Urgghh. James and I have both been suffering from SCANTURS. Nasty stuff.
We got so used to those great American roads -- straight, long and often flat. And even when they were neither straight or long nor flat, we were always in a BIG car.
So here we are in Jersey: tiny, narrow, steep, winding, bumpy little roads that are just so picturesque and pretty but UGH they make you sick. And the small cars seem to make it worse; perhaps because your field of vision is more limited. OK, I don't know.
(Today we went to the gym; I was feeling carsick when we arrived... and then we used this fancy new machine called a... um... hmmm... well, you turn it on and it jiggles and joggles and makes you feel like you're being shocked by a very low voltage (for a full minute! Yikes.). You can stand, sit, jump, lean, lie, stretch, walk, break-dance or pirouette on it and it um... well... uh... jiggles and joggles your muscles? I think. Anyway. It didn't help the carsickness.)
So, that travel advice? Stock up on motion sickness tablets if you plan on coming over. And stay away from the jiggle machine.
SCANTURS. Small-cars-and-narrow-twisty-undulating-roads Sickness: It could ruin your holiday.

Hey guys, I have to get used to checking this blog I guess as opposed to emailing. It's kinda public though, so we'll see about this leaving comments thing. :) Anyway, it's nice to check it and see you're carrying on. We'll be praying for your dad and mom on Tues.

Don't know why it's saying Andrea posted, I guess I'm logged into my work account on Google. Have to figure that one out.
