Need. Water.
Luckily the majority of my blood is italian and american indian, so I don't burn easily and I have to really really burn myself to cause major damage. This morning most of the burn has settled into a tan, but my thighs still hurt and my face and arms hurt a tiny bit. But I feel really dehydrated and wiped out. Far from the rejuvenation I felt under the sun at the beach yesterday, haha. I guess the gym is out - AGAIN. Blah! Stupid Stupid Stupid!!! SOOOOO frustrating to know it's your own fault!
On the other hand, The Amazing Race is on my DVR right now, so I'm gonna watch it! Who has my coffee?
Well, at least you got some sun on your legs before your cruise. You'll definitely need to stock up and use tons of sunscreen on your trip. The sun is so strong out on the water, and it will be the same in Mexico - plus it'll be hot-hot-hot.
I got the very worst burn of my life coming back from a 7 day Mexican Cruise. Typically, it's a little rough around baja, and so I sat out on deck to stay in the fresh air -- I have horrible motion sickness. Anyway, just sitting out on deck, and reading in the overcast weather gave me purple legs! Hurt so bad and peeled forever.
So, bring lots of sunscreen along, and you'll all be fine. You guys are gonna have a blast!
