Now P_M, don't tell everyone this, but whizzing on lava rock was a highlight of our recent trip. 'Course, since all were not male, some in our party had to go to the cooled lava areas for relief. BTW, it is tough to walk on that stuff, so be careful. And when we were there, you could see the lava flows now and again.

Pele, your story is hilarious. I could picture the whole scene. Yes, I know I'm just far too visual sometimes, but one gets used to it and learns to laugh to keep from cr-, no, to keep from puking. :)

Can just ziplocks be used to put them in paper bags so nobody know what's inside?

Or take those barf bags!

A teapot with a wide nozzle? :))

I wonder if they sell anything useful in pharmacies, next to the travel-size seat covers.

"Now P_M, don't tell everyone this, but whizzing on lava rock was a highlight of our recent trip."

OK, BayouGal, it will be our secret. :-D

Faina, I'm afraid to use a teapot. What if I forget what's in there and absent-mindedly make tea with it later? I don't trust my memory like I used to. #o

...you should have heard the giggles coming from the other side of the lava hill while "the ladies" were peeing!

:)hey Frog guy aka matnikstym~ the only reason to laugh on lava is the thought that your "watering action" also provides a backside like buttah!:

Exfoliate!

It looks so great,

new skin to appreciate! Yay team..

Would you hula with a foola

if he offered lotsa moola?

Mai tais better than your tie!!

Lava flows where matnik knows

P_M, I have an answer to your problem. Look here:

While browsing, one glance at those decanters, and I instantly thought of this thread.

UPDATE:

I am now back from my trip and much to my surprise, a piddle wasn't necessary. It was a 6 hour hike round trip and I did drink a lot of water. But it was so hot that night, I must have sweatted out any excess water and none went to waste.

Thanks for all of your ideas and input, this was a fun thread. :-)
