Happy Holidays everyone! 

This month, we have some exciting things to share. 

First off, one of our recommended gluten free travel specialists, Lesley Hayden-Hock, has access to some amazing deals on Royal Caribbean CRUISES (2nd Guest is 50% off and Kids sail for FREE). Our family had a great experience on one two years ago over the Holidays. We booked it through Lesley, who helped us with on-board GF dining requests, securing a choice cabin, and getting optimal savings. She can be reached at 800-487-6110 or [log in to unmask] and is also a great resource for other vacations like tropical destinations and all-inclusives that pay careful attention to their GF guests. 

If you live in the NYC area or the L.A. area -- or will be traveling to either -- be sure to check out our Featured Review this month. We showcase an Italian gelato shop with 7 locations in the U.S., in addition to their many locations in Italy and other countries. Not only is all their gelato gluten free, but it's the best we've ever had...high quality, artisan style made in small batches without any artificial ingredients or preservatives.

I just updated my Gluten-Free in ITALY book after another visit to Rome...and a week in Umbria! If you plan to visit Rome, Florence, or Venice and are gluten free, this book is a MUST-READ. I added a chapter on Umbria at the end, for anyone interested in tacking on a few days (or more) for exploring medieval hilltop towns, vineyards, and relaxing amidst incredible beauty! This book will save you SO many hours of your own planning and can even function as a day-by-day itinerary, with GF friendly places recommended and reviewed near all the tourist sites in Rome, Florence, Venice, and more. Here's the link to the e-book on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2aamE5t

If you're looking for a trip that's even more exotic, check out our latest Gluten Free Getaway...to the Seychelles Islands ( https://glutenfreetravelsite.com/gluten-free-seychelles.php )! Like all Ellen's itineraries, this is NOT a group trip...it can be taken at any time you like and with your own family or group of friends. You can even customize the itinerary based on your desired length of stay, budget, and interests. 

Keep in mind these GF Friendly Restaurant Chains if traveling over the Holidays. They're often easy to find and provide safe, reliable GF meals: https://glutenfreetravelsite.com/restaurants/index.php

Have a wonderful and joyful month!
