The Travel thread

[Daniel]

I recently went on a Baguio-Vigan-Pagudpud trip. My dad and mom are from Ilocos Norte so it was nice to see some of my relatives again. But the real highlight of the trip was the bagnet and the Ilocos empanada. Namiss ko eh!

Saan ang ruta pag papuntang Viga-Pagudpud? Meron na raw TPLEX di ba? Paano nung wala pa?

[sups]

nung wala pang TPLEX via SCTEX siya..tarlac ang labas then diretso ka na ng La Union then pa ilocos na yun(sorry hindi gaano specific)..ang sarap ng may TPLEX, yung barkada ko nag travel from bataan to baguio in 2.5 hrs lang..hataw..hehe

[Daniel]

oks lang yan hehe (tungkol sa hindi gaano specific)

yung byahe mula sctex, via mcarthur highway ba yun? yun lang nakita kong kalsada gamit ang google maps e.

[sups]

hindi ko alam yung mcarthur hi-way pero from manila, enter NLEX then may link ang NLEX to SCTEX then SCTEX to TPLEX..

[adams_song182]

Tama yan. McArthur highway ang daan pagka-exit ng TPLEX.

Traveling and vacationing are two completely different things. I think the difference lies in what you're looking for.

I used to vacation. When I went on vacation, I was looking for a few days on the beach, mojito or coconut cocktail in-hand. Relaxing. Spa days. I booked all-inclusive trips on Expedia or Priceline, complete with hotel, flight and excursions because it was easier than spending hours researching and reading through reviews. I usually chose an island, somewhere with awesome weather, and didn't feel the need to go explore the city because I was staying at an awesome resort. A vacation is very much a getaway, but I noticed that when I was on vacation, I didn't really get away. I didn't choose the hole in the wall local restaurant; I chose the westernized, watered down version because that restaurant had an English menu and custom cocktails. I booked round trip tickets and all my days were scheduled. I always went with someone. If there was an outlet mall within a 10-mile radius I was there.

When I booked my ticket to travel for the very first time, I was looking for peace, closure and adventure. I was looking to be smacked in the face with the magnitude of the world. So I didn't make as many plans. My days weren't fully scheduled. I walked around aimlessly without wifi for hours. My wardrobe was limited to a few changes of clothes, I did my laundry in the sink, and only brought comfortable shoes with me. I journeyed alone for the first time, and opened myself up to meeting new people in random pubs and restaurants. I slept on a now-friend but then-stranger's couch for a night in London using Couchsurfing for the very first time. I started booking one-way tickets. I almost got gassed at an international protest, got cursed out by 60-year-old prostitutes after almost getting robbed in the middle of the day in Paris. I sweat out my hair, shirt and shorts dragging a life-size cutout of my dad and a 40 lb. backpack up the steps of a train station in Florence. I wasn't on a beach with a coconut cocktail, but jumping across glacier chunks, wrapping my only scarf around my face to lessen the pain of massive hail in Iceland instead. - Jinna Yang

Tara! Saan?

[imban]

a friend does a lot of the "travelling" thing.. he has unlimited VLs, backpacks, meets people on the way, knows how to wait for website glitches (he went to Maldives for 2k pesos because of an Air Asia glitch), blogs his travels, etc etc

ayaw ko sumama sa kanya kasi gusto ko yung "vacationing" part

[kurtsky]

Gusto ko talaga makabalik ng europe nakakamiss duon kasi kahit wala masyado gimikan scenery trip lang.
Kaso napakamahal ng airfare ngayon at ang hotel accomodation. Siguro asia nalang kapag nakaipon. Magkano naman HK ngayon or japan?
