Where shouldn't a "good camera" go? What do you do if you want better

I then conclude that where I'm going is a suitable environment for a
"good camera."
In fact the only places I've taken the WR-90 that I wouldn't take any
other camera are into swimming pools and water park rides.
Sort of funny story -- some years ago my mother took a trip to Bermuda,
and I lent her the WR-90 because it's a point & shoot. She called me one
day to say she'd been reading various tourist brochures and stuff of
that sort, and read a caution about using cameras there because the air
is very salty (proximity to sea.) So now she was worried about my camera
that she'd borrowed.
I said, I'm sure it'll be fine, but when you come back, we can wash it,
just to be on the safe side. :D
I still think it was a pretty strange thing to write in the tourist
brochure. I read it myself after she came back, but I now don't remember
the exact wording. However, with all my years of living on an island
(admittedly, not Bermuda) I'd never read any such cautionary remarks
about using cameras near the sea. Not *in* the sea or on the beach, mind
you -- just in the area.
