We've had a great journey so far, but suddenly during the night my friend started to feel sick. The train ride was quite rough during the night and we were tossed about significantly more than the previous evenings. At times I would liken it to bad air turbulence. Luckily for me, I had taken a Unisom and was sleeping fairly well, although not nearly as well as prior nights. My friend wasn't so lucky. Not sure if it was motion sickness or something he ate but wasn't doing well.
I've been sea sick before and know that it is absolutely miserable. It's like you're hungover and someone continues to spin you around in circles. Your nauseous, your head is spinning and there is nothing you can do, except suffer.
Hoping spending some time in Portland off the train will help. Also hoping we can find some Dramamine, ginger or other treatments that might alleviate the symptoms.
Word of advice - turns out the last car of the train is always more bumpy than the other cars. So if you are the type to get motion sick, you may want to ensure your room isn't so far back. Not only was our upgraded room in the last car, it was the last room in the last car.
