Jean, after several missteps, I have resorted to sterilizing my Aero Chamber in 70% isopropyl alcohol weekly. This will work for the Aerobika as well, and with the disposable cups you will be covered. I personally would wash (in Dawn and bottled water) and reuse the disposable cups for 3-4 days each.
That should cover you for the trip. My life is "on the road again" - we travel regularly between 2 residences, camping and hoteling in between, so I always look for "easy but safe." Last year I was only wheels down in my "permanent" residence for about 120 days.

I've been giving consideration for myself and all us "lung" people needing to travel. I've been thinking that we all have different preferences or needs for our various equipment, many of which require electricity. Lately, I've been wondering about a portable power source to take instead of purchasing another set of equipment to deal with. That way, power would be available for whatever was used. You could plug in your nebulizer, charge your vest, plug in your baby bottle sterilizer etc. Some units are quite small for the power they provide and could be a backup for loss of power due to storms, etc. Thoughts?
