Stop travel sickness fast

Advantages: they work well, cheap
Disadvantages: some people may have side effects

...Travel sickness is one of those strange things with me. I don't get it all the time - for example I have never been travel sick on a boat or plane - even in a car, but every now and then I'll get motion sickness when travelling by bus. I used to do the same one hour journey every two weeks for about 2 years, and although for the first year or so I was fine, I suddenly started feeling really sick after about 45 minutes on the bus. I found that sitting with my head down cured it, and never actually took any medication for it. That was a good few years ago, and I hadn't experienced any sickness since then, but I recently went to Edinburgh on the megabus, and spent the whole way there trying not to throw up. It was a 3 hour journey and I had never felt that bad before ever, so bearing in mind, that I was coming back on the same bus...

Review of Boots Travel Calm Tablets

I abandoned ship.

Advantages: Designed to combat travel and morning sickness
Disadvantages: Didn't work, look strange

...When I was pregnant with my first child I suffered horrendous morning sickness, but not just in the mornings, it could be afternoon or evening, timing didn't matter. The sickness was always worse during travel and getting to work on the bus quickly became a nightmare, I could make it through half the journey but soon the nausea would approach and I'd have to get off the bus in order to cool down and get some air or to do the inevitable. There are few medicines you can safely take nowadays for travel sickness or morning sickness and despite giving ginger biscuits a try they didn't seem to have any effect so I looked into other methods of dealing with the sickness and bought a set of Sea-bands. Sea-bands are knitted wrist bands that feature a plastic bead, this bead presses down on what's called the Nei Kuan acupressure point on your...

Travelling compactly

Advantages: Folds up compactly, bright colours, use as a cot or play pen
Disadvantages: Thin mattress base

...~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~ My mother in law wanted to buy a travel cot when my son was born as she will be looking after him when I go back to work. We looked around on the internet and when she saw the Graco compact she decided that was the one, she loved that it was nice and bright and thought my son would enjoy playing in there as well as sleeping. We ordered it from Kiddicare but unfortunately they have stopped selling it. I have since seen it on Amazon, Halfords and Ebay though for roughly the same prices. ~*~*~FEATURES~*~*~ -Suitable from birth to around 3 years. -It comes in a handy carry case, making it easy for travel. -The travel cot unfolds easily and I actually put it up in a couple of minutes on my first attempt. -The sides are mesh which is nice and soft for wriggly babies banging their heads, also...

Euro Trip

Advantages: Funny Teenagers in Europe
Disadvantages: Crude, rude humour

...Euro Trip is one of those teenage movies that actually can?t help but make you laugh. It?s of a similar humour to American Pie, rude, crude and a little wrong but actually a very well made movie and in my opinion very funny. Euro Trip was released in 2004 . It stars your usual bunch of teenage actors that have swamped Hollywood in recent years. Some have gone on to make more of their careers, some haven?t done very much at all. The girl in this movie who goes to Europe is Michelle Trachtenberg and she has been in Buffy and gone on to do quite well. The basic plot of this movie tells the story of Scott Thomas and his three friend?s travels across Europe in search of his pen pal Mieke. He discovers he has feelings for her after he is unceremoniesly dumped by his college girlfriend. In quite funny scenes from the beginning...

The Time Traveller's Wife

Advantages: beautiful story, moving
Disadvantages: none

...My husband bought himself Audrey Niffenegger?s The Time Traveller?s Wife as he is a sci-fi fan. He read the book and put it on the bookshelf. After a few weeks I read a few reviews on it and discovered that we have this book so I started reading it. It was a very engaging reading I could hardly put the book down. When we heard that there will be a film based on this exciting and brilliant novel we decided to go together to the cinema to watch it. Well, I had to wait a lot until I could really watch it but it was worth waiting for it. The Time Traveller?s Wife was planned for a fall 2008 release but it was delayed until August 2009. The reason of the delay was that they had to do a reshoot and they had to wait for the meadow to look the same again and funny but for Eric Bana?s hair to grow out again. He had a role in Star Trek where he...

Review of The Time Traveller's Wife

Hamster Power, rancid wine, and travel sick horses.

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...answers (although some have clearly raised a hot topic and have many more) and generally covers a page or two . Many answers are serious , and most are easy to understand (bearing in mind I talk from the perspective of only having a very basic understanding of science) although one or two get a little wordy and had me reaching for a dictionary . Examples of questions asked range from the relatively simple ... Why does red wine become lighter as it ages, whereas white wine becomes darker ? What is the worlds largest possible raindrop ? Do horses get motion sickness ? ... to the slightly more elaborate : Could hamster power be a valid solution to the impending energy crisis ? How many hamsters running on wheels would it take to fuel a house, or a factory. Answers are mostly serious, but there is the occasional humerous one thrown in which...

Excellent travel system

Advantages: Folding down, multifunctional
Disadvantages: Slightly heavy

...Being a first time Mum, I searched around all the high street shops for a functional and attractive travel system. Out of all the prams this one had the easiest folding down system, even tho it was slightly on the heavy side I could fold it down with 1 hand! The carry cot was great for the first 4 months fitting in to the pram snuggly as the seat folded flat (which I found alot of other prams didn't do) The car seat had a base that made it so easy to take the baby in and out of the car (no messing around with seat belts every time!) It is also very well padded, however it didnt come with cushioned protectors on the straps. When we were taking baby home for the first time, the midwife told us it needed them which were only £5 extra to buy. She's in the buggy part now which has three postions and harnesses which is great. Overall fab...

Review of Graco Quattro Tour Travel System

A bulky travel system

Advantages: Big Shopping basket, Suitable until baby wants to walk, Great for Ramming people out of the way (joke)
Disadvantages: Very Heavy, Bulky and Hard to find somewhere to put the pushchair when not using it.

...I bought this travel system because i thought it looked good, boy was i wrong. Ever since i brought it i hated but my partner wouldnt let me take it back because he liked it. -Car Seat- My son never liked the car seat so it didnt get used much. It scrunched him up to much and even though they say you can use it until the baby is 29lbs my son would fit in it when he got to 20lbs. The only good thing about the car seat was that it was easy to fit into a car and onto the pushcchair to make it a travel system. -Pushchair- As i said above my son didnt like it in the carseat so i had to put him in the pushchair from about 2weeks old, this pushchair is ment to be suitable from birth. The strap did not fit properly so many times i found that my son had wriggled out from them, this is not good especially when you start having your...

Sick of being sick

Advantages: protects the baby?
Disadvantages: read opinion

...Morning sickness,ekkkk, how can I explain it? I would say its like having a really bad hangover and feeling or being sick as soon as you smell or see certain things.I had Morning sickness with both my daughters.First time for 6 weeks just in the morning. I would be sick then I would be ok.At the time I had to be in work for 7am so that didnt help.With the second I was sick all day everyday all the way though.I ate when ever I could but believe me sometimes it was a waste of time.I was very lucky that I could keep fluids down or I would of ended up in hosital on a drip. What can you do about it? NOTHING!!! Its your body' response to pregancy.Some reasearch suggests that severe morning sickness usually results in the birth of a girl, something to do with the overload of female hormones.Some say its to protect the unborn child from...
