Late Post : Lost. Love. Laoag.

Everyone was happy when Malacanang announced the long weekend schedule (no work for Aug 20 and 21) and I was really relieved since we have been planning to go up Laoag a year ago and we made it happen! Despite our 2 friends backing out for this trip, hubby and myself were able to get bus tickets for Friday night. We took the last 2 seats available for super deluxe bus of Florida Bus Lines, whew, that was a close call! We left at around 9:30PM and were expected to arrive in Laoag 5AM.







My girlfriend Loisky was very helpful during our stay in Laoag! She asked Grandpa's Inn at Vigan to allow us to stay for a few hours until the sun has risen and while waiting, we toured around Vigan as well. What happened in Day 1 : Grandpa's Inn x Calle Crisologo x Plaza Burgos x Cafe Leona



my outfit: Top = Le Vie Collection; Pants and Earrings = Forever21; Shoes = Aldo; Necklace = The Fashion Outlet; Yellow Bracelet and Star Ring = Bedazzle Accessories; White Leather Bracelet = LSN Fashion; Watch = Swatch; Bag = thrifted



We took an ordinary bus to go to Laoag which was almost a 3-hour trip to meet up with Jay and Loisky. The lovely couple picked us up at the YMCA terminal and went to their place first to say hi to the cutest baby in Laoag, Angelo =) After, we went to Fort Ilocandia where we had our reservations. We just stayed in the hotel that afternoon because we wanted to get some rest.

 Sleeper Bus by Florida, cooooooool!!!!!!!! It was kinda bumper to bumper along the aisles but it was fine overall!



 Time to go back to Manila huhuhu our departure time was at 10:15 PM and we arrived around 6AM in EDSA. The experience was very relaxing and very memorable, thank you soooo much to Jay and Loisky and the whole family (including cutie baby Angelo =). 'Til our next adventure!!!
