Who does tanning beds before your trip?

[jamaicarob]

this is our 5th trip and we are doing the tanning bed thing 3 or 4 times before our departure date on Jan 25th, for the first time, to get a base, anyone else? soon come

[Jamerican1]

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!

[Muck]

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.

Yes, I have to. I know it's not good for you, but neither is getting sunburned.

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.

Of course sun burning should be avoided like the plague.

Perhaps he's a quack. Perhaps he's really on to something.

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
