Do the patches make you sleepy Marilyn? The few things I have tried just knocked me out... so I am literally drugged to sleep when I should be enjoying my trip. Kind of takes the fun out of it, so I've just given up on traveling.

I can't travel as a passenger in a car either. I'm usually fine if I drive but need to take a container with to ride... especially in the back seat! Makes travel less than fun.

Tahiti - alone! I would take a wonderful man with me, but I don't have one at the moment.

I can see it now - laying on the beach, going in the water, going whale watching, eating fruit, back to the beach. Mmmmmmmm.......

Your idea does sound heavenly....but definitely without a man...LOL I'd end up having to clean up after him too...LOL

They don't make me sleepy at all. That's why I like them so much. Dramamine makes me really sleepy and spaced out, so I really avoid taking it unless there is no other option. It takes me a day to clear my head after taking Dramamine, so puts a damper on the trip.

I really can't feel much of anything from the scopalomine, I just don't get motion sick. I have thought that it might make me a little more thirsty than usual, that's the only thing.

Sounds like you might be a little worse with the sickness than I am, and I thought I was the worst. You wouldn't want to use the patch all the time, I wouldn't think, but for a trip, I'd definitely suggest giving it a try. It has made my life more pleasant.

I would go to South Africa. I'm working on hopefully moving to Australia next year, and I've seriously looked into trips to Europe. South Africa is like the unattainable dream to me.
Oh, and I'd probably take one of my girl friends from back home who I've lost touch with lately.

Lindsey,

Did you see Mandy's pictures of South Africa, or were you away?

They'll make you want to go there even more.

I saw the song and video, was that it? Some friends of my parents are going on a safari there soon, and it's costing them a LOT of money. I don't think I'll ever be rich enough to travel there :(

defintely a trip to Ireland. I would take my husband, John. It is one of our big dreams. We hope to be able to spend a month there on our 10th anniversary. I am not sure it will ever happen, but by that time we will only have one child still at home and she will come with us.

I hope your dream comes true!!!! Haven't been to Ireland, but England and Scotland are very nice!! but expensive!!
