I haven't had problems with motion sickness, but for some reason I always get nauseus that first day on the ship, probably because I tend to chug that first bahama mama.Anyhoo, there is no way I could eat anything with ginger in it, I hate the taste. So DH bought some ginger pills and I take those and it calms my stomach right down. When we had a rocky night in October our tablemates were getting queezy and I told them to order some gingerale from room service. The next night they thanked us because it really helped them.
Me too! Even down to chugging that first bahama mama!
Although I haven't tried the ginger pills. I have tried bonine, but even though it's suppose to be less drowsy...it knocks me out. I can usually get by without anything as long as the ship isn't rocking too much.
We've gone with a "black" color scheme so it doesn't really matter that we now have 4 different sets.
One thing to note about cheap luggage...(think Target $40 for a set of 8) is that is doesn't hold up very well. The airline handlers are very rough as well as the dock handlers. Last cruise i lost about 4 pieces to various damage/implosion. (it was the cheapy set) I replaced the larger cases we lost with a slightly higher quality this time.
For myself i am going with one rolling garment bag; one large case.
DH will get two larger cases for himself. (of course my shoes & other stuff will be in one of them.
That's what we have. All that cheap matching BLACK luggage from target. It doesn't hold up well, but I can't bring myself to buy the expensive stuff when the handlers just toss them all over the place.
DH & I are both bringing 1 large rolling case, a rolling garment, and rolling carry-ons, and the kids will each bring a medium case & 1 rolling carry-on. We might bring a duffel bag too for the booze on & gifts home, but don't know how we'll carry it?
We used to have this manager that would sign every single email with a liteny of adjectives:
"Have a wonderful, stupendous, fantastic day everyone!!!"
It used to drive me crazy.
I have to say I am really, ecstatic, thrilled, stupendisly happy she decided to find another job.
I really appreciate when you post this Tom, because I spend so much time here that I forget to go there!
I always go to the craft store and buy a roll of the most "out there/obnoxious" ribbon and attach one or more of them onto all of our carry ons and checked bags.. I've never seen someone whose had the same ribbon yet.... (i've had dog print/bright red with polka dot/tye dye in the past...)
BTW everyone... My mother has now claimed twice that airport security has hid bags from her and that this caused her to leave them at the security checkpoint. DH and i have a habit of counting everything we have before we go through and then afterwards. (Usually only our shoes go through seperately. I don't think they'd be keeping those.
If my Mother would do this and listen to me.She wouldn't have had any problems....
I used to have big lime green scarfs tied on mine but the handlers would tie big knots in them (I guess they bugged them) and they got all ratty & torn. Now I'm thinking of putting some Mickey stickers all over them, but I doubt they'll stay. I wonder if I put glue over them if it would hold them better?
My DS11 USUALLY turns his work in, but since he forgets to put his name, he doesn't always get credit for it. Plus he is so distracted when he does his work at home that it takes hours to get his it done. He spends more time complaining about what he has to do instead of actually doing it. Sometimes I'll walk through the dining room & his pencils will be shooting each other! "Do your homework! Do your homework!" I can't tell you how many times a night I say it!
Our Doctor said we should just take it the whole time on ship so it keeps working if we need it!!
