My cat is driving me crazy lately.
Last night I kicked the dog out of our bedroom. Lately he's been scratching and moving around alot and waking me up in the middle of the night. I brought his cage in from the garage and put it in the living room, so he could sleep in it. You should've seen the horrified look he gave me.
I ended up just closing the living room door, and he wandered around downstairs all night.
We canceled our Cat. 10--and reserved the Cat 12 gty!

Good for you Beth. I think you'll be glad you did, that price is just too tempting! I also love the split bath, but with just the 2 of you, I'm sure it'll be worth it. I'll update your info on the blog.
We can ALWAYS use some more Dis'ers on the September 27th, 2008 double dipper..
A friend of mine wanted to do the 5 day right before drydock, but it was sold out. I told her to do the Sept 27th instead. I'd looked at it myself, but the date conflicts with a work commitment. I'll tell her there are some fun folks already onboard.
She'd never cruised before I told her about
DCL this past summer. She booked a 10 day Med after they lowered the rates and got a 12 GTY for around $3,000 for herself and her 2 kids.
Now she is hooked!
What does everyone else use to fight seasickness?
I suffer from EXTREME motion sickness. However, my life changed when I discovered bonine on my second cruise. The first trick is to make sure you have it in your system prior to travel.
For air travel, I'll take one bonine the day before, 1 the night before, and 1 right before I board. If the flight is longer than 8 hrs, I'll pop another bonine onboard.
For cruises, start taking 24 hrs before sailing, and keep it in your system at all times. On a sea day, I'll take 2 in the morning, then one around dinner time and 1 before bed. When we're ashore, I'll take 1 in the morning and then 1 in the afternoon before we depart.
You can get it free onboard most cruise lines. The reason they prefer to give out bonine rather than dramameine is that you can drink with bonine, and it doesn't make you drowsy. However, for folks like you and I who REALLY need the stuff, I recommend taking what we'll need with us. Just in case!
Also, for some reason the pink chewable tablets work better for me than the generic meclizine that is white and yellow. The white and yellow pills will work, but make me a bit drowsy. (They give out the white and yellow pills onboard). There's no scientific reason that the pink pills work better, and a long time ago I found a bottle of generic pink meclizine that worked fine.
I'd recommend trying out the different suggestions prior to the cruise. Just reading a book in a car will make me sick to my stomache. Or you can twirl around in a chair, or something else equally silly.
OOops had to change my post... Thought I was the Wench..

You're back in your groove...congratulations! I'll update the blog.
I can usually get by on a little candied ginger and Bonine. If I'm still feeling it, I'll sip a ginger ale too. The carbonation seems to help for some reason.
Oh that reminds me, I was going to bring some gingerale onboard next time. I wish they had it at the soda station!
What would be appropriate as a "just in case" to carry for the kids?
They now make Bonine for kid and I picked some up. I don't think DD has needed it yet though, so I don't have any feedback on it. You could also bring childrens dramameine to use in the evenings.

I wouldn't be happy to have to cruise by myself. 
I'd do it but I wouldn't be happy about it.
