Along with the sunscreen, bring BUG repellant if you're going to OBX. The "no-see ums" are heavy around Bodie Island and Ocracoke. Supposedly, if you stay on the sidewalks, it is not as bad. Not true. Besides, you can't lighthouse (verb wink ) staying on the sidewalks, right?

Bounce dryers sheets work just as good as the put on your skin sprays and lotions. This is a proven fact. We've tested it on Portsmouth Island, NC where mosquito netting is recommended.

Has to be the brand Bounce, and has to be the original fragrance. Don't know why...guess bugs just don't like certain smells...and brands.

I'm bringing a supply for our OBX tour group Friday...so y'all are covered!
