Travel with music
In this category you can find opportunities to make music while travelling. Also, many musicians have encountered problems carrying their instruments on airplanes. Here you can find information on rules for carry-on luggage, and documents for dealing with surly ground crew that want you to ship your priceless Amati in baggage.

Places to go
Cooksville farmhouse inn for musical vacations
ACMP member Martha Degner (Va B-/Pf B+) invites musical guests to her Wisconsin B&B for weekends of playing and relaxing. She writes that that she has a music library with quartets and recorder music, and she will be delighted to join in.
Settignano Chorus and Orchestra, Settignano, Italy
When you visit Tuscany, bring your instrument, and join in for a rehearsal.
Strings in the Sun
Welcome to Strings in the Sun! The perfect place to indulge your musical passion alongside like minded people under the friendly tutelage of Cathryn Morris in the Andalusian sunshine.

Whether you come on your own or you bring a non-playing partner or companion with you, you are sure to have a memorable experience at a beautiful country villa in the traditional eastern region of the Costa del Sol.
Flying with your instrument
Delta Airlines carry-on policy
Delta also wrote the following clarification to a violinist traveller:

Dear Ms. Goldman,

Thank you for your e-mail to Delta Air Lines.

Effective April 1, 2007, Delta will allow passengers traveling with a
violin or smaller musical instrument to carry-on the item as part of
their free carry-on allowance. Musical instruments must be placed in the
overhead compartment or approved stowage location in the cabin. If
adequate space is not available, the item needs to be checked.

Letter from Transport Security Administration regarding carry-on instruments
This letter was sent to the American Federation of Musicians. You can print the letter, as well as the policy from the airline you are flying, and put it in your instrument case, just in case you need it at the airport.
