West Maui Pt.3 Best Banana Bread on the Planet

By in 05: US Other, Travel

According to guidebook there’s this woman named Julia who makes the Best Banana Bread on Planet, at a remote tiny village up on the mountain. The state highway ends midway and soon the mountain road became one-lane only. I really don’t know what would happened if two giant Jeep faces each other. ^^;; It was […]

Moana Bakery and Cafe (Maui: Pa’ia)

By in 05: US Other, Travel

The 3rd day we’re heading back outside, enduring the prone-to-car sickness Hana Highway again. Turns out it was the big marathon event where all these contestents kept running toward our traffic (followed by their cheerleading friends on their van with camera on opposite traffic). Narrow one lane road, crazy blind spot turns, and now people […]
