Well our trip to Canada was successful and our daughter was protected thanks to my family's help. My mom found lots of peanut-free food items and we took mac and cheese when we went out to a restaurant to eat since they could not guarantee that it was peanut-free. We flew on Northwest which does not serve peanuts but their snacks might have peanut in them. We packed plenty of snacks for the kids and had a good trip.
Next we plan our trip to Disney World. They have a great web site that covers food allergies and have staff on hand for questions. I will be posting soon about preparations for dining at Disney as well as packing snacks.
Here's the link for Disney travel tips for food allergies.
