What You Need to Know When Traveling To Las Vegas During the Pandemic
Whether visiting for world-class shows and live music, casinos, or stunning natural landscapes, Las Vegas remains one of travelers' top bucket list destinations. However, like anywhere else, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on this city, with many of Vegas' attractions closing their doors for prolonged periods or modifying their hours, so they are not open late at night or during the week.
Las Vegas is following suit and moving back into the swing of welcoming tourists to its city for travel as the world begins to return to some degree of normality. As long as you're careful, take precautions, and prepare for your visit, you can still have a great time in Las Vegas. Here are a few things you should know before making your trip to Sin City and The Strip. Can You Still Get a Discounted Hotel Rate in Las Vegas? Hotel prices in Vegas have decreased on average by $10 from last year due to a fall in bookings amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. So what does this mean for travelers? Although hotel prices are up in other parts of the country, you can still get some fantastic deals on hotels in Las Vegas because there are currently many empty hotel rooms. Therefore, hoteliers are fighting for reservations. All the hotels I've stayed at during the pandemic have extra precautions, including deep cleaning and sanitization. Some hotels have requested that staff be fully vaccinated or undertake regular testing before shifts.

Great Gluten Free Recipes and Gluten Free Dessert Recipes for the Holidays
When you're cooking or baking gluten-free for the first time, you may not know what recipes are good and where to find recipes that won't let you down. I understand how challenging this can be as I went through my first holiday season with only a couple months of being Celiac under my belt!
Although I haven't made all these recipes, they are from trusted gluten-free sites that I have used in the past and have created amazing gluten-free dishes that my entire family enjoys even my family members that aren't gluten-free! Of course, my favorite part of any food creation is making and eating dessert! You'll find plenty of dessert ideas on my blog. Find more great information about baking gluten-free in my podcast and useful travel information in my new book The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free. Gluten Free Travel Snacks and Food for COVID Camping
I love camping. I love the outdoors, sleeping outside, sleeping in my hammock, having a campfire every night, not caring about smelling like campfire smoke or makeup. The beautiful trails I hike and the out-of-the-way places I find when I’m taking that road trip to my next camping spot. There are so many things to love!
Storing Food for COVID Camping Ice Use dry ice! There are several reasons not to use regular ice in your cooler.
Be careful not to touch dry ice with your hands as you can get a burn. Handle with paper or a towel! Although a bit more expensive, dry ice is worth the extra cost because of the benefits listed above. Coolers Best cooler: Yeti coolers they are pretty pricey, starting at $79.99 for a lunchbox, however; they are the best option when you are not going to be near any dry ice for days. The description from their website reads, “Extreme insulation power and durability are bare minimum requirements for every cooler we make — and we never stop there. Our hard coolers don’t flinch in the face of snowstorms, the beating sun, or even bears, and our soft coolers are leakproof, waterproof, and quick to carry. As for our foldable lunch bag, that’s only for those of you who enjoy ice-cold drinks and a fresh meal on your lunch menu.” What You Can Eat On a Gluten-Free Diet
Let’s face it, when we want a tasty dessert, eating gluten-free, shall we say, can be challenging to put it mildly. Unless you are eating at a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, dedicated bakery, or a gluten-free friendly establishment, your choices of gluten-free desserts can be limited to none.
When we are eating in a category other than desserts, our food choices are much more diverse and far-reaching. With so many food choices, eating gluten-free can be fun and push us out of our box to explore and create new dishes and desserts. Being gluten-free can even make us an advocate for gluten-free that tastes good! When you’re out and about, whether shopping or dining, keep this list handy! Although extensive, this is not a complete list of all gluten-containing foods. Your best defense is to be an informed, excellent label reader and check out the label before you buy every time you shop. Don’t ever assume that a jar of nuts or trail mix doesn’t have gluten because it says gluten-free on the box. Make sure to read through all the ingredients, then look to see if there is a warning for cross-contamination. How to Travel with Disabilities Such as Celiac Disease or Another Auto-Immune Condition
If you have a loved one, friend, or relative that you enjoy spending time with but they don't quite understand the challenges of traveling gluten-free, forward them this article. I decided to write this blog post to give insight to those who don't live with a chronic illness to better understand what life is like when you live with an auto-immune disease or another chronic disease, syndrome, or disability.
Did you know that having an auto-immune disease such as Celiac, Hashimoto’s or Rheumatoid Arthritis equates to having a disability? Many people usually picture a person in a wheelchair or someone who has lost their vision, however; disabilities don’t always show up on the outside! Traveling with a disability can be difficult and needs more preparation and consideration when creating travel plans. There are many details to consider before you go on your trip to have a great travel experience. Here is what you want to think when traveling with disabilities. |
