Garrett was funny and talkative. I wish I would have asked if our night, August 1, was considered a good night for the bioluminescence. It was beautiful but I did expect brighter because of the pictures. The stars were fantastic with no moon or clouds. As far as mosquitoes, my husband heavily made fun of the measures I took, but I walked away with zero bites. I was so paranoid because of an episode in Brazil where I had over a hundred bites....so they do love me. I wore a loose fitting jacket and pants but only flip flops so I covered my feet in Vicks Vapor rub due to something I read. Before leaving the hotel I covered myself under my clothes with eucalyptus lotion from Bath and Body works, and a layer of baby oil. I had peppermint oil behind my ears and on my hair part. And then Off Deep Woods. LOL. I didn't buy anything but threw together everything I read online in a disgusting but effective cocktail. I have no idea what worked, but it did!
