I agree that travel is a definite wild card when it comes to managing weight. Earlier this year we went to Aruba for a week and I had a definite plan...very light breakfasts and lunches and then whatever I wanted for dinner, within reason. I was pretty active and hit the gym at the resort every afternoon. But I gained more than I expected during the week. Later we spent 10 days in France - I did not really follow a plan (croissants for breakfast every morning - yikes!) but didn't snack at all. Dinners were delicious but portions smaller than at restaurants here. No exercise other than walking everywhere. And I was very pleased to maintain the same weight during that trip!
So I don't really have any advice other than that your plan sounds good. I think that local food is definitely a part of the culture to experience while traveling - gelato, "street food", special dinners - and it would be unfortunate to miss out on it. So yes, have gelato every other day, but maybe only one scoop. Moderation is key!
