Hello fellow Ostimates, how is everyone? I am heading off on holiday soon, going to Barbados. It's my 50th, so I decided to have a good holiday instead of a party where you invite people you don't really like but feel pressured into inviting (we have all been at them). Does anyone have any good tips for a urostomist when over there? I had problems 2 years ago in New Zealand with humidity; really hoping it won't be a problem this time, oh, and there are the dreaded mozzies too!
Be lucky, people

Hello Gordonc. I hope you have a great time in Barbados - it sounds far too hot for my liking. I also had problems with the humidity in the north island of NZ. but it is a very long country. the south of the south island is much more comfortable in that regard and Stewart Island ( right at the bottom) provided some of the best weeks of our stay partly because the temperature and humidity suited us so much better.Best wishesBill

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.
