Cloudship - did you ever find a travel fan? I'm in the same boat. I can usually manage to snag a fan from housekeeping when staying at hotels, but recently I've been staying at places that don't have fans. I've tried using the Ambiance sounds app on my iPhone (which has sounds that mimic an oscillating fan), but I've found it's not just the noise that helps me sleep. I definitely need the moving air.
I found this one on Amazon and it looks like it will pack flat. The reviews are somewhat mixed though. Has anyone used this one?
