Good and relevant question. I just got back from a trip and cruise to New England and Canada. Last month we were in South Padre Island. Earlier we were in Honduras and Mexico. (My wife has pent up travel demand after selling our business.) I’ve tried taking my Taylor Mini. It got crunched once on an RV trip with friends and airlines struggle with it in the cabin. I have taken my Martin Backpacker on the last few trips. It’s not the same as a real guitar but is fun with its unique sound. (Especially with drone notes. I like the dulcimer sound it implies). But the internet connection thing is often an insurmountable issue. I’ve snapped multiple streaks while traveling including this last trip. I carry several printed out tabs of lessons I’ve liked or benchmark weeks. It is an effort to stay with a habit while traveling but worth it. I’ve also had opportunity to meet other guitar playing travelers who have been attracted by the Backpacker or Mini and wanted to listen or okay it with me. And some entertainers on cruises or excursions have connected and share some playing. So thanks for starting this thread and encouraging others to share your travel dilemmas.
