Top CPAP Travel Spots (Humor)

Post by mikemoran » Wed Apr 05, 2006 8:47 am

Many people ask, “What is the best CPAP to travel with?” We feel the more important question is, “Where to travel to?” Our researchers have spanned the globe in search of those locations where hose-heads are not only accepted, but embraced like that straps of your mask. Here are just a few of the “Must Breathe” vacation spots we recommend:

Ayres Rock – Located at the base is the CPAP hall of fame. This open air pavilion exhibits the rich history CPAP as well as recognizing those who have contributed so greatly to our nightly repose. Make sure you hose up well the night before because you will not want to sleep through any of this fascinating display. As you enter you walk by the History of CPAP exhibition. Where you can see the original bicycle pump used for the first CPAP as well as other antique devices still available at your local DME. Dioramas showcase the great moments of CPAP. Such as the discovery that not all orifices are effective in the treatment of OSA or when the first patient was woken from his first good sleep in years to be told he wasn’t snoring. You will enjoy all of this surrounded by the sound of the first Didgeridoo organ powered by CPAPs.

Buenos Aires – The name itself should tell you this is a haven for the oxygen starved. The first time you see them dance the Tubular Tango you will realize this is a culture that understands the nightly struggles with hose and mask. The quick head movements, symbolic tearing off of the mask and C-Flex inspired rhythmic beat will mesmerize you. Nothing is better for a good night sleep than some good Latin Airs.

The Shrine at Mount Airy – Not much is know about the man who built this grotto. Some say he was a repentant DME, others say he was just a hermit who just took up resident at the dump site for bankrupt CPAP manufacturer. They may not remember the man but once you see it you will never forget his memorial. Towering over thirty feet high is a grotto built entirely of CPAP equipment. If the wind blows just right you can hear the rumble of over a thousand hoses and masks embedded in the concrete. It is said this is the home for snores that that CPAP has silenced over the years. While there is no documented proof that visiting this site has any healing power, many still flock to it leaving their CPAPs at the base of the grotto. Unfortunately part of it is under renovation where DMEs had mined the site to re-stock their inventory.

Well we are off for more globe trotting. Be sure to let us know of your favorite places to let your hose down.
