Our summer vacation started the moment school ended for our second grader. We lifted off out of Santa Barbara’s June gloom into the sunny skies towards Hawai’i and off to Kaua’i “The Garden Isle” we went in search of sun, adventure, and of course gluten-free dishes! Having celiac I knew this adventure would entail a little research and what I found was Kaua’i is a very gluten-free educated island. It was refreshing to not have to explain what my gluten allergy meant. Every restaurant we went to knew the dietary restrictions of celiacs and the importance of my gluten free request and quickly offered gluten free options. Bravo Kaua’i for being inclusive to us celiacs!

This Pad Thai dish from Monster Thai in Lihue, Kauai was hands down one of the top Thai dishes I have ever eaten. It did not disappoint.
