I did a similar tour a few years back. One thing that I would have definitely changed, with hindsight, is I'd have given more thought to my luggage choice.

I'd also make sure it was lightweight, on wheels, and not too tall if I had to carry it up a motel staircase.

Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.
