You've probably already figured it out, but you can also ship it fairly cheaply. Fedex ground is only about $100 to the US East Coast and I would guess that Greyhound is even cheaper within Canada. I usually take mine on the plane with me (it folds in to a suitcase), but for my trip in a couple of weeks I have to stop in Italy and the UK before going to the US for 2 weeks where I will actually use it. I'm going to ship it there and bring it on the plane on my way home.
