First Ever DISUnplugged PodCast Cruise Part Two

[winotracy]

Are you telling me it works? Say yes and mean it!

I don't know....this will be my first cruise....it's just a concern of mine as well.

I have to take Dramamine before getting on planes. (and can't ride in the back seat of the car)...so thanks, Mindy for your info.

I will be ready before boarding the ship.

I used to take Dramamine, but it makes me so sleepy. I always bring it with, but now I take ginger capsules. I start about 3-4 days before we go on the cruise and continue at least one - two days after the start. Haven't gotten sick since (and yes, I've been seasick before). I also bring ginger candies (make sure they are made with real ginger, not artificially flavored) and if I'm in a taxi in some foreign land where they are driving insanely, I take a candy quick and the queasiness goes away.

Oh, and most gingerale is not made with real ginger. So be careful with this one.

Some medical studies have shown it works.
Here's a link to a scuba site that quotes published medical studies...http://www.scuba-doc.com/moresea.htm

A Scuba site? Are you a diver and a diva?

DH was a diver, before he couldn't squeeze into his suit anymore.

I'm still a diva, of course.

Interesting. Just last week I was looking through some long-forgotten stuff and found my original C-card from 1990. Got certified by Divers Market out in North Plymouth.

Yep, so did he. I don't think he's gone in the water since the mid-90's, though.

Just wanted to say to all of the new cruisers. The special cruise podcast must have inspired (convinced) more people to join us.

This is great advice Tracy. Thanks alot! You can bet I'll be at the store getting what I need and starting it early, just like you said. Is there any particular brand that's better than others?

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the welcome! I'm looking forward to it more and more, especially as I hear from all you nice folks. I think it's going to be a great time.

Just thought I'd share my Toy Story Mania meet agenda.


Friday, 12/13
Grocery shopping, changing diapers, homework, and wiping dirty noses

Saturday, 12/14
Changing diapers, laundry, and wishing I was with my DIS friends

Sunday, 12/15
Checkin' out the DIS for pictures of the TSM meet, reading trip reports, and changing diapers


Next year I'm going to Mousefest, come heck or high water!

I don't think it matters. You may have trouble finding this at most stores (I couldn't find it at Walmart or Target), but I did find it at GNC. A friend of mine was able to find it at Walmart in her area though.

You can find crystallized ginger in with the dried fruit and trail mix, or in the Asian specialty section. I really love crystallized ginger...tastiest way to take it, IMO.

Don't worry Tracy. She has a natural herb store a few blocks away. It's called Roots and this is her voodoo place. She will get everything on the shelf with the words "real" ginger listed on the ingredients. It will cost us $23,541.23 . She will take just one of the pills and have no problems.
