buy a plane ticket to ilocos and then rent a van or car with driver to get you to pagudpud.

8-1/2 hours drive. start early to avoid the traffic, like 3am or earlier.
nlex-sctex-turn right at sctex exit and follow the magilas trail to pozorubio, then rejoin macarthur hiway there. Or kung di mo alam ang magilas trail, then turn left to tarlac city and just follow the signs to join macarthur hiway to baguio. diretsuhin mo lang to la union - ilocos sur - ilocos norte. pag dating mo sa dulo ayun na pagudpod na.
when we made the trip we started out from QC at 3:30 am, got to Candon Ilocos Sur at 8am where we had breakfast (1 hour stop), then we reached blue lagoon in pagudpud at exactly 1 pm. so if you minus the 1 hour stop it will be 8-1/2 hours of driving.

kung galing ka ng manila, wala ka iba pinakamadaling daanan kung hindi via nlex-sctex-tarlac-pangasinan-la union-ilocos sur-then ilocos norte na...it's a long drive, probably 9-10 hrs...
tips? ensure your ride is in tip top shape, some call it pagod-pud as it is a long and and tiring drive, so tag along a talkative passenger
check google maps so you can have an idea of all the cities and towns you will pass by from tarlac to ilocos norte....

better buy a philippine map from national book store if you do not know the way. or get a gps. di naman nakakaligaw, diretso lang naman ang daan walang liko EXCEPT FOR 1 CITY IN ILOCOS, forgot which one. muntik na ko maticketan ng pulis kasi pinasok ko one way e wala naman karatula. forgot which one it was. natatandaan ko lang may old church and dapat mag-left turn before the church.

Tips?
Hanggan Vigan pa lang ang aking na drive. Started at 3am from Cavite. 2pm kami ni wifey dumating sa Vigan. Nag breakfast kami sa Jollibee Agoo. Nag MacDo kami sa Vigan then nag photo session sa Heritage plaza. Bumili ng langonisa at bibingka. Then bumalik sa La Union.
1. Siguro kelangan wag lang iisang van ang dala. At least may back-up na sasakyan. Medyo malalayo ang mga towns, pag nasiraan sa daan baka mahirap makakuha agad ng rescue.
2. Mag research na rin siguro kung ano mga resorts, hotels, or resto na mga madadaanan. Side trip na rin kayo sa Baguio at Bolinao para sulit ang lakad.
3. Siguro kelangan at least 3 nights 4 days na trip para hindi masyado pagod.

it took me 14hrs.... manila to pagudpod every 4hrs. ang stop over, with konting picture picture... nasa 30-45mins...
you should pullover every 3-4hrs... na try ko na dati 10hrs. straight no stop overs... manila to sorsogon, pag dating namin at pag upo para ka pa din tumatakbo may intervals na nag shake ang katawan namin kahit at rest at nakaupo ka na.....
madali lang pumunta dun... sundan mo lang ang bus... he.he...
may portion lang na hindi pa din tapos ang daanan... kaya wag ka masyado matulin.... ilan beses na ako nalaglag sa ginagawang kalsada....
dun.... medyo matulin kasi ako minsan mag drive.... then ingat ka sa mga stop over nyo over lunch, dinner or merienda at pag nag park ka sa harap ng isang tindahan at hindi ka naman dun kakain asahan mo FLAT Ang abutin mo.... wag ka din gigilid sa area ng may mga vulcanizing shop asahan mo madaming pako dun!!!! kung gabi ka aalis or aabutin ka ng gabi much better to bring kahit foot pump lang... kaya ng foot pump ang tire size like 245 70 r16 papawisan ka nga lang.....

Agree,- dala ka nag foot pump. Dala ka rin ng flashlight, just in case.
Salubungan lang ang mga kalye. Kaya dapat alerto ka all of the time.
When driving at midnight/early morning,- make sure that you have a wide-awake co-pilot who you can talk with. Or, you have your stereo with mp3s that you can sing/dance along to keep you awake...
When approaching oncoming vehicles,- give them a couple of headlight flashes (and they should acknowledge), just to check if they are "awake" too... Use low beam only. High beam if and only if you're the only one on the road.
Plan your stops... So that you can stretch.. Pero, I suggest that they should be during daylight only...
The road leading to Pagudpud is one fun drive...
18.3K:tomato:
but these people have cars so I assume hindi blue collar workers. Pwede naman mag file ng leave :)...
Traffic!
