Just got back from vacation and I captured this shot while snorkeling in Tortola. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a Stoplight Parrot Fish.
I tanned before I went, but got more sun while I was out there. Even with tanning ahead of time (to avoid bad burns - I'm very fair-skinned) I wore sunscreen because the sun is so much more intense down there. But to answer your question, yes everyone says I look so tan.
that was very smart (I know you did it before Hawaii too) lets you have much more time out and about I bet you look even tanner compared to everybody's winter pallor
I do it before any vacation involving sun (which is pretty much all of them. lol!). Since I have such fair skin and am subject to nasty burns, I feel it is better to tan than to burn. Even with sunscreen, I got a little red one day when we were out on a catamaran, but no burn/peeling. And, yes, I do look tanner than the rest of the clan around here.
