The wetsuits are great as they help you float.

Can someone tell me what the bead bracelets are?

they are available on the lion in the sun website which i posted above and they are kids beaded bracelets that change colour depending on the amount and intensity of uv exposure

very clever and they really work too[msnwink]

We would never dream of getting sun cream in the UK very expensive compared to Florida.
Lots of choice in shops, (Wal-Mart, Walgreens Etc) We talked to staff at Wal-Mart they
pointed us to Banana Boat sunscreen. Having 2 year old twins, one very fair we went
with there advice and had no problems at all. So we bought some to bring home [msncool][msncool]

Mike,

Sunscreen over the states is a lot cheaper than here, but the banana boat suncream can not be used in Discovery cove, as it is oil based and does not break down in water.

I asked a question about the factos of some creams to a skin expert I knew, the answer was a little surprising. He told me that although the factors can go up to 50 and more that 30 is a recommended factor for chilren and people with easy burn factor. As you would have to apply the sunscreen every hour, anything above 30 breakdowns at the same rate as 30, so the same protection is given to all creams above this,

hi

I have just ordered some panama jack aftersun for burnt skin (just incase), you can put on bites too, i have got factor 50 nivea, plus 2 bottles of (apply once a day) Piz Buin 30,15 and 8. i doubt i will be using the factor 8.
With all of them i will be re-applying during the day.
My own GP told me to use factor 60! on all of us he said the sun in America burns more than here?
Anyway i feel better now that my son can use the Discovery Cove cream and wont burn thanks for you help

We bought loads of Panama Jack while we were there last time - and when relatives of ours went in May we got them to bring back some Ocean Potion Spray on mist. This has been perfect for the kids to put in their bags for school so they can sort themselves out during the lunch breaks - much easier than getting themselves messed up with the cream.

Anyone know how easy it is to get the Guide & Outfitter Panama Jack sun cream once I am in the States? We have booked to swim with dolphins in the Keys, they have also recommended this along with some others but I have always had to stick to PJ because others bring me out in a rash (prefer sun tan any day!)

Thanks for the tip about the UV beads - great idea for the children (and a welcome reminder for the adults too I guess)
