traveling abroad w pt equip

[igotalife]

Hey
i'm going on another trip-this time to France. Everytime i go away abroad i face the same dilemma of chest pt.
i am very compliant and do not want to miss pt but also want to enjoy my traveling.
i don't want to resort to accapella ect...it just isn't the same for me.
i really want to bring my vest but i'm worried about it well for lack of better words, exploding.
i had a neb burn out on me in prague, cz once and it was the worst thing ever.

hubby could do manual for me, but again i prefer vest so i can be independant.
and there's the neb ques- have a smal portable omron which i hate bc its so slow. the fact is i just know i won't do treatments w it bc it will take about 80 mins in all if i use that.

trying to figure out what to do here.

what have u guys done out there that are travelers..esp 'world' travelers?

thanks alot!

If you travel a lot (or hell, even if you don't) look into getting an eFlow to do your nebs. (Check out NoExcuses Blog for information regarding it) Small, silent, and runs on batteries! No worries about it breaking or the plug not working, just take enough batteries.

As for your vest, I can't offer much advice there... perhaps take a power strip (extension cord with plugs + a fuse inside) and attach that to the wall with a plug adapter? That way if it still "blows up" it will short the power strip, not the vest.

every time i go to europe i bring my vest..... depending on what type of Vest you have, it will "blow up" without an adapter (not to change the plug size... but one that weights about 50 lbs).

if you happen to have the HillRom 104 it will work in Europe without an adapter. I kept my even after I got my respirtech for that very reason.

i bought a european PARI compressor (about $200) that I bring with me.... i go to europe so often that it's worth it. US compressors will not work there, except with an adapter which is super heavy and about $50-$100.
