Four myears ago we rented a beach house for a week for a family reunion-4 sets of kids & their spouses & grandchildren. Since they are spread across the country it is rare when we can all be together-but I did take a sewing machine, and it was needed for some mending & a grandson was taking a sewing class in jr. hi & needed to finish his project (I didn't know that in advance) We had a great time, I didn't get to use the sewing machine very much but it was needed!

I would take it and leave it in the car, so you could use it. Late night when everyone else is sleeping, or they are shopping or ??
We are in INdiana for 2 weeks. My husband told me we would not have room for my sewing machine and fabrics, etc., as we went in my Nissan Versa. Also, he said I wouldn't have time to sew. It was only supposed to be for 1 week, but it turned into 2. I really miss them!! I could probably make it 4 days by the beach and if I had a DGD, but 2 wks. is a long time.
His mother is gravely ill, and we are here to visit her, but I can't sit and visit, read, use the computer all of the time.

Sounds good to me. I'd like to got to Estes Park, Co., for a month and bring my sewing machine and some projects. Now I just the need the funds! No one would fault you for reading a book on vacation even though you could stay at home and do it. It's your vacation so vacation as you please.

The 1st time I took a sewing machine on vacation, my husband frowned. When I reminded him that his GOLF CLUBS took up more room than my sewing machine AND that it took him FIVE hours to play, he changed his tune! I think he thought I would rather shop or do some spa time. I was happier sewing. Now he helps me schlep my stuff in with out a PEEP! I have taken 3 different machines at different times. The Featherweight has traveled on the airplane with me more than once. One time they didn't even open the bag at security! Have a great vacation!

I have to always take something. It is like my security blanket. I have taken my hand work and have never taken a stitch. I just have to always have something. I give it a lot more thought than what I take to wear. I bet there are a lot just like us here. I might add that I have taken it so far as to take a few different projects in case I get bored with one and these are not long trips, weekends at the lake.

Go for it!! I am seriously considering bringing my machine up to Sun River in July when we go with my parents and brothers and their kids.
