Pick up some dramamine I guess. Have fun

That sounds like a blast.

I have a friend who gets extremely seasick, but she was able to go on a Disney cruise with her family after getting some prescription patches for that purpose. Maybe you can get something in time.

I wish I could go. But, I am going on a cruise with the Barenaked Ladies in January.

How exciting uforgot!
Seasickness. First of all stay out in the fresh sea air as much as possible (stick your head out the porthole ). There is a school of thought that you should keep your eye on the horizon (so your brain can tell your ears what is going on).
Or go to the place-of-least-movement on the ship - the area nearest the galley or midships in general. If you must lie down , shut your eyes and lie at an angle perpendicular to the predominant movement of the ship ( this will be either pitch and yaw or rolling i.e. up and down or side-to-side). This was taught to me in a Force 8 gale in the Irish Sea and it works .
Prayers for release by sudden painless death or for the sinking of the ship do NOT work in my experience.

Who else is / has people in the military - you, RobynMaislin, me and...

Now *I* feel sea-sick - memories...

Btw, a few weeks ago uforgot told me her son was sailing home. The next day I heard that a group of US Navy sailors were planning to come to one of our kibbutz shops . So i pm'd uforgot and asked if he was on the Nimitz. And she said No the Eisenhower. And 2 days later there was none other than the Eisenhower on National Geographic!
TE telepathy or what?
We are controlling the *Planet* I tell you
