Holiday Time Again

Traveling to celebrate a special occasion, like a 50th birthday, is a wonderful idea, especially when the destination is as beautiful as Barbados. However, for a urostomate, the warm and humid climate, along with pesky mosquitoes, can present some unique challenges. Here are some helpful tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip:

1. **Consider the Climate**: High humidity can affect the adhesion of your ostomy appliance. If possible, spend time in cooler, breezier areas or seek out air-conditioned spaces to help manage this issue.

2. **Plan for Comfort**: When choosing where to stay or visit, look for locations that offer a comfortable environment, such as those with good airflow or lower temperatures, to help reduce the impact of humidity.

3. **Prepare for Mosquitoes**: Mosquitoes can be more than just a nuisance. Make sure to pack and use insect repellent to protect yourself from bites, which can be particularly bothersome in humid climates.

By taking these steps, you can focus on enjoying your milestone birthday in the beautiful surroundings of Barbados.
