I have purchased ginger capsules, sea bands, dramamine, bonine and some anti-nausea pills. I want to be fully armed for my two week trip on a small boat. Did I mention that I get seasick in the worst way imaginable? I'm very anxious about this trip, we'll be in the Galapagos Islands. Are there any other remedies I should be armed with? I hate feeling drowsy.

Bonine is the best - make sure to carry an extra supply. Use Dramamine at night - it'll help you sleep. I'm extremely prone to sea sickness & on my last boat ride I was digging the spray & bumps while everyone around me was feeding the fish. No drowziness, either - a plus when you're on you're way to the Great Barrier Reef.

It sounds like you have a good supply. Ginger is very helpful to me, as I also get motion sickness very easily. Another thing that helps me a lot is peppermint. You might also want to speak to your doctor before your trip. They have patches now that are available by prescription only that are supposed to help greatly.
