>> 6) I stayed twice last year on Kauai. I found the only source for gf is a
>> health food store in the middle of the island in a shopping center. It is
>> the only shopping center and everybody knows about it and can direct you
>> to it. Unfortunately I forgot the name of that store. It is the only one
>> on the island. They do have a very limited choice of gf food. I brought my
>> own food and was glad that I did. The restaurants are so-so in
>> accommodating a gf meal, I usually ended up at McDonalds or for sushi, or
>> the good old stand-by, steak and potatoes and fish. I must mention that I
>> am also dairy intolerant and allergic to eggs. That makes it a bit more
>> difficult to eat out, however I have seldom a problem here on the
>> continent, but the Hawaiians can be bit testy if one asks too much in
>> their opinion. I staid at the Marriott Resort and called ahead, the chef
>> there had gf food ready for me, but the bread was spelt bread, and he also
>> had a selection of cheese for me, which I could not eat either. You see,
>> they try but the knowledge is limited.
>>
>> 7) I don't have any info about eating GF (sorry!) but just tore out an
>> article about travel to Kauai - one thing that looks totally cool is The
>> Kipu Falls Zipline Safari, available thru Outfitters Kauai 808-742-9667.
>> It combines kayaking, hiking and ziplining amongst jungle streams,
>> waterfalls, swimming holes and suspension bridges. I don't have any
>> interest in the company, but the photos and article sounded really
>> awesome.
>>
>> 8) You will love Kauai! My husband and I just spent part of our honeymoon
>> there in October. I did not know I was gluten intolerant when I was
>> there, but as I remember, the Hawaiian diet in general is very gluten-free
>> friendly. Lots of fruit and vegetables and fish. The
>> starch staples are generally rice and potato salad or macaroni
>> salad(unfortunately not gf!) They also have these cool baked sweet
>> potatoes that are purple! They have farmers markets at various places
>> around the island each week. We stopped at a few and got wonderful
>> produce at a very reasonable price. The concierge at your hotel should be
>> able to give you a list of the weekly locations.
>> We did a kayak/hike to a waterfall that was fantastic, also a helicopter
>> tour.
>>
>> 9) Ooh, I'm so jealous! I went to Kauai on my honeymoon (almost 17 years
>> ago) and I never wanted to leave! It's SO beautiful there; every time you
>> think you've seen the most gorgeous view, there's another one around the
>> bend. I can't help you out with gf restaurant suggestions, but one of the
>> most wonderful ( and unforgettable- even 16+ years later) days we had was
>> on the Captain Zodiac raft ride along the Ne Pali coast. I recommend it
>> highly! They were able to take us into some sea caves. There were giant
>> sea turtles swimming next to our raft, amazing views and beatiful
>> waterfalls. I googled it and it's still there, so here's a link. Click
>> here: Kauai snorkeling and Kauai rafting: Captain Zodiac Kauai Other than
>> that, we rented a convertible for our stay and just drove all over the
>> place with the top down (use lots of sunscreen - the sun is really strong
>> there). Have a great time!
>>
>> 10) Congratulations and best wishes! I hope you enjoy your honeymoon in
>> Kaui as much as my husband and i did 1.5yrs ago! We hiked the Napali
>> trail (take teva's & lunch in your backpack and wear good boots!)We
>> snorkled on the beach outside our condo (Hanalei Colony Resort)and enjoyed
>> everything around the area! The mtns in the Wayamea (?spelling) were
>> beautiful - lots
>> of showers and rainbows in May! There are gardens not far from the Napali
>> trailhead - we enjoyed the tour - well worth the time - the history of
>> the island and folklore was entertaining! The flowers were beautiful -
>> Bird of Paradise grow there like we grow roses here in North Carolina!
>> Postcards was one of our favorite restaurants. ...And we enjoyed smoothies
>> at Banana Joes - fresh fruit frozen and whipped into smoothie consistency!
>> They are rather 'granola' and make most everything from scratch (including
>> their soy sauce - it was gf when i went!!). There's a great grocery in
>> the Princeville resort shopping center (right outside of Hanalei)if you
>> need it; there's also a small healthfood store/restaurant, but i wasn't as
>> impressed with their selection of gf items at the time i was there. There
>> are lots of places for fresh seafood, so you'll be fine! Take good
>> sunscreen and a hat and enjoy your trip! I'm very excited for you - Kaui
>> was the perfect honeymoon spot!!
