You can keep it out of the fridge for up to 24 hours though (after then of course it needs to be refrigerated again).

I use a sandwich cooler (small, square, for just a sandwich, with a small reusable freezer pack-got it at Walmart in the camping section, I think a few years ago) most of time, if it is a short trip, or a plane trip. I also remember being told that it can be out for 24 hrs., but no more than that.

We also have used the ice bucket in our hotel room, and refilled it whenever we came back to the room. We have also gotten to put it in the staff refrigerator at the hotel and I'd just grab one on my way in for the night (make sure it is well marked if they let you do it- and this was several years ago <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> )

I also bought a minifridge (holds a 6 pack) at Tuesday Morning on clearance for when we drive and know we will be needing one at a hotel- it can be plugged into the car lighter, and with the other cord, plugged into the wall when you get where you are going. We haven't been anywhere to use it yet (of course! lol) but I also planned on putting a freezer block in it, in case it had to be unplugged or something, to buy a little more time. It wouldn't be frozen, but it would be cold.
If you go with one of these, be sure to check the temp first- you certainly don't want it to get too cold and possibly freeze <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0"> .


I really didn't find it a hassle at all, and to me, any aggravation with my meds is better than not having all my meds and feeling subpar while I'm on vacation <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .

If you are flying, just contact the airline and ask them and their policies are concerning refridgerated meds.

Have a great trip! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

at walmart or where ever you can get a cooler that works like a refrigerator, they suck at getting things cold but will keep them cold and they run off cigartette lighter plugs and they aren't that expensive and that has always worked well for road trips for me and you can get an adapter that makes it able to plug into a wall outlet to take into the hotel or whatever.
as for flying with it, just to be safe i've always kept it cold with blue ice type things in a small soft sided ice chest (soft sided so on the way back when you don't have anymore pulmozime to keep cold it can go in your bag) and if it starts getting warm on the flight ask the flight attendant for some ice, they always have it for in the drinks and you can use the same soft sided ice chest and fill it with ice in the hotel to keep it cold if there isn't a refrigerator and if there is make sure its plugged in and on because hotels sometimes unplug them to save electricity or some idiot with the room last unpluged it.
because all your meds are carry-on items (that way if something happens to your luggage you still have meds) (the vest fits carry on size in its bag, but double check yours to be sure) when the airport security checks your carry on make sure none of your meds goes though the x-ray machine it'll ruin them, that means they have to be hand checked. when the security starts handling your stuff make sure that you ask them to put on new gloves, even if they say they just did you don't want the same gloves that inspects shoes inspecting your meds and call the airline company before hand and explain what you are doing and they will help you get it all on, its medical equipment they have to because of ADA requirements

Whenever I travel with the Pulmo, I just use this little flexible cooler. I think it's like others have described, sort of a lunch box, with the insulated cooler addition to it. I throw in a freezer pack (I save the ones that come with the Pulmozyme when it's delivered) and that goes with me. It's real easy. I've taken it on planes and trains and besides a question on what it is, I've never had trouble with it.

What's harder is finding somewhere to put it for the length of the vacation wherever I'm going. But that's usually not a problem either. I went to DC a month ago and stayed at a friend's house -- I just kept it in his fridge. I went on a cruise in May and we had a little fridge in the room. Any hotels I've been in have had little fridges as well.

I've never had a problem traveling with the Pulmo, personally. It's a little cumbersome to bring along the little cooler. But I used to have a big clunky one that was a pain in the ass. Since I got the little flexible one with the handle, I can throw it over my shoulder like a purse and it's much much easier.

It looks like <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/656/">this</a> . Very plain, but it gets the job done. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
