I love how everyone who doesn't get seasick has all kinds of advice about
not taking anything you don't need to, or how they don't think you'll need
it...
GET REAL... seasickness is VERY REAL FOR MANY PEOPLE. Don't simply dismiss
it because you don't need it. That's like telling someone with an ear
infection not to take their anti biotic because you don't have an ear
infection, and therefore you don't need it..
