OSH
I had an experience flying to OSH'19. First time there and the first long xc in my newly minted -10. After getting some gas south of Gary,IN the wife and I took to the lakeshore route around Chicago. It was hot and bumpy and the wife started getting sick just north of Chicago. I continued toward the Fisk arrival while trying to keep her calm and not come unhinged. While approaching Fisk she was not doing good so I went to the higher/faster arrival altitude. We had planned for her to help with traffic and get the appropriate approach instructions as I needed them. At this point she was curled up in a fetal position in the right seat sweating profusely. I was on my own and also talking to her to calm her( not working). I had my hands full looking for traffic, following arrival instructions and trying to calm her while keeping my hand on the mixture knob on my throttle quad in case she shifted from being in a fetal position. Then they instructed me to make short short approach because of traffic coming from warbird island, basically wings level and touchdown. Still managed to touch on the yellow dot. Not a fun arrival and longgg taxi to HB parking. It was several hours before she felt better. Hopefully OSH '21 will be a easier arrival.
