I recommend the featherweight, if you can find one. A few weeks ago, my husband had to go somewhere on business, so I went along, taking my featherweight and fabric to keep me occupied while he was in meetings. Worked GREAT.
I can also recommend a Singer 301. Some call it the featherweight's "big sister." It's a full size machine, but made of aluminum, so it's lighter than a cast iron machine would be. Got mine at a garage sale for $20. It's an awesome machine.
However, if traveling for more than a few days, I'd probably have to take my embroidery machine as well.

I have a 31' Carriage Lite. I take my Featherweight with me and a 24" ruler, my supply box, and a combination cutting/ironing mat with us. I take a sweater box of material. If I get down to the need to sandwich a quilt, I just buy the batting somewhere on the road and then just start quilting. My biggest problem is NOT buying any more fabric for awhile. I have a Singer 66 that I carried for years before I got my first featherweight. It was heavier, but worked just as well.
