Las Vegas
So, I'm a lucky duck because I get to go to Vegas for 5 days on August 18th. Well, I'm very excited and I'd love to go, but there are few problems.
1. I recently [About a month ago] got a red slider turtle. He's still a baby and we can't take him with us. We've got a dog kennel for our dog, but we never thought about my turtle. So what should I do? Is it okay for me to pile a punch of turtle food on a dry spot? If not, what else? Should I keep the lights on or off? Do I just keep one light on? If so, which one [The regular light/UVA light..UVB?] We don't have anyone that can take care of the turtle for us.
2. I majorly HATE...DESPISE getting tanned. I mean I seriously HATE it. The worst part is that I tan REALLY easily. It's gonna be sunny in Vegas and I really don't want to get tanned. I used 55 SPF Neutrogena sunblock. Erm, when and how often should I apply it? Would it help me from getting tanned? What can I do to prevent getting tanned?
3. I forget lots of stuff, especially the important miscellaneous ones. No need to remind me about clothes and toiletry and the "duh" stuff. Important things that I would need to take that many people forget/would not know about?
4. Anything at all? Haha. Thanks very much =)
I'm 15/f by the way. If that helps at all?

1.) the best bet is getting somebody to take care of it for you, but since you said you can't get anybody to do that... do you not have any friends that would do it? i mean, neighbors, friends, family, whatever. surely you can find somebody. you can go to petco or something and ask if they can take care of it.
2.) when you're in vegas, you really aren't in the sun very much. i would know because i've been there a bunch. if you use a high spf sunblock, there is basically no chance of you tanning. it depends on how much you're in the sun though. so use it in the morning and then use your own judgment after that.
3.) sunglasses. definitely. i always forget socks. also, face wash. i always forget that too.

1. Having someone take care of your turtle while your gone will be your best bet, no doubt. Animals tend to not eat [also, don't pile food. Animals don't like stale or possibly wet food] as well when they're lonely or bored. Same with the water.
2. Sunblock is mainly for getting burned, actually. I'm not entirely sure that it'll actually prevent a tan... I've never heard of someone who HATES being tan. But whatever you do, make sure to apply your sunblock regularly, no matter what. Skin cancer isn't very attractive. :]
3. I always think about fashion more than comfort, [meaning, wearing flip flops, rather than comfortable tennis shoes] which isn't a very smart idea at all. Make sure to take your camera, and an ipod, cd player, mp3 player, etc. for the long trip.

1. You need to find someone to petsit your turtle a friend or family member. You can't leave him alone. (hide him in your luggage lol just kidding) Don't pile a bunch of food because he might eat it all at once and get sick. The only safe way to leave him is with a petsitter and anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong. One suggestion: do you think your vet would be willing to take care for the five days?
2. Apply your sunblock every hour - hour and a half and if you go to a beach or pool try to stay in the water.
3. I am always forgetting my toothbrush and my camera.
