Happy Holidays, everyone! 

Will you be traveling over the Holidays? Need to find safe places to eat en route to your destination -- or once you arrive? Or maybe you're staying home and looking forward trying some new restaurants.... Either way, take a few minutes to do a search on our Search/Mapping page of GlutenFreeTravelSite. Just enter a town or zip in the box on this page to access all the places that have been reviewed for GF friendliness -- and see them plotted on an adjacent map. We have THOUSANDS OF NEW REVIEWS: https://glutenfreetravelsite.com/maps/map-locator.php

With the dollar very strong versus the euro and pound right now, it's a GREAT time to plan a trip to Europe. There are amazing deals to be had! I strongly suggest you consider ITALY, where our family experienced last summer just how wonderful dining GF can be in Rome, Florence, and Venice. I put all my specific advice in an e-book available on Amazon.com. For only $9.95, you will get a detailed account of all the major tourist sites with DOZENS of suggested places to safely dine (with reviews) around each one. ( http://amzn.to/2aamE5t ) It can literally function as a day-by-day itinerary and will save you dozens of hours in planning. 

We were equally impressed with London, and you'll find my Gluten-Free in LONDON e-book on Amazon, too ( http://amzn.to/1xv65qh ). Like my Italy e-book, it includes advice on accommodations, money-saving tips, and general travel recommendations...and, of course, plenty of safe dining recommendations and reviews for restaurants all over London. Over 100 hours (and a lot of passion!) went into compiling each book. They're a great value and will very likely provide inspiration for your own trip.

If you're looking for a tropical destination -- or something more exotic or "off the beaten path," both gluten free travel specialists we recommend have plenty of ideas for you if you're interested in planning a vacation in the Winter or Spring. And, in fact, it's not too early to consider Summer travel, especially if it involves an international destination. Ellen Morse of Gluten Free Travel-Us has many itineraries to exotic destinations that, until now, had been challenging for GF travelers. Now you can benefit from all her expertise and hard work. She makes people's travel dreams come true! Call her at 312-337-9235.
  
Lesley Hayden-Hock at Travel Leaders also always has great suggestions -- including many GF-friendly resorts in lovely MEXICO and the CARIBBEAN. In fact, there are amazing deals being offered right now, including on all-inclusive resorts. CRUISES are a specialty of hers, too. Call her at 800-487-6110 or email her at [log in to unmask]

We've used each of these ladies to help plan many of our own family vacations and have been thrilled with the experiences! You can get a feel about some of your travel options on our Gluten Free Getaways page, which gets updated with new travel opportunities all the time. None of these are group trips...they are destinations and suggested itineraries that can be completely customized according to your budget, desired time of travel, and interests. https://glutenfreetravelsite.com/glutenfreegetaways.php
