November, 1996<\/strong> (continued):<\/strong><\/p>\n

The highlight of my last day in Rome<\/a> was the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) luncheon, featuring exceptionally well-prepared, melt-in-mouth moist salmon.<\/p>\n

That evening I took a taxi from my hotel to the airport. I found myself growing increasingly nauseous during the 45-minute ride.<\/p>\n

Despite what you might have heard about Italian taxi drivers, it wasn\u2019t due to my driver\u2019s driving style. I am prone to motion-sickness.<\/p>\n

\"motion<\/a>

Mom's Choice: Ginger Plant<\/p><\/div>\n

\"motion<\/a>

My Choice (Sorry, Mom)<\/p><\/div>\n

My mother, who enthusiastically embraces non-traditional treatments of health problems (i.e., she\u2019s suspicious of anyone who currently is a member of the American Medical Association), long ago had suggested I try taking ginger root as a preventive for motion sickness.<\/p>\n

For a couple of years I successfully used it instead of Dramamine (the most common over-the-counter motion sickness medicine), but after a while it seemed to lose its effectiveness for me.<\/p>\n

Knowing it would be a long taxi ride (through Rome, which means narrow streets, fast turns, and many sudden starts and stops), however, I had tried to prevent such discomfort by once again taking some ginger root.<\/p>\n

Sorry, Mom, but it didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

At the airport \u2014 after staggering out of the taxi and taking some Dramamine \u2014 I boarded an Austrian Airlines flight to to Vienna.<\/p>\n

Just before take-off, the crew gave the standard pre-flight safety instructions. Those instructions were immediately preceded by an Austrian Airlines jingle (clearly from one of their commercials) played over the in-cabin speakers:<\/p>\n

“You are flying\/You are flying\/You are welcome\/You are welcome\/Austrian Airlines welcomes you.” <\/em><\/p>\n

I had not previously encountered an in-flight jingle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
