General Reminders: Fainting is Not an Option

  1. Drink lots of water and take Advil/Ibuprofen or Tylenol before you arrive and when you arrive (It’s a mile high city literally we’re at altitude)
  2. Wear sunscreen when outside (we actually get more sunshine days annually than Florida)
  3. We have no humidity, so if you need those humidity feels bring extra hand lotion
