Air conditioners don't work as well in high humidity. But you could just stay in the water. Between the rain and ocean, Ecuador has plenty of that.

Thanks for researching that. I didn't think about it much, knowing that I don't like equatorial humidity all that much, but knowing that a little bit of height (even 1500 feet, where I can still breath easily) makes a world of difference. And, to a considerable extent, the human body adapts to higher elevations, IN TIME, by increasing lung function).

I am finding I handle higher humidity better than I would have thought and better than higher temperatures. A window airconditioner at nighttime may be all I need to sleep comfortably. In the day time, near 100% humidity doesn't bother me unless the temperatures are also above 90F. Put differently, I seem to cope better with 86-88F daytime high humidity way better than 100F dry. Exercising at 86-88 does make we sweat a lot, though.

I expect to get a lot more practice, later this year, as I expect to spend most of the latter half of the year in tropical locations.
