I do! I will probably start next month and go at least once a week, twice if I can fit it in until our trip in April.
After living in the frozen tundra of MN I feel like I need to get a little base on my pasty white legs before exposing them to the Jamaica sun!
Yes, I have to. I know it's not good for you, but neither is getting sunburned.
Not to sound blasphemous but after 40 years at sea I try to stay out of the sun in Jamaica. Watch the Jamaicans stand in the shade whenever possible.
"Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon day sun"
Despite plenty of contrary advice, proper sunbeds are not only safe but creates vitamin D for your body which is very good for you. We always get a head start. Google it. It won't take long to find the truth about "PROPER" sunbeds.Quote:

Perhaps he's a quack. Perhaps he's really on to something. :)
Yep, go a couple times before vacation ~~ get a little day-dreaming in, in those 15 minutes :o
I do, Im from NJ, its the law here.:cool:
We start about a week before we leave and go 3 or 4 times. I think of it as the beginning of the trip. They have XM radio and I always find the reggae or Buffet music to really get me in the mood during those 15 minute stints. Very relaxing!!!
My wife and I always do. Just started yesterday as matter of fact. Nice to have a tan when you step off the plane, less risk of sunburn from the tropic sun. Besides, it will feel great Monday when it's -4 degrees for the high temp.
We do....Usually go about 8 or 10 sessions increasing as we go to get a good base before our trip...Then we can enjoy our trip without getting fried...Pasty white New England winter skin does not mix well with the Jamaican sun :cool:
