Preventing Car Sickness?

I am going on a long car ride soon (14 hours?) with my family and a friend. My friend suffers from car sickness, sometimes really severe. I have had 4 four hour car rides with her and she was okay but once on a 2 hour one she threw up (partially due to coming from a amusement park and her drinking Grape G2). Anyways, we plan to stop a lot to give her fresh air and I hope she'll take motion sickness pills but what other ways can she keep from throwing up (I have a strong phobia of that) and I want her to have fun and not be miserable! THANKS SO MUCH:)

    I suffer really bad from motion sickness as does my family. Over the years i have found a few things that helped me. Defiantly do not read or write, I personally do not like watching the blur of the trees go by, and take Gravol. ( note: makes you drowsy) I found it is very hard to cure even with the Gravol i found myself throwing up. It is actually a terrible feeling. I feel like i am floating on air, or got the flu when i get car sick. Oh and make sure to have something on your stomach ( solid food) and having juice or something to drink keeps me from being light headed. Like you said fresh air will do her some good. Happy traveling!!
