Re: OTOT - Flying

No advice for the motion sickness. I have that problem myself and just use mind over matter and keep myself busy while in the air. I usually try to get a window seat and close the window so I can pretend I am just in a seat somewhere not all that comfortable. (Except for the part of the trip we took to St. Maartin where we ended up in Business instead of Coach. Wonderful part of the trip.)
St. Maartin is great. Will you be in Fredricksburg? (however it is spelled?) When we were there, many years ago, I found a local fabric shop. Wonderful Dutch batiks and Java prints at not bad prices. Had to deal with converting to US dollars, but that wasn't much of a problem. Especially since I spent well over $200.00 there. <G> (DH said I was the only one he knew that would travel over 3,000 miles, walk out of the tourist areas and find a fabric shop to buy fabric to bring home to the "fabric store" I already have. He was smiling when he said it though.<BG>)
I also got a piece of "hand" batiked fabric. white background with beautiful turquoisey blue and limey green. Since we were there the end of June, the end of tourist season, the seller threw in the end (about a half yard) at no charge. Need to find that fabric and do something with it. It is well aged now. <BG>

Have fun, and "don't worry, mon."

Just looking for some advice from the world's bestest online group.

I will be leaving 2 weeks from today to travel to St. Maarten to visit my son and his girlfriend. I am really looking forward to it except for the fact that I get so violently nauseaous whether riding in a car or flying on a plane.

Other than Dramamin (sp), is there any other advice, tips or tricks anyone could give me. I want to make this a fun trip - not a sicky one. We leave St. Louis and fly into North Carolina. Have approximately 49 minutes to connect to next plane then a straight shot to St. Maarten.

Thanks in advance.
