I don't think you should be too paranoid about it. If you're staying in a hotel with air conditioning, there's even less to worry about as the AC cuts the humidity. As long as you're not in the rain forest for the entire time and the surfaces have time to dry out, then it should go fine.
One other treatment that I've heard is to occasionally treat your lens to a sun bath (off your camera of course). I don't quite like the sound of this as even though the lens won't inadvertently burn a hole through your shutter if it's off your camera, it might still burn a hole somewhere else (like a diaphragm blade). But a few minutes in the sun shouldn't hurt anything if you're careful to not focus the suns rays somewhere internally where it would cause damage.
