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 […]

West Maui: Ka’anapali

Narrow one lane road, crazy blind spot turns, and now people […]

Hana Pt.4: Hana Bay, Hamoa Beach

By in 05: US Other, Travel

Hana Bay, a so-so beach with a dark reddish sand but walking distance from our condo. Most importantly, it has the only decent (and affordable) lunch spot in Hana: Tutu’s Snack Shop! Taro Burger is pretty good~ Though after all the hiking and swimming I wished I had a meat patty but I didn’t want […]
