No Fly?? No Worries!
I hate boats. I get motion sickness just runnin water in the bath tub. I can't watch anything that goes up and down, around in circles, forward and backwards. especially if I'm on it or in it.
This is even true for airplanes. When I was in the Corps, we had to fly everywhere we went and I just couldn't do it and keep my innards to myself.
I joined the National Guard when I was in college and became a medic. Cool! No boats, no planes. Just Armored Personnel Carriers. An exhaust filled, slow speed, rockin shoe box. And helicopters. Lots and lots of helicopters. Has anyone ever been in a helicopter?? For cryin out loud! The effin steel pot between yer legs ain't even big enough to hold everything that wants to be in there!!
Then 4 of my kids say, "Daddy, we're joing the Navy", and my wife says, "hun, you wouldn't want the children to go off to war alone,would you?" And I say,
"Duhhh."
So I join the Navy. But I pull a fast one on the recruiter. Instead of black shoe navy, I join the SEABEES! YAY!!! No boats!!! Yeah. We got something better. We got pier sections that float.
So all this brings me up to the present. My wife says to me she says, "YAY!! we're going to FLY to Hawaii". O-boy. This is going to be fun.

While you are in Hawaii, you can get a different motion sickness drug than dramamine that is over the counter. My aunt gets it from a friend of hers that goes there every 2 months for bussiness. I don't know what it is called, but my aunt said it works great.

I think its kinda fun to be on a boat in the ocen when it gets to rockin. Sometimes.
I woke up on the Dawn Princess in the Pacific off the coast of Alaska one morning, and boy was it rockin. I took some dramamine, and I was set for the day.

I dont get seasick, I think it has to do with the fact that I grew up on boats and lived on a river. went sailing with boyscouts once, everyone packed meds or became seasick except for me I even tried to get seasick
