Sure,
Copy your BlueVoda folder from your "home" based computer and place it exactly in the same "place" (C/MyDocuments/BlueVoda or wherever it is) on your laptop. All files graphics, photos used to build the website should be inside your BlueVoda folder (on home based computer also).
Make your changes and then publish.
You will have to update the files on the home based computer when you return.

Ditto on what Terry said, BUT you will have the following problems on your laptop. When you preview the page, the images might not show - crosses X instead. That is because the My Documents folder on the two PCs are not exactly the same; computer name, etc, after the root folder.

The following works for me (everytime): When I plan to work on the road, I design the pages on the main PC in a folder c:/BlueVoda/sitename or whatever.

Now copy this folder to the root folder on the laptop (c:/BlueVoda) (for example...). It must also show c:/BlueVoda/sitename.

When you return, rename the old folder on the main PC for just in case backup. Then just copy your "sitename" subfolder to the main PC.

No problem though. You can still do what Terry has explained, but when you get back and copy back to your main pc, you will have to re-populate the pages with images, if you want them displayed in BV.

Else you can move the folders now and when you get back, just copy them to the root on your main pc as well.

Vasili has a bit more detail on the technical side. If I find it, I will post it for you.
