i hear you on the motion sickness. Even put me on the harbour where it is not that choppy and I will be sick!! It has worsened with pregnancy. One thing that I found really good as vegemite. Just dipping my finger in it and tasting the saltiness in my mouth really took away that awful feeling and calmed my stomach. There is no proven method to it, it is just something that works for me. Putting an icepack behind my neck also helps as I get extremely hot when I start to feel motion sickness so that would take my mind of it.
