    • Car Sick
      I don't get car sick every time. However within about the first 5 minutes of a trip I will know if it will be a problem. The upside, If i do not get sick the first time I will not get sick ever. Downside. If I do get sick I will get sick every time.


      Must sit in front.
      See #1. Sitting in the front is the only thing that will easy car sickness.


      Noisy
      I don't ride quiet. If there's music I will sing along, if there is no music, I will talk. Your only hope is that I fall asleep. See #4


      Sleep anywhere
      I can sleep, and have slept, just about anywhere.


      Know your rest stops.
      I have diabetes and something about the motion of a vehicle makes me need to stop. When I say I need to "go" you have about 10 minutes to find a place to stop or it will get ugly really fast.


      Have a destination
      I do not go for the sake of going. Tell me where we are going and go there. I don't go for rides and if your plan is to just ride around and "look at stuff" then do not take me.


      Know how to get there.
      For some reason, (which I refuse to take the blame for) people I travel with get lost a lot.

    Yeah, looking out the front windshield is good for car sickness. I am compatible with your car rules, but my driving is so terrible it would make you sick for sure.

    Not necessarily. One of my favorite people to ride with is my sister and she can scare anyone with her driving. On the other hand there is a lady at church who drives very carefully and I can barely make it out of the parking lot with her.
    Oh and for really severe motion sickness, try ginger. I can't take the prescription stuff as it knocks me out cold for hours.
