One word of caution that I will share - whatever the timeframe. I managed to get the worse sun burn I’ve ever gotten and yes, I was using my sunscreen wisely at the time. I don’t know for sure if the Sahara dust was a factor or not but I’m inclined to think it was. An ounce of protection………🙂🙂 Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."

Cincinnati_Kid Traveler Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 1,368 Cincinnati area	We have had a bad haze in the sky here in Ohio the last few days, due to forest fire smoke from Canada. There has been a health alert here. Hope the sun will emerge again Thursday...It has resembled the summer Mt. St. Helens blew its volcano stuff into the air.... Paradise is an island in the Caribbean!
