julienneh Are you getting up a lot of secretions with clearance? I ask because I don’t. I neb at home to keep things moving and stay healthy. My bronchiectasis is mild. My pulmonologist ok’d me using albuterol via inhaler when I travel. Less to clean.
I took my first trip abroad in the fall. I took a collapsible silicone bowl and an immersion heater-the latter worked fine at home, but lasted 1 use on trip. Our hotels usually had hot pots for boiling and I used those when available. Our last and nicest did not have hot pots and I asked kitchen for boiling water in a stainless thermos just used for that. .

Albuterol does not help me (they used it during pulmonary function tests and no difference).
I use a 3% saline connected to my Aerobika, so I breathe in the saline hold for 3, then breathe out through the aerobika and generally cough up a lot of secretions, twice a day. I also use Dulear inhaler twice a day.
I found a CPAP disinfectant spray that I am going to ask my pulmonologist about. If I can't get very hot water in Africa, I hope this spray will work.
I have also thought of asking the kitchen for boiling water and I am bring a small thermos for that as well.
