Hey, are you on meds that make your skin sensitive to the sun? (I've heard that Tramadol, Tegretol, Lamictal can make some people more sensitive to the sun. There may be more meds that do the same.) If you are I'd get a spray on tan plus SPF 100 and slather it on.
You are gonna have SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol I already wear SPF 80 during the regular summer days because I am so white. lol I'll have to find higher then
Congrats! You can honeymoon there...
Totally our plans. we are scrapping egypt for a free trip
As for flying.....well, that would depend on how long your flight is. I don't generally have problems on planes--I just make sure that no matter what time zone I'm in, I still stick to my med schedule.....
HAVE A GREAT TIME, RAE!!!!
How would I work that? say I take it at 9pm every night, would I take it at 9pm bahama time? or 9 pm my time?
Congrats Rae,
Is there a set day for you to go? :woot:
Nope. We can schedule the trip anytime from now to 18 months down the road. no black out dates.
Won a trip to the bahamas? In exchange for being hostage for a day or two for a hard sell on a timeshare perhaps? I'd suggest using Google to investigate thoroughly the company sponsoring the trip/contest.
Thats what I thought too at first, and I asked and she assured me that there would be no time share at all. Its just a "gift" to the winning bride and groom.
Its sponsored by a local travel company in Brandon. and we can choose to stay at the Rammada, Mariot or the Holiday inn resorts
I always make sure to wear a med bracelet that says my disorder and the amount of meds that i take daily.
Thanks! didnt think of that!
Congrats! I haven't been to the Bahamas in years. You'll have lots of fun. I highly recommend the strongest sunscreen you can buy though. The sun is very hot. I had my hair braided and got a sunburn on the top of my head! It peeled a week later. Quite embarrassing to see flakes in my hair!
I did that while in mexico. not fun. because the braids started to hurt!
Even if it is to see a timeshare, just listen to the speal for 90 minutes, firmly say NO, and walk out.
Totally. We did that in mexico once. some guy off the street advertising lured us in with the promise of a free bottle of tequila, Kaluha and a mexican blanket, all we did is listen to the speal and say no. lol they were not impressed. lol
The first time I went anywhere near the Caribbean (to an island called Margarita -- for real!) I drank too many Cuba Libres and got dehydrated and knocked out by the sun. So pace yourself and drink plenty of water.
lol I also did that in mexico. drank pina colodas for breakfast and then had the worst flight home. so dehydrated and sick. But I dont think I can drink on Dilantin. I havent checked, but I also havent drank until I can make sure that Im not gonna cause some scary deadly reaction.
I now have to get my bikini body back!
