ok; so kristy and i went to Kuai'i for our honemoon, and were only in the water for about 3 hours.

it was awesome; we were where the river emptied into the ocean. you could see the freshwater mix with the salt water. it was a strange mix of ice cold fresh water and very warm saltwater.

anyway, kristy was starting to get a little pink, so i said; "I think you're getting burned" even though she had spf 50 waterproof sunblock on.

she said; "you look a little pink, too" but just barely.

so we went in......after a couple of hours, we were red as lobsters and in excruciating pain.

 

this is me on day 3.......

I remember getting 2nd degree sunburns at my year 8 swimming carnival all over my shoulders and upper back, I was NOT HAPPY JAN!

ouch!!! sunburn is bad - especially on your honeymoon...

 

We went to Thailand for 6 weeks and whilst in phuket Steve got badly burnt on his legs, so bad he swelled up, we got a spray on anesthetic which helped with the pain, but he couldn't wear shoes or thongs....we were walking through bangkok airport on an international flight and were spoken to by a number of officials (with guns) about no shoes, when he showed them the rest of his legs they pittied us and let him on with out shoes!

 

Lesley ;)

Congratulations, you have now joined that other group.

 

Those that have, as opposed to those that are going to!

 

I feel your pain, Brother!

Thats gotta hurt, bet it stings like a.....bee ;)

no, more like someone was uncarefully shaving layers of my skin with a dull razorblade...

i had to lay on my belly, and on day/night 6 i awoke to find my back "leaking" over my shoulders and soaking the bed sheet.

the trip back took a day longer than usual, so we were on 4 days w/o a shower and i was feeling pretty rank

I thought skin cancer was enough of a deterrent in its own right...obveously not?
