Funny you should say that. I'm on another forum frantically planning a trip to Oregon City for a conference in April. Everyone wants to share a room with me. I'm attempting to explain to my one girlfriend that sleeping with a cpap user is NOT FUN. My other girlfriend doesn't mind - her husband's a paper and she's immune to it. Of course "J" is a nurse, so she might be more tolerant. I told her we could give it a whirl. I don't mind sleeping on the floor. I have an Aero bed. Anything for a cheap sleep.

I go to Portland a couple times a year. I have a friend up in Ridgefield, and I love to go fabric shopping at Pendleton in Milwaukie, and Mill End, and Fabric Depot.

I even deign to go to Fort Vancouver now and again. Though not this past year. I'm a living historian, and sometimes "play" there.

Are you folks using the hose inline filters? They are about $4 each and catch all the pollen. Good for a week max but help with "bugs in the nose" as we call the feeling before a sneeze. I use them at times and they make a difference and have a larger surface area compared to the goofy little filters on the intake of the machine.
