The Road Trip to La Union
Then Dada mentioned that La Union is also a good place to visit and just a 3-hour drive from Mabalacat, Pampanga. It was already Friday night, and when I tried to call some of the hotel and resort in the area, all standard accommodations are taken for the weekend.
But since we are set on a weekend getaway...so off we go without a room to stay and without planned itinerary.
We left Mabalacat City by car on a Saturday at around 10:00am with our ever reliable car, Froggie. Our first stop is Bauang because it is not as busy as San Juan and the possibility of getting in accommodation is favorable.
