I live in the north west of Europe and am travelling to Miami on vacation at the end of September. After that its a cruise around the Caribean...obviously I'm really excited about this but I am also a little apprehensive as I hear the humidity in Miami is terrible?!

I love hot weather and could comfortably enjoy 30-35 degree C heat but humidity is a different ball game!

Anyone got any tips for a first time Floridite? I'm looking forward to the cruise as salty air does wonders so hopefully I don't need to worry about that end of it!

The humidity is indeed terrible. You'll be sweating like crazy, so I suggest you keep pumping in fluids and salt. Maybe use gatorade/powerade. If you have diabetes, you can get lower sugar drinks like Vitamin Water, etc.

I will tell you to look forward to the trip and, more than likely, the therapeutic effects of humidity. I live in South Florida and will swear by the positive effect it has had on my health. I love and miss Texas severly, but can no longer live there after the living in a humid/therapeutic environment. Understand that salinity in the air is not possible without humidity and that inhaling the hypersal or other saline vehicles is merely mimicking a saturated or humid air.
I myself, was a competitve swimmer in highschool in Texas and peaked out around my sophmore year before the dry conditions took their toll on my lungs. I was inhaling a 2% saline solution at the time every a.m. and coughing for one solid hour over the sink just to get things moving in my lungs. I would often double up on the aerosolized saline in the winter from the even drier air. I moved to Florida after highschool and immediately felt the difference in my health. After just two months of hard-core physical rehab, I tried out and made the Clearwater Beach Lifeguard squad. Three years later, I was in better pulmonary shape than my sophmore year in highschool. I have since, moved south to warmer and more humid conditions. There is something to be said about the folks and their kindness in Texas and the northern Gulf coast of Florida, but I'm still alive and kickin in my humidity.
As mentioned above, double up on salt and fluids. I still cramp up in the summer after outdoor physical exercise. I find that 40-60 m/Equiv of potassium helps me, but ask your doctor.
