I'd suggest something like the Explore Scientific ED 80 Triplet APO, a very reasonable scope in terms of cost with excellent performance (I have one). It's light enough to travel with and is a good match for something like a Vixen Porta II Alt/Az mount which is all you need. I believe an 8" scope is just too much to travel with, and there are plenty of cost effective options.
You can directly import ES ED80 Triplets and they are cost effective from west coast US retailers like Opt Corp, and Agena Astro, and are regularly on sale.
