Are you going through Seattle or Vancouver?

I just went to Victoria from Seattle 2 weeks ago. My father, my son and I took the Victoria Clipper out of Seattle. We just went overnight so we had 2 days there. I brought along my NxStage, 2 boxes of dialysisate, some saline and supplies. We also had to carry the bag hanging pole separate. Too bad it doesn't fold up and fit into the case somehow. We also had to remove the bag warmer and carry that separate in my suitcase.  I used the soft case but I recommend using the hard case to transport the NxStage. Although I wheeled the machine onto the boat, they kept it up front due to its size. The case got pretty beat up and I was being careful.  I set up the NxStage on a little table in the  hotel room and ran the line to the sink in the bathroom. Easy. The toughest part was carrying the dialysate cases.

It was beautiful the 2 days we were there. The museum is awesome. We must have walked 15 miles each day.
