As I mentioned in my weekly menu plan, today I traveled to the Diabetes Education and Camping Association conference. My bags were all packed, the frozen food was all prepped, and I was headed out, when I was picked up this morning in the early hours. A time of day I rarely see.
The best part of this adventure are my two traveling companions: Lisa and Mandy. Mandy is a celiac, and they flew from Boise to meet me in Denver, and we traveled on together to Atlanta. WhenＩarrived in Denver, I stopped into a little newspaper shop in the airport. Mostly for sale were magazines, books, crackers, and water. There was, however, a big display of different kinds of trail mix. I picked up a bag of trail mix - the tradition mix of M&Ms, raisins, and peanuts. I also bought water for myself, and headed over to the gate to meet my good friends. When I found them, standing in the crowds, Mandy mentioned she hadn't eaten yet, and wasn't planning to go look for a gluten free snack. She said she would wait. We shared the bag of gluten free trail mix, and we departed to Atlanta with less of an ache in our bellies.
In the Atlanta airport, there was a Chili's To Go restaurant, where we stopped, and each ordered. Mandy picked up a fresh-looking salad, and we all headed to our shuttle.
Because the boy doesn't eat much salad, and we generally bring all of our food with us while traveling, it was eye-opening to see how Mandy navigates her gluten free traveling, and takes it all in stride. Alabama is beautiful, friendly and humid, and we're loving it!
