Love being a first!

I’d say most of your pee spots were a first for a human pee spot 🤣

You are so funny… love your humor. I can’t imagine anything creepy/crawly/biting in my

pee zone… just rude! 😅you’re young and limber and shimmying up a tree no problem. Glad you had a female guide…love she took pics to document… and a tale to tell her next clients! Great story Julia! 🥰

Joan, in all fairness to us both, I was 62 when I shimmied up and down that tree. I didn’t even begin to do adventure travel until I was sixty. So young is relative to us all. One of the reasons I write about these things is that I believe that shimmying up and down a tree should be available to us at any age.

Absolutely…love it! Love your outlook on age/growing along! The more active we are, the better able we are for anything! That’s why we connected in the first place, although I don’t have the same level/spirit of adventure that you do. Hats off to you is right! 😊🎉🫶

EGAD. I was laughing out loud while also experiencing sympathetic twinges and cringes in my nether regions. And having a UTI on a canoe trip in the Amazon . . . and not only surviving it in good spirits but being eager for more adventure? Hat's (or trou) off to you, woman.

Thanks Jan. Clearly I'm a glutton for punishment!

Julia, your travel/pee stories NEVER disappoint!!!! And somebody give Angela a prize for taking all the photos because those are the moments that if you'd never had pics....did it really happen? 😂😂

Once again, your stories are hilarious!

It reminds me of a time I spent on a canoe trip.

Similar situation but it was someone else that had to go.

They found the log to sit on, peed and then got up very quickly.

It seems they peed on bees nest on the side of the log.

A swarm of bees came circling around and bit several people including the one with the bare ass.

You cannot, cannot make this shit up.

So are you saying I SHOULDN’T develop a UTI on a river in Peru? 🇵🇪 Crossing that one off my to-do list, thanks a lot

In an ideal world, we wouldn't get UTIs in the first place. Sadly, we still do.

Ah, Unha. All my trips had events like this. It appears that going to the bathroom presents one of the biggest challenges of adventure travel!

Love this! Borrowing your word guaran-damn- tee you - genius. I too have bladder issues - how do I always have to pee after I’ve just gone and of course am always in an insanely inconvenient place

Thanks. Honestly I’ve learned some excellent lessons about the bladder and our emotions. That said, you are wise to be armed with a good sense of the absurd.

This is the kind of thing which makes you take life a lot less seriously. And people wonder where I get my sense of humor. Well...this.

Neil, I tried my first version of a she-wee in 1984. I just cannot get my body to work with it. Not the device's fault. I most assuredly have tried but forty years later they still don't work for me. Do for plenty, and I recommend them to others. How I wish!
