kayang kaya yan. alis ka laguna early morning para iwas traffic sa metro. kung aalis ka ng 4am sa laguna by 6-7am nasa nlex ka na. breakfast kayo sa nlex. by 12 noon nasa la union na kayo. 2-3pm nasa vigan na without breaking any speed limits. kung bibilisan mo mag drive just remember nlex-sctex an tplex don't exceed 120kph as that is the true upper limit, any faster and you will surely get a speeding ticket. 115kph max ka lang para sure na walang ticket. if you want to arrive earlier then leave earlier para iwas sa traffic sa mac arthur after exiting tplex. traffic kasi yan from pozorubio all the way to san fernando, la union, gapang ka dun ng 40-50 kph lang ang takbo.

Kung aalis kayo ng Manila bago mag 8am, hindi kayo aabutan ng gabi sa daan. Sa Vigan na kayo matulog.

Use agoda.com for accommodation.

If you see Jollibee, maraming magkakatabi na lodging places.

Just properly inflate the tires. Maganda naman ang daan.

Here at Vigan area at the moment. Dami namamasyal, and it looks like punuan mga accommodations, dami nakapark na sasakyan sa mga hotels. Ingat sa pag-drive and wag overtake sa curves, dami 3cycle and naka-motor. Travel early morning, para may tine kayo maghanap ng accommodation sa Vigan

Best to do your travel during a regular weekday over a holiday week or weekend, if your schedules permit.

I went to Ilocos a couple of months ago:
Left Pampanga at 630AM, arrived in Vigan around 12nn.
Left Vigan at around 3PM and arrived in Laoag around 630PM (with a stopover to drive around Badoc Town inbetween).

My officemate did the same trip on the weekend right after I went and i could see on their pictures how crowded it was as compared to my weekday trip where there was hardly any people.

Between La Union, Vigan and Laoag, the road can really get congested already and you cannot do brisk speeds as compared to several years ago especially if you travel during a peak hour (i.e. friday afternoon). I could only drive at a brisk and uninterrupted pace when i was going around between Laoag, Pagudpod, and Cagayan Valley.

Vigan is a stopover for me (lunch + some sightseeing) and we head on prefer to stay in Ilocos Norte (Laoag).

Maraming sasakyan talaga during the holidays kaya medyo traffic kahit dito sa La Union. Dagdagan ng ibayong pag-iingat sa pag dri-drive, kasi medyo madaming aksidente ng bus just few days back involving themselves.
Sa mga tsikoteers na di nagmamadali papuntang/pauwi galing Vigan ... pwede kayong dumaan dito sa amin for a short toilet breaks. Pwedeng may palibreng cappuccino pero kailangan ng at least 30 mins wait para sa espresso machine warm-up. Feel free to drop-by, just pm me for the exact location and contact number. Along the hi-way lang ako dito sa Bauang, La Union.

Wow just read this. I came from Bangued then nag Vigan kami, by 12:30PM umalis kami ng Vigan to head back to Manila. And wow, napaka Traffic sa La Union, almost half of dadaanan namin ay traffic. Fiesta, aksidente etc. Now we're here in NLEX heading to Balintawak sobrang traffic pa din 😞😞

the offer still stand sir till your next vigan trip.
continue driving safely!

[miked]

nagpunta kami tarlac last weekend (pasko).....

parang nasa lima lang ata yung nakasabayan ko na southbound sa tplex tapos yung northbound e halos tren na sa dami.

halos natapos naman na yung mga road constructions dito sa norte. yun nga lang meron pa rin hindi nalalagyan ng asphalt overlay kaya magaspang pa rin sa inyong ride comfort. ingatan nyo lang yung nagcave in na daan sa may sinait, ilocos sur bago boundary. lintik na reflectors hindi maaninag sa gabi unless nakatapat ka na mismo. muntikan ko na binowling nun.

Hi guys. We are planning to go to Ilocos Norte -> Ilocos Sur next month for Holy Week vacation. Kamusta traffic at volue ng tao sa mga usual pasyalan dun pag Holy Week? Also, will be using our Mobilio pagluwas. Current odo reading is 3200+ kms. Should I pay our casa a visit prior to our trip o kahit kami na lang magcheck ng car bago bumyahe? Thanks!
