A deer Deer and Doe dress - a wearable muslin on holidays

I made it into Buffalo Bill country yesterday (Cody, Wyoming) and I just had to wear my Deer and Doe Sureau dress!  I spent the day visiting the museum, and I had a number of women come up and tell me they loved the dress.  It was good to have some positive affirmation as Mark kept making jokes that I would get shot by a hunter if I wore the dress here.  Better still...I wasn't shot by any hunters! He did however, keep calling me 'dear' all day God love him.

This dress was actually my wearable muslin.  I have since made another two of them in a size smaller...and a little longer than this one.  No other adjustments were made.  I like how I can wear it as is, or if it gets cold, with tights and boots.

So I am one month into this holiday, and I am missing my sewing machine more than I thought I would!  I check into a hotel each evening and get an urge to sew.  Maybe I should buy a small one and carry it with me for the rest of the trip!  And on a high note I still have not not a single piece of RTW this year.  I actually have not even been tempted.  I am tempted however to buy some shoes here before I leave.  The range is so much larger than what we have back in Australia, and the prices are very good too!  

Has anyone ever taken a sewing machine on holidays?  Could anyone recommend a small one which travels well?  Or am I just being obsessive with my sewing?
