How do you travel?

So, here´s how I do it at the moment:
-For longer distances, flights are the only alternative. Hovever, for instance, in Europe, the train-connections are very good, which for me is the best alternative at the moment. Buses are small, bumpy and makes me sleepy. Driving my self takes a lot of energy, and the dining car in the German ICEs are a lot more attempting. Using an instrument that can be taken into smaller pieces combined with bags instead of cases makes it easier me to fit the instrument into small luggage storage places, etc. I take a cab from my studio to the train station and use a trolley to transport my vibes on the train station. On the new ICEs (not the old ones), there is an own apartement to store bis sized luggage- this can easily be found by looking for an approx 5m long part of the train without windows. I try to avoid changing trains, which of cource causes some extra carrying, but with a good trolley and enough time, this also is doable. I´ll post some pictures of my trolley and the cases during the weekend.

My instrument is located in Berlin. At the moment, I have concerts spread over Europe, mostly Germany, but I also need an instrument up in Norway, where I come from 1-2 weeks 4-8 times per year. For so long time, it takes a lot of work to organize an Instrument for each time. I´ve considered buying a frame to have in Norway, and then bring the resonators and bars on the flight from Berlin to Oslo. (Train-connections are unfortunately not as good as in Germany- takes too much time and money from Berlin to Oslo)
