The Hana Highway on the island of Maui, is full of twists, turns and beautiful scenery. But one of our favorite highlights was stopping for delicious, fresh smoothies and homemade banana bread along the way at the Huelo Lookout Fruit Stand.

Awesome Travel Games: Imagine I Can games by Manhattan Toys
![]() |
Image source: www.manhattantoys.com |
Manhattan Toys have created a clever and cute series of games and toys for ages 3 and up which pack away in their own tins. My favorites are the most compact games, priced at about $6 each depending on the retailer. Just slightly larger than a deck of cards, these games are perfect for traveling!
B and I have been enjoying the Catch a Pirate game and instructions are provided for standard play and modified play for beginning players.
With little pieces, these games aren't particularly well-suited for play in the car or on an airplane (I wouldn’t want to crawl under my airplane seat each time a piece is dropped!) but they are just the right size for packing in your carry-on for keeping busy at the airport, on a cruise ship or in a hotel room.

Fun Food Friday: Spam Nuts
As a kid, I can remember my Mom cutting up Spam into thin slices and pan-frying it with brown sugar for breakfast, but it's something I haven't eaten in decades. Visiting Hawaii, it is interesting to see how Spam has become part of the cuisine, with everything from Spam musabi to Spam fried rice appearing on menus. These Spam-flavored macadamia nuts seemed like the perfect Hawaiian souvenir!
