Please give me your personal experience or knowledge.  I am going to a wedding in Key West that will be on a Schooner and I want to be prepared in case I experience sea sickness!

The Captain of the ship, boat or whatever rarely if ever gets "seasick"...but others do... WHY? >>>Simply because he has MANY thing to keep him busy..... running the boat.... making decisions of many ..... watching for dangers... making sure his crew and or passengers are safe.... and the list goes on.....His mind is too occupied with other things to think about getting seasick...... whereas... the passengers..... get to watching the boat go up and down... side to side..... the waves and seas attempting to swallow the craft, etc....with the help of the fear of drowning and the assistance of the inner ear..... you become seasick, or suffer from motion sickness....it is the same thing....\n\nBest Prevention:\n\nEat a light meal prior to the boatride...\n\nKEEP your mind occupied.....upon as MANY things as possible........\n\nLaughter and talking.... also seems to help prevent it....\n\nKeep cool.... pour cold water over your head if needed....\n\nand >>> Do not watch someone else vomit....\n\nAnd a little known fact:  IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SMILE WHEN YOU ARE (Truly) SEASICK! so as long as you can smile..... you're OK!

Key West, Florida is great. We went on our honeymoon there and always return as a family. It has great sunrises and sunsets. It is like old Florida and as close to being in an adventure or pirate movie as you can get in the USA today.

I too have IBS, and two healthy sons.  I would only suggest you let your body heal fully from the fevers and such before you consider pregnancy.  Wait a year from the wedding at least before you go for parenthood.

Hi there. A Horse & Carriage is a wonderfully romantic gesture, and I would in no way try to put you off heading down this route (it is also far from tacky in my opinion). That said, there are other options that can be just as grand and impressive on the transport front. \n\nI would advise that you try to ensure that whatever transport you pick, it sits well with any 'theme' for the day. You mentioned that it would be a small, relaxed event, so there is a danger that a Horse & Carriage could overpower the proceedings a little and there could well be more suitable vehicles that could make just as dramatic an impact. You may want to check out Weddingsday.co.uk. The site contains a whole host of articles on Wedding Transport (including ones that give you a good insight as to what alternatives are out there as well) and the one entitled 'Factors to Consider' should prove particularly useful to you and a link to it is attached. \n\nThe site also has tons of ideas for other ways to add that touch of romance to the day. You inferred that cash is tight, so you may want to think about less expensive ways to add flair to the proceedings - some of my favourites (and they may be of interest to you as well) are the 'Fabulous Freebies' mentioned in the Magical Honeymoon Memories article. I have included a link to that also for you. \n\nHope this helps and best of luck on the big day!

i used to get motion sickness when we drove around windy roads...like up through canyons, ghost towns...etc. A teacher of mine suggested i take along a lemon and suck on it. Guess what, it worked !!....much better than drugs

Sounds very cool, are you going to wear an immersion suit, or something to protect you from the cold water? Is the Zoar sport a "sit on top"? I like those best as it forces you to wear some kind of Cold water suit, and if you go over it's bum first, feet last to get back on. Take care, and don't forget to wear your PFD.

If you'd like to take a cruise and you don't really care where you go - www.vacationstogo.com is awesome.  If you wait until a couple of weeks before the cruise you can get up to 75% off on a cruise (but waiting that late will make it harder to go on a specific cruise)  If you want to be more specific you can book in advance and still save money.\n\nMy husband and I used this service to go on a cruise and it was awesome!  The only things to keep in mind are that the "shore excursions" cost extra so you'll need to bring money for those.  They range in price from $30 to $150 depending on what it is you're doing.  I wanted to do this one where you got to ride a horse and then actually swim with the horse; unfortunately after we bought the tickets we found out I was pregnant so no horse back riding for me :) \n\nIf that's too much - camping, closest amusement park, etc.  You can find cheap deals on line for lots of hotels but before you reserve sometimes you can call the hotel itself, tell them you're planning your honeymoon, and ask if they offer any specials and just see which is cheapest.\n\nCongrats on the wedding!

Depends what rocks your boat really. My partner and I like this activity but not everyone does. That's life. Just as long as you have fun!!

I'm currently living in Ireland (cold compared to old home of Jersey) and find it damn near IMPOSSIBLE to go out without a coat. The extreme cold can mess with your immune system and make you a lot more susceptible to illnesses. And the Irish here say that if you go out with a wet head, it can cause paralysis... Don't ask-whoever said that was most likely drunk.

Good! Just sail on the same course that is making you so happy and feeling great. Why need suggestions? Think about crossing the bridge only when you come to it. All the best.

Not a silly question. There is tons of information about traditional Pacific voyaging techniques at the website linked below.\n\nI answered a similar question some weeks ago.\n\nI think this link will take you to my other answer:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=A9G_RoOEY1hEI_AAomTsy6IX?qid=1006033102780

When I visited Chicago I really was entranced by the Navy Pier and the boat ride they had- something like a dinner cruise.  I would think that would be a VERY gorgeous place to have the reception- i think it is about an hour and a half long.

My son is also in the Submarine Force. And I know you're probably worried sick, but you do NOT want this question answered on this public forum for his safety. Have you tried e-mailing him on the boat?\n\nTry to hang in there and always remember, like one of the others said, no news is good news.\n\nNavy Hugs!

~There is an excellent outfitter in Torreon, but they don't take you to blue water.  You can charter a boat for under 200 pesos, and the waters they sail will never make you seasick.
