Great food by the way. The one we used to go to in Kapaa closed since we were here last. We last came to Kauai about 2 years or more ago with friends. So, we were very happy to find a good new one here as well. Also, if you come to Kauai as a tourist after you rent your rental car at Lihue you want to go to Costco to buy food if you have a kitchen where you are staying which can save a lot of money in having to go out to eat. However, this is by personal preference what you will choose too. Also, it can rain a lot on Kauai this time of year because November begins the Rainy Season and remember the na Pali area can get 500 to 1000 inches of rain (more than any other location on earth) per year too. So, if you drive up there from the North Western Side of the Island remember to take rain gear because it usually rains a little every day up there towards the top of this area by car.

Kauai
Yesterday we went to SFO in San Francisco Area and took a plane to Kauai. We usually try to go around this time of year. The worst times to go likely if you want to go to anywhere in Hawaii would be Summer and March and April because of Spring Break and kids from College because all the islands are overrun then and it's harder to get rooms and to rent cars then. So, we usually choose to travel longer distances to Europe or to Hawaii in October when kids are mostly in school whether that be college or other schools. This is a nice time to travel.
There are parts of Kauai where it gets over 600 inches of rain a year where you can go if you wish and those places are mostly rain forests of one kind or another. There is also the Napili Coast which can now these days most easily be reached by Catamarans or Zodiac kinds of boats
Here is the Temperature range in Lihue where your plane would land right now:
