What’s the best thing about this trip? Spending Christmas Eve sleeping while driving TPLEX!
 |
| Sleepy face Merry Christmas! |
So, weeks
before Christmas we know we will be spending it somewhere. This is the first
Christmas in years that my Dad will be spending home so why spend it at home?
It's been our tradition for the last 3 years to spend it in Pansol but we are
skipping it. So again, with no concrete plan, with no reservations we will be
spending it North!
I'm so
thankful that my work is good this year and I get to spend Christmas Eve with my family. Night shifts have
its pros and cons and one of the cons is Christmas Eve at work.
After my
8am shift we headed home to pack.
First
Stop: Porac, Pampanga
We were
invited by my Brother’s in laws to spend Christmas there. We got there by 3pm,
traffic is not that bad but we had a few delays. I was so sleepy but I couldn’t
sleep. I slept a little when we were there, we had a little party, karaoke,
foods, drinks then raffle games. We left at 10pm and headed to Dasol.

We got to
Dasol by 2am and checked R Paradise, by brother didn’t like it there so we move
to Villa Balinmanok. We didn’t like it both so we left and drove to Bolinao.

It was the most satisfying sleep I had for days and while
they were swimming I was resting. It was fine I mean vacations are supposed to
be relaxing aye? Since its Christmas the staff at the resort are on leave so we had to buy and prepare our own food.
Fourth
Stop Day 3 Bolinao Falls
