Brief Answer:
Until four days after the measles rash appears

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The measles rash is said to be non-contagious after forth day of appearance of rash.

If there are no other complications, then you can travel after 2 days. Personally if you feel like resting, then you may wait.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
