And I definitely think it's worth it; traveling is such an inspiring activity that it's definitely worth capturing certain parts if you have the time and desire. I also believe that being in new places has the ability to change your default ways of expressing the scenes that you're seeing, so art in a particular place, at least potentially, is a very personal and special thing. It can be tough with other people, but you never know, some of your friends might want to join you in sketching :) Some of mine did.
If you do keep a travel sketchbook, you should definitely post some of the results up to LJ--I bet they'd be fantastic :D
