While I prefer not seeing a kitchen I sometimes have to. Our S has a severe peanut allergy so he need to be very careful what he eats. I’ve handled this by taking one of two paths for our destinations. Path 1 is to rent a house and do most of our own cooking. We have rented very nice homes in Australia, Belize, Maui, and Costa Rica to name a few. Path 2 is stay at high end hotels where I can work with the culinary team to make sure the food is safe. We have found that Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, and the Fairmont are very helpful. The culinary team at the Ritz in Grand Cayman actually made a complete menu for S listing everything that they had ready for him. The chef at the Fairmont Mayacoba personally made “expedition Meals” for our S to take as we took day trips (5 courses including a ceviche of the day, salad, various sandwiches, fresh fruite, and a dessert).
We always take active vacations. Scuba diving, snorkeling, rappelling, hiking are all on tap.
