Hi Misty!

I saw where there were typhoons in Japan. Are you feeling any more motion than what is normal? What do you do to help you feel better when the ocean is rough?

Thanks for your answer. I am thinking of you!

warmly,

Maggie

Well, we haven't been out to the ship yet and we'll see how the crossing goes! We have heard that the first group that went out (more details in my July 16 post) experienced 9 meter swells and spent much of the 1-2 day transit in their bunks! I have brought ginger candy to help with mild motion sickness and some prescription medication in case it gets so rough that I am actually sick. Usually, in mild weather, I am fine and if I needed to work on my computer when we were moving last year, I just did it laying down in my bunk. Keeping food in my stomach and taking lots of naps also helped. I'll let you know how it is when we leave in a day or two!Misty
