kaya nag mazda 323 yan kahit 1.3 kung top condition: bagong tune-up, newly changed oil at fully
checked ang brakes and fluids. doble ingat lang since me bata kayo kasama.
okey nga i-off ang a/c while going up. ramdam mo pagbaba ng klima. marcos hi-way para di matarik masyado compared sa kennon.
happy driving.

Grabe nga ang traffic sa Urdaneta, you could take a detour from Carmen thru Rosales and follow the road signs to Binalonan, road conditions there are very good.

Just went to Baguio last December before mag Xmas and also it was my first time. Dala ko Gen7 na Galant V6, so no questions asked kung makakaakyat. I'm with a couple and my gf. Traffic nga sa Urdaneta since yung daan sa town proper eh ginagawa. Di naman namin alam kung san ang alternative routes, basta kami just followed the road thru signs. You don need to turn on the a/c kung nasa Marcos Highway na kasi mas maappreciate mo yung daan and the environment. Parang gusto ko magdrift lalo na nung pababa. Mt Akina. hehehe

we had Prime Hotel nga pala for 2 days since ang gusto talaga namin eh sa town proper ksi gusto ni gf mag ukay-ukay, P1600 per night, ok din yung rooms. Una namin tinignan yung Citylite Hotel kaso fully booked na. Astig experience ko sa Baguio, badtrip nga lang yung daan dun, daming steep ascending and descending, kawawa ang gas tsaka brakes. Daming tao parang Divisoria na may aircon yung dulo nang Session Road hanggang palengke

hindi na traffic pag madaling araw. pero kung aalis ka dito ng madaling araw, i-timing mo na darating ka ng Urdaneta before 7 am. pag inabutan ka ng 7-8 am traffic na. s

nung dec 23 exactly 7:30 am dumating kami ng Urdaneta going to Baguio, ma-traffic na. pabalik naman umalis kami ng 8 pm ng dec 25 sa baguio. 4 1/2 hours lang biyahe hanggang dito sa amin sa QC.

I don't know if this will be to your advantage pero kahit paano mababawasan yung pagkatraffic mo sa Urdaneta.

Bago ka makarating sa urdaneta town proper, may daan paliko ng kaliwa na pupunta ng Santa Barbara at Mapandan. Lalabas ng San Jacinto at Manaoag then Pozorobio, Sison and finally Rosario Junction. We tried this last week (though hanggang San Jacinto lang kami). Hindi ka naman mawawala kasi may mga road guides. Just try to ask some kind folks kung saan yung papunta Sta Barbara pag nasa Urdaneta ka na...

Prime Hotel is along Session road. Ganda ng view ng central business district pero ingat lang sa pollution.
