Please direct me to the best possible route, like the major towns and cities that i would be passing through. You may start directions from Lucena. All help would be much appreciated as I am at a loss right now. Cannot back out because accomodations have been fully paid in advance. Thanks in advance.
landlord,

just follow the buses going to bicol, di ka maliligaw.

but actually you have two options:

first option - pag lagpas mo ng boundary ng Quezon and Camarines Norte, (yung may arko na "welcome to bicolandia") a few kilometers ahead you will come to a junction on your right side. That's the andaya-quirino hiway I think.

you can take that route and it will take you thru Tagkawayan, just follow that hiway and sa pinaka dulo nun you will turn right and you're on your way to Naga, you won't miss it.

second option - once you reach that junction I mentioned above, instead of turning right to that junction, diretso ka lang, just follow the hiway. On this second option it will take you thru the towns of Sta. Elena, Talisay, Labo, Daet, Basud etc. etc. (all towns of Camarines Norte, not necessarily in that order)

I think if you take the 2nd option, the last town of Camarines Norte that you will pass thru is Basud and after that nasa Camarines Sur ka na Sipocot yata yung kasunod.

Don't worry hindi ka mawawala dyan, puro hiway lang yan.

I don't know the condition of the Tagkawayan (andaya-quirino) hiway, but the last time I went thru there it wasn't car friendly as far as road condition is concerned, but if you're bringing an SUV pwede na.

The 2nd option is car friendly as far as road condition is concerned, patag yan all the way to Naga, unless may nasira lately.

Happy trip
