Editorial Words of Wisdom from an airline in-flight magazine in China. Re-evaluate your
life philosophy in regards to living and your relationships with others. An example offered is that
"if you think people around you are devils, unfortunately you live in hell. If you think people
around you are angels, fortunately you live in heaven".

The World of Food China - True Chinese food is one of the healthiest in the world. In
Western diets, the meat or animal protein is the main factor. In Chinese diet the protein part
is a small portion of the dish. The four main classifications of Chinese cookery are Beijing
Style, Shanghai Style, Szechuan Style and Cantonese Style.

Orient Tour - Our Perspective Those must see highlights we experienced included the
Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Terra Cotta Warriors, Yangtze River County, the Three
Gouges and the Dam, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. There are so many wonders in the massive country
of China. The river boat cruise on the Yangtze was a delightful three days with all the sights and
activities available but also in the great Gluten-free foods we were treated to. The Chinese people
are wonderful, the sights are totally unique and there is so much to offer. If you have the
opportunity to visit make your selections as to what you want to experience.

Travel Bug - Tips from Mike Kong, Director of Lotus Tours - Use your credit card for the
majority of charges you will be processing. Before you leave the US call your ATM and credit card
company to let them know of your itinerary and that you may be charging goods within those countries
you plan to visit and you may be using ATM withdrawals from your account for local currency. Europe
has been changing over to the chip and pin system for their cards but in most cases our US credit
cards with strips are still being accepted.

The World of Food Scandinavia - A common factor in the foods of these countries is that
the food is quite hearty and rich in fats due to the fact that over the centuries of long winters
and cold climate, people needed rustic foods such as fish, meat and root vegetables to help them
prosper and be healthy. Before modern refrigeration, food processing and transportation there would
have been a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables during the winter months. This would have also
explained their use of food processes such as salting, smoking and brine-pickling. In season
the land of the mid night sun produces the most lush strawberries, blueberries, raspberries,
lingonberries, cherries, green beans, asparagus, cabbage, peas and potatoes.

North Sea Cruise and London Tour - Our Perspective The countries we visited were Norway,
Denmark, Scotland, England and Belgium and the ports of call were Copenhagen, Oslo, Kristiansand,
Bergen, Alesund, Invergordon, Edinburgh, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Brussels, Dover and three days in
London. Over the span of our adventure we saw medieval kingdoms, castles, cathedrals, ruins, the
Royal Mile, Tivoli Gardens, the Hanseatic League port of Bryggen, the Falkirk Wheel, forts, old walls,
Viking ships, the fjords of Norway, the Highlands and Lochs of Scotland, lots of windmills, the white
cliffs of Dover, Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and so much more. The ship offered our own Bob and Ruth's
Gluten-free menu which featured just about all the items shown on the "regular" menu. We also had
Gluten-free offerings for the afternoon teas, the chocolate extravaganza, as well as a farewell
cocktail party with gluten-free appetizers. The sights and sounds, the variety of foods, a congenial
group of fellow Gluten-free travelers, available choices of tours, even the lovely weather made this
adventure a true pleasure!

Club Med Turks and Caicos Islands - Our Perspective This Club Med village is known as Club Med
Turquoise due to the brilliant turquoise waters and magnificent white sand beaches surrounding it. Once
again we were spoiled with the selection of Gluten-free foods they prepared for us as we had worked with
the two chefs there at other previous Club Med Getaways. They knew what we expected and what we liked:
fried things like onion rings, fish, chicken, wings, pasta, pizza, pancakes and lots of baked desserts!
All sunshine weather, the sand so powdery soft, the water crystal blue, the hammocks strung between the
swaying palm trees, all inclusive food, drinks, and activities --- what more could anyone ask for!

Benedict, French toast, Seafood Omelets, Steak and Eggs and more! Dinners included such Gluten-free options
as Low Country She Crab Soup, Macaroni and Cheese, Summer Flounder, Corn Muffins, Garlic Cheese Biscuits,
Sweet Potatoes and Pecan Vanilla Butter, Praline Almond Baskets, and other mouth watering treats. There
were cooking demonstrations, tours of old homes, gardens and museums and the nights stays at a unique
restored river-front hotel.

Editorial Many of us on the Gluten-free diet are becoming complacent or spoiled in knowing
what we can and cannot eat leaving it to manufacturer's labels and restaurant chefs to decide for

New Zealand and Honolulu Tour - Our Perspective The tour stops we made had been set up
to show off the diversity of the country, the history, the geography, the cities, and the people.
A visit to the Cultural Center in Rotorua offered a better understanding of the unique Maori culture
along with the natural wonders of bubbling fumaroles, hissing geysers, boiling mud pools, hot springs
and the distinct aroma of sulfur through much of the town. We saw why Auckland is called the "city of
sails", learned why Wellington is known as the "Windy city", shopped the crafts of the country in
Nelson and saw the natural beauty of the city of Christchurch which is known as "the Oxford of the
Pacific". We tasted wine, saw how kiwis grew and dined on great gluten-free foods.

Editorial Money talks in regards to achieving great gluten-free options when traveling
and dining out at restaurants. Traveling with a gluten-free group offers much more selection and

the local restaurants.

The World of Food A look at the culture of food in Kenya. When finding out we have traveled
to Africa many people will ask if we have ever been served the meat of wild game animals. Native
Kenyans rarely eat game meat and neither have we although there is an occasional restaurant in Kenya
that does serve such meats. The native diet of the Masai consists mainly of the blood and milk of the
cattle, goats and sheep that they herd. On our Safaris we stay at the lodges near the National Reserves
and are served European influenced buffets featuring fresh meats and vegetable which appeal to the tourist.

Our Fourth Safari - Our Perspective Safaris are one of our favorite of all our trips. The

assorted animals, birds, reptiles and all the other natural elements of beautiful and exotic Africa.

Bob's Dubai, UAE Misadventure Flying to Africa via Emirates Air, a lunch and tour of the

to be had but Bob was delayed in going through customs probably due to the fact that his passport was
showing that he had been to both Egypt and Israel within the previous year. A nerve racking experience
but finally allowed in to the country they toured the lavish, garish, ostentatious city which ten years
ago was nothing more than a lot of sand and desert.

My Italian Gluten-free Adventures - by Mary Anderson from Westerville, Ohio - Visiting relatives

in Catania offered gluten free pastries and even gluten free tiramisu. So much was purchased that a box
of goodies had to be shipped back home.
