Travel question

We adapted to sleeping in the light surprisingly easily-- but then we were young, and tired at the end of each day.

mythbuster: love salmon, fish and seafood on general. The phobia can be (and has been) allayed if she can see land. I used to be stunned, but now just accept that phobias have nothing to do with reason. Worst case scenario we separate for a day of activities.
