Horse hockey, Pablo.

You have no idea what you are talking about. If you can "think" yourself
out of being motion sick, then you do not have a real problem with motion
sickness. Be glad that you don't, but myself and many others do, and it is
not a psychological issue for us.

Sorry if I sound irritated, but your comment is most uninformed.

Take the ginger capsules starting a couple of weeks before you go. They
have less side effects than over the counter medications.

That reminds me of an old joke.

MAN 1: How's your brother?
MAN 2: He's very sick.
MAN 1: He's not sick. He only thinks he's sick.

One week later

MAN 1: How's your brother now?
MAN 2: He's much worse. Now he thinks he's dead.

We've used the patch -- incredibly effective for us

On a return trip from Southampton to NY on the SS America in October
1950 I was terribly seasick..
Advice I was given by a waiter. Do not stay in your cabin, Get up on
deck.Eat Apples and saltines.
Whoever thinks being seasick is all in the head take my word it is not
true

SUNNY.........has never experienced being seasick again

Hahaha! Another old one:

Seen on the gravestone of a hypochondriac: "I told you I was sick"

And while I'm at it, a Woody Allen classic:

"Why the long face?"

"I'm worried about my sister. She thinks she's a chicken. All day
long she runs around, makes clucking sounds and flaps her arms."

"How awful! Have you sent her to see a psychiatrist?"

"No, we need the eggs."

I'll add, to the good suggestion so far (ginger, get outside on deck
to watch the horizon, and Bonine), that acid-reduction medication
(Zantac, Pepcid, Tagament) is a big help for minor symptoms. The
worst I ever get is a sour stomach, and this knocks it right out.
