Off to Vigan this Holiday

**CVT** · December 18th, 2007 11:46 PM

If I were you, I'd drive straight to Vigan..... Stop for breaks na lang sa mga gasoline stations along the way....

I drove straight from South MM, where we live, to Laoag, stopping only for gas, call of nature, snacks and stretch last July.... Road was generally okay then, except for Candon(?), where they're doing road repair..... Sana okay na ito

thanks.

i don't think an overnight is necessary. just leave the earliest possible time you can and just take breaks as needed.

tarlac rest stops
urdaneta: you can take a break at mikey177's la pia taza cafe
rosario, la union (caltex/shell/petron within spitting distance of each other)
san fernando rest stops

btw, i opine that too many breaks just make your trip longer and makes you tire earlier.

two years ago ... we went this route .
overnight in baguio ... break at Vigan ... and onto pagudpud.

we left baguio around 9 am ... had lunch in Vigan past 1 pm ... and arrived in Pagudpud just before sun-down.

may try the direct to Vigan route next time ... as it has been suggested here.

I'd say, about 4 hours, though I've never taken/drove this route...

right on. it's 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on the driver's speed / road conditions / time of day.

Sarap nyan. Diretso na sa pagudpud. It's only 150+ km from vigan.

dont forget the empanada, longganisa and bagnet.
