You should not have any problems as long as you return in time to appear on your court date.

It's best to check with an immigration lawyer. The problem is likely less with having a DUI (= OWI) conviction as with leaving the country when her presence might be required in curt. Good Luck.

I would have to see the conditions of your bond, but generally you would not be allowed to travel outside of the state, or the country, without the permission of the court.
