Gluten-Free Globetrotter Travel News: December 2016

It’s the last month of 2016, how did that happen? It’s been a crazy month with the elections here in the United States. Without getting too political, I am still hoping I am waking up from a nightmare and the outcome of the elections were all a big joke. Having friends across the globe, it’s been really enlightening to see what others now think of America. All I say is try living here. It’s really quite a mess these days and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared of the next four years.

Sigh.

But we must carry on with life and go on. Perhaps I should tell people I meet on my travels that I am from Canada instead of the US. I don’t want people thinking I voted for that maniac. /rant

In other news…

Where I’ve been: This past month I have stayed put in California. I had a lovely weekend in Sausalito and San Francisco (post coming soon) and also did some visiting with sea otters in Moss Landing, CA. I met up with my cousins in Pescadero and even had lunch in Dublin, CA. (Who knew there was one outside of Ireland and Ohio?! Not me!)

Where I’m going: I booked my first 2017 NYC trip of many for next year. With a wedding in NYC, I need to take care of a lot of details which requires me flying back and forth. Thank goodness for airline sales and a flexible schedule. I am also busy toying with ideas of where to go on our honeymoon. I think Greece is up there on my list!

Gluten-Free Globetrotter wedding update
My wedding venue in New York City is booked, I bought a beautiful wedding gown, I know where I am getting my gluten-free wedding cake (By the Way Bakery in NYC), and my menu is setting up to be almost completely gluten-free. Things are coming together but we still have a long way to go. We have wedding guests coming from more than 8 states and 5 countries so there is a lot of logistically planning, tour guiding, and more to do for this wedding international weekend. I can’t wait to share our special day with our friends and family from around the world.

Where are you traveling to this month?
