    Less crowds, less traffic, more parking and more places open for the big family meal afterwards.

    Please avoid MacArthur highway from San Fernando, Pampanga exit all the way to Dau as well, there are multiple cemeteries along the way and traffic has been rerouted in some places.

    Good luck and drive safe Tsikoteers.
    i don't know about yours,
    but our dear departed ones are Saints.
    heh heh.

    I wish I could say the same Doc. But in all honesty, I doubt it.

    In any case, we would rather honor the tradition my great grandfather instilled in us, that is to go Nov. 2.

    Besides, Saturday is ideal this year with Sunday being the perfect rest day before the rat race restarts again next week.

    Realistic faith Doc, and the honesty to admit that not all of us will make it to the other side where we would want to end up.

    Similarly, it's somewhat like traffic, we all want to go somewhere or end up somewhere we'd like to be, but some of us don't.

    On a side note, I wonder if going to Manila tomorrow, Nov. 1 would be a good idea? Northbound going to Bulacan, Pampanga, etc. will be clogged for sure. How about Southbound kaya? hehe.

    Dito lang kami sa metro manila this long weekend. Maluwag siguro traffic kaya medyo tipid sa gas.

    Sana matapos na yung SLEX-NLEX connection para iwasan ko na yang EDSA kapag papunta kami Pampanga. Less hassle na rin for people from the north to go south.

    We don't usually go to the cemetery on Nov 1. Weekly naman namin dinadalaw ang mga yumao naming mahal sa buhay. Sabi ko nga, ang Nov 1 and 2 eh para sa mga hindi laging dumadalaw. Pero para sa karamihan, bukod sa pagdalaw, time na rin ito para mag-gather at mag-catch up ang mga magkaka-pamilya.

    Kami, sa beach kami nagpupunta. Maluwag ang mga resort dahil andun sila sa sementeryo nagkukumplan.
