I'll be traveling to Europe for 15 days. London, Paris, Amsterdam, Switzerland, and Spain.
I bought this universal travel adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSL ... 2GQRWA2Y0Y
I also bought a 10 ft extension cord and a "RX Medical Equipment" luggage tag for my CPAP machine bag (the same bag that came w/my machine)
I've read that finding distilled water can be a challenge, but to look for it at bigger grocery stores and drugstores/pharmacies.
Is there anything else CPAP related that you can think of that I need to know or bring?
Please and thank you!

Re: Traveling to Europe for 2 weeks
Don't forget the Power brick and cord ... it is probably on the floor under your bed
I have read several urgent posts form people that have forgeten the Brick.
the use of tap water or bottled drinking water will not hurt the machine for a two week period. It can be cleaned with vinegar when you get home.

If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Sounds great, hope you have fun!
How about spares. You may not have room for much, but I might stuff in a spate nasal pillow at least. Hose?

If you're not taking your humidifier with you, Resmed sell a smaller than normal travel power adaptor. Much lighter than standard unit.

It'll work fine with that adapter. You can use deionized water for the time you're there. You can find distilled water at auto stores (used in batteries) but few supermarkets. And it's hellishly pricey (at least in the UK)
