Summer na naman! We arranged our next destination, this time Ilocos. And so the plan was materialized. We had our bookings to 3Kings Travel and Tours through Ensogo. Got it for less than 4,000 per person for 4D/3N. Frankly, I disposed my trackings or notes for I did not enjoy my trip. At the onset, we already encountered bad luck, for the bus was very late - an hour mind you. We thought we were going to ride a van but that was forgivable considering the numbers of people who availed the promo. At dahil first come first serve, we ended up in a bus instead of van dahil hindi kasi ganun ka early sa meet up point. Meet up point was at the gasoline station in quezon city along EDSA. We boarded at around 11 to 11:30 pm. Not all of the sites in the itinerary was followed, we weren't able to go to some for we had constraints time. We went to Vigan, Bangui Wind Mill, Pagudpud (Hannah's/Lagoon), Paoay church, Malacanang of the North, Baluarte, Sand Dunes- this was what I enjoyed the most although bitin kasi hapon na kami nakarating tapos naka pag sand boarding kami ng gabi na :(. Ang init ng buhangin hahaha. nagka pantal pantal ako huhu. The next day sa Bangui naman kami, kumain lang dun ng mga 1-2 hours di man lang naka lusong sa dagat or nakapag picture taking sa mga wind mills, then head off to Pagudpud na. In Pagudpud, nagkapantal na naman ako marahil dahil pa rin sa init ng sand dunes after effect hehe. Hindi ko masyadong nagustuhan ang ganda ng tubig sa Lagoon (dati nyang pangalan, now Hannah's.) Hindi kasing ganda at linaw dagat sa Boracay at hindi kasing pino ang buhangin. Pero nag enjoy pa rin naman ako dahil sa mini waves :). Masaya pa rin naman. Kung tatanungin ako kung babalikan ko pa ang Ilocos maybe but it would be in my last list. Sobrang traumatic kasi ang experience sa organizer di kasi organized yung trip. Mukhang hindi nila napaghandaan ng mabuti, pero thank you pa rin sa kanila kasi naging possible yung trip sa marami sa amin, they have given us cheap tour during Holy week and bumawi naman sila sa Hotel namin dahil nung una nagkagulo kami sa accomodations and so on. The owner did express an apology to all and hoping na hindi madala ang mga nag avail ng vouchers, 3Kings is forgivable. Pero if you plan to go there, it should be done with friends and in a van!
