I've done that and it's been fine. IMO it's better than leaving the bird home alone for long stretches (even if someone comes over to feed him, that's not enough interaction). When I just had one bird it was easier to lug all of his stuff and he was perfectly fine in his "home" at someone else's house. Now that I have two, it's nearly impossible to bring both cages without a moving truck. If I'm only gone for a few days, they have to go to the bird-sitter's in their travel cages.
This summer I'll be house-sitting for some friends for a couple weeks. I plan to rent a truck and bring both birds' regular cages with me.
If this is a concern, how about waiting 'til you're done with your trip to bring the bird home?
