~Whats happening in 33 days.......life changing events. In 33 days I will be hopping on a plane (scary) and flying to Melbourne with hubby and friends...where I will be meeting all my birth siblings (5)..........3 of them for the very first time and 2 of them for the second time. I will be spending the day with them, hoping to get to know them a little and them me. I have so many questions to ask but more than likely I will forget them all. How does one put a lifetime of getting to know someone into one afternoon. It is a start and one I am looking forward to in a scary kind of way~
~The second part of this trip is we a doing a mini cruise with 10 friends from Melbourne back to Adelaide to see if we can all cope, so that in the future we can perhaps do bigger more exciting ones. Me and water just dont go together...I cannot swim and I am terrified of anything water related thats deeper than waist height. Then there is the whole sea sickness thing.......I dont do getting ill at all.....worse patient ever. So while these two things are big negatives in my life (Water and sea sickness) I am def going to try to overcome them. I cant do much about the water thingy but an appointment with the docs before we go is on the cards~
~If anyone has some tried true methods of avoiding sea sickness I would love to hear them~
I get car sick, sea sick, plane sick, ... the lot. However manage to travel by taking travel sick tablets. Do not buy them at airports as they price will be higher. I buy mine at my local pharmacy, making sure I get the ones that do not cause drowsiness. I usually have plenty in my handbag, just in case. While travelling I take the tablets 2 hours early as it says on the packet. I am careful where I sit, what I eat, and I avoid all fatty foods for hours before setting off. No milk. No chips. Oh, and I also carry Wet Ones and bags in case I need to be sick. The problems do not go away completely every time, but I work at it.
ReplyDeleteI wish you every success with your boat trip.
Thank you Louise for your advice...I am fortunate I do not get car sick or plane sick so hopefully the same will apply for ships...but it is the nerves I think will be my downfall in this area. I will def take your advice on board.....I plan on being very prepared.
