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

Cheers, Bill, I was in NZ last year and visited both the North and South Islands.
