through airports or wondering if it will successfully make the trip both ways with you and in a timely manner. Too, it will already be compatible with their power source.

Well if you don't already have a featherweight, and would like to have one, there are always several available on Ebay in other countries with the 220. Then you wouldn't have to carry it there. I used to travel with my FW on 2 week business trips, but not any more with the airport security rules. Afraid they wouldn't let me take it as a carry on, it being metal. Does anyone know for sure if airport security would let me carry it on the airplane?

Wishes for a speedy recovery for your Mother. Something you might want to consider is to purchase the machine after you arrive at your Mother's. Due to all the airline restrictions and charges, and the difference in the electrical wiring differences. Just a thought. Have a safe trip.
