banana pancakes= happy memories


The morning just got better as Jason and I cooked up breakfast for our fellow campers- I brought everything we'd need to serve up a stack of the traditional camp out banana pancakes. We also had breakfast sausage links, hawaiian style portuguese sausage, and coffee- not a bad way to start your day, if waking up on a quiet stretch of beach along the west coast of Maui wasn't enough!

Getting ready to cook up breakfast for the crew-


-and MacGyver-ing our coffee!


Having our camp stove kitchen inside the back hatch of an old caravan may not seem glamorous, but the output was excellent. The traditional banana pancakes were in fine form.


From there the day took off - there was swimming, exploring, hunting opihi (little sea snails that are clamped down on rocks like barnacles) to fry up for a snack, breaking camp, driving to nearby Honolua bay to snorkel (it was a perfect day for it), losing the front grill of the van (which we retrieved), and finally driving back to the north shore with laughter, twizzlers, and a whole lot of freshly made memories.
