How to combat seasickness
To help prevent motion sickness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying hydrated, curbing alcohol and caffeinated drinks, eating small meals and limiting external stimuli. Despite what some experts say, cabins in the middle of the lower deck of a ship may not necessarily temper seasickness.

Women's history month in New York
It's the wineries of New York's Finger Lakes that usually get the most attention from tourists, but a trail of restored homes, parks and museums may have visitors picking up a bit of women's history with their cabernet franc. At the heart of the trail — and the early women's reform movement — is Seneca Falls, N.Y., and the 19th-century home of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who organized the first women's rights convention at the Wesleyan Chapel there in 1848. The chapel, Stanton's house and other notable landmarks there and in nearby Waterloo now make up a Women's Rights National Historical Park, which offers self-guided and ranger-led tours through the area. In Rochester, N.Y., the trail leads to the former home of Susan B. Anthony, which served as a base for the National American Woman Suffrage Association, of which she was a president. A series of expansions and restorations has resulted in an ever-growing museum and research center.
