See from your blog that you have been here twice before and observed through large scopes from dark sites, so a little refractor on a tripod may not quite be satisfying.

But comes down to whether you plan to rent a car or not. If you have wheels, there seem to be plenty of people willing to loan you a scope.

But if you are not going to rent a car, then a little second hand "go to" may be an option. Have seen people pack these into luggage when chasing eclipses for example. Hard to see how that would really match up to your 1997 experience though.
