Travel:
My husband Russ and I have the travel bug. We LOVE traveling! Here’s a few of our fav places and memories…
- Napa Valley wine tasting and a fabulous hot air ballon ride
- Walking across the Golden Gate Bridge
- Sunsets at the Grand Canyon
- Tower of Terror at Universal Florida
- Airboat ride in the Everglades, Florida- those alligators are cool!
- Renting a vespar in Bermuda
- Hiking through the olive groves to our mountain side hotel, Sorrento, Italy
- Diving with dolphins, Dockside, Bermuda
- Running along the Seine in Paris—Eifel tower in view. Nice!
- Ducking my head to enter the Blue Grotto, Capri
- Piccolo Bar, Capri
- Guinness in Ireland: and dark beers have more antioxidants, I’ll drink to that!
- Breakfast at the Emlagh House Dingle Bay, Ireland
- Park Guell in Barcelona
Do you travel? What’s your favorite spot?
Hi.
I just found your blog. Yummy recipes!
Do you yourself suffer from IBS symptoms? How do you cope when travelling?
Thanks!
Sonja–I have suffered with digestive woes–When I was pregnant with my second child, I had scar tissue from an ovarian cyst surgery which strangled my small intestine and had to have 2/3 of my small intestine removed. I have been very fortunate to be in the field of nutrition and have done very well with my diet and symptoms. But…the low FODMAP diet has helped me even more. I do find travel to be a bit challenging if I don’t pack up foods to bring with me. I bring along oats, nuts, homemade granola bars, fruit and other cereals that agree with me. I make sure I have a refrigerator brought into my hotel room to store yogurt and water when I can. I also make sure I keep up with my normal exercise routine. I try to pack an ideal travel day meal so I am less trapped by the selections on the road that often have too much fat, onion or garlic in them. Hope that helps.
