Every time we fly a long way, B gets motion sick causing severe nausea and malaise and it puts him out for at least a day.  I determined this time that I was going to kill the roach with a grenade if that’s what it took.  As with everything, I approached it by reading all over the internet and asking his Dr. and the pharmacist what we could do.  It turned out he could take dramamine, but the pharmacist recommended dramamine without the drowsy component.  Combined with ginger tea, candied ginger, not working on his computer or ipad but instead listening to a book on tape, he did not get sick! (I also had peppermint tea, fresh ginger, homeopathic remedies – an entire carry on bag full of stuff) First time ever not getting sick, yay me!…and then just like life likes to balance the universe and make you realize you can’t control everything, I got a cold instead.

The country had a contest to have an official bottled water of Croatia. The winner tastes great and each bottle has a different positive message on it. We took a few photos of them since I thought they were so cool.  It took us about 23 hours to get home with 2 layovers and a delay but I highly recommend Croatia. It is a very close second to our amazing trip to Italy….I think if they were opposed to skin, bones, heads, tails, tentacles and anchovies in their food and I didn’t get a cold, it would probably win.  The people are friendly, helpful and from what we could tell, mostly happy in addition to their impressive heights.  Such great memories.  Until the next adventure……..
