Help me figure out sunscreen!

So we are going to Hawaii for 6 days in early February and I want to pack sunscreen because it is super expensive to buy once we get there.  I love the spray cans of sunscreen because they are so easy to apply.  I will also have the solid stick for face application.  So, how many cans of sunscreen do you think we will need?  One for each day to be safe?  More than 6 cans?  HELP!

    For how many people?  Those spray cans just don't go very far.  You might be able to cover 3 people all day for a can a day.  Especially if you're like me and neglect yourself :)  The lotion will go a lot further, even though the spray is soooo much easier.

    I'm annoying about sunscreen for the kids, I always check the EWG rating and try to get one of their recommended ones, that is within a reasonable price range.  I know the Bullfrog ones get good ratings, usually you have to order it from walgreens online or something like that.

    Oh and I use whatever on myself...haha.

    As the spray cans don't last as long, and you're going to be in Hawaii, I'd take 1 or 2 bottles of just regular old lotion.  I can't imagine you'd need more than that.

    Thanks!  I figured I am going to do both in the end :)  Maybe the lotion for the morning before we go out and then the spray for after the water when we are already out.

    Also, just a FYI...we are doing carry-ons and mailing the stuff before hand to the hotel that carry-on requirements don't allow IE, the huge 'ol bottles of sunscreen. 3 oz bottles would be a PAIN!   What a great idea (wasn't mine) I never would have thought of doing it, and the hotel when I e-mailed them about it seemed like it happens a lot and is no biggie!
