If I get motion sickness in a car, is it the same for a plane? A train? A boat?

Travel Tips
Not necessarily. But probably to some extent.

When and why do you get car sick? Long trips? Windy roads? Bumpy roads? Lots of stops and starts? Lots of acceleration/deceleration? Looking out the window?

Each of what you ask would first depend on how big the craft. The smaller they are, the more likely you will be tossed around and get sick. On a large plan you wont notice unless there is turbulence that lasts for a significant period of time. On a large boat like a ferry, you wont unless their is bad weather. The train is probably the least likely as motion and speed should be constant and fairly straight routes.

Others
In my experience, it's the same principle, but motion sickness can be better or worse in different settings. For me, planes are the worst, especially if I can't see out the window. Boats are ok because I'm outside, etc.
It is for me! Go to trader joes and get some ginger candy for a trip. That is what I do!
It's possible but not a definite. Sometimes I get queasy in the car and my doctor prescribed some meds because regular dramamine didn't do the job. When I took a plane to Florida I felt sick during take off and landing, once I was up there it was ok. When I went to NYC by train I had no problems at all. I guess it depends on the individual circumstances and definitely how smooth the ride is...I haven't had the guts to go on a cruise or anything yet but I can assure you if I ever get to go on a cruise I will be packin my meds :)..lol :) If you need something other than dramamine definitely ask your doctor. I'm sure they can help.
