Janet, that's a lot of places to go for one week!!! LOLOL

I'd go to New Zealand with my hubby. He's always wanted to go there, and it looks like a really interesting place!!

I should have allowed 10 days though instead of 1 week. That would be a long flight, and the jet lag is probably pretty bed.

I am NOT a good traveler... extreme motion sickness would have me laid out if I got on a boat or plane. So I'd give my week to Joel and Shannon for their honeymoon.
I'm sure they could think of somewhere beautiful to go.

[Janet]

Well maybe I just used some of that 'magic' Judy was talking about and made the week longer..lol

Scopalamine(sp?) patches are something to consider for motion sickness. I'm bad, get motion sick as a passenger in a car moving in a parking lot sometimes, but the patches work very well, even on a boat. They require a prescription, but I just call the doctors office tell them what I'm going to be doing and ask for the patch. He prescribes just enought to last for whatever I'm doing. 1 patch lasts 3 days.

Do the patches make you sleepy Marilyn? The few things I have tried just knocked me out... so I am literally drugged to sleep when I should be enjoying my trip. Kind of takes the fun out of it, so I've just given up on traveling.

I can't travel as a passenger in a car either. I'm usually fine if I drive but need to take a container with to ride... especially in the back seat! Makes travel less than fun.

Tahiti - alone! I would take a wonderful man with me, but I don't have one at the moment.

I can see it now - laying on the beach, going in the water, going whale watching, eating fruit, back to the beach. Mmmmmmmm.......

They don't make me sleepy at all. That's why I like them so much. Dramamine makes me really sleepy and spaced out, so I really avoid taking it unless there is no other option. It takes me a day to clear my head after taking Dramamine, so puts a damper on the trip.

I really can't feel much of anything from the scopalomine, I just don't get motion sick. I have thought that it might make me a little more thirsty than usual, that's the only thing.

Sounds like you might be a little worse with the sickness than I am, and I thought I was the worst. You wouldn't want to use the patch all the time, I wouldn't think, but for a trip, I'd definitely suggest giving it a try. It has made my life more pleasant.

I would go to South Africa. I'm working on hopefully moving to Australia next year, and I've seriously looked into trips to Europe. South Africa is like the unattainable dream to me.
Oh, and I'd probably take one of my girl friends from back home who I've lost touch with lately.

Lindsey,

Did you see Mandy's pictures of South Africa, or were you away?

They'll make you want to go there even more.
