Hello all,

This will be my first time to aruba in 10 days!!!!! I travel frequently to the Bahamas and occasionally have to use sunblock while there, usually towards the end of my vaca, as I am on the beach, walking, jet skiing, on boats, in the water etc and get really dark with a red tint. Reading on the forum I see alot of people talking about how strong the sun is and I am a tanning goddess

LOL and already have a good tan going on, is it that strong that someone that doesn't normally need to use sunblock should definately use it? I would hate for a sunburn on any of us to ruin our vaca

, I have since purchased 3 cans of the coppertone water proof sport continuous spray #30 & 50 sunblock, for all of you seasoned aruba travelers, do you think that this sunblock will be sufficient for keeping us burn free, and I know that this sounds stupid,

but even with a tan should we use it right from the get go? Also, just in case anyone does get a burn any suggestions on what I should bring to help one, so no one suffers from it?

You all rock, and have made me hold my breath with anticipation for our upcoming beach bliss with all of your wonderful advice and tips!!!!!!!

Thanks so much!!!
