Fortunately, a retired family friend loaned the generator from his illicit moonshine operation and I was able to stay as planned. Be adaptable and creative in solving problems. Know the local resources. That was a week to remember. Take or have access to an alternate power source, such as a battery.
Travel is exciting and rewarding, but always be prepared for the unexpected.
Electricity may not be reliable, particularly in less developed regions. In Majorca, for example, I operated the ventilator from battery because of frequent blackouts. Fortunately, the crew adapted their wiring and set me up with their emergency generator for use during the night. Have a backup ventilator. Never be separated from your ventilator.
