Gluten Free vacation in the Dominican Republic

I went on vacation. To the Dominican Republic. I was NEVER sick! I felt great. The people there were more than accomodating. I ate amazing food. I talked to the guest relations people and they helped me pick my restaurants. One day we got a note that said for me to go to the front desk. I had to meet the head chef cause he wanted to talk to me but we needed a translator to be there. Every restaurant I went to, I handed the waiter/waitress my gluten free card (I'll explain). It was funnt to see their faces as they read what I was handing them. Then they would go to another eprson and show them, then the manager.. haha It happened like this every night. It was kinda neat, I felt special. They really wanted to help. Unlike here.. where everyone seems to be put off or maybe they have to work a little harder. ugh. lets not go there.

So I bought this card that explains I can't eat gluten in spanish. Here is the info.

Soy alérgico al trigo, al centeno, a la cebada, a la avena, a la salsa de soja y a la
malta.

It says that I am allergic to wheat, rye barley and oats. Then it adds soy sauce and malt. I think thats there because people dont realize they have wheat or gluten in them too.

This thing was my life saver. Seriously. I thought I lost it once and almost cried. It was bad. Of course, I practically had the thing memorized. haha

OK OK, so where did I go? Iberstar Bavaro, in Punta Cana. Also the Iberostar dominicana and punta cana. You can barely tell the difference between the restaurants. My only suggestion is this!! If you drink, plan a few different ways to drink rum and vodka. I was limited enough, and running out of ideas was terrible. And I used to be a bartender!

Ok. time for bed for real this time!
