Road Trip, Food Trip!

When I was a kid, the only thing we look forward to is our usual trip to the beach or swimming outing. Our trips were frequently going to the North more particularly Dagupan and Candon Ilocos Sur since my parents were both Ilocanos and had properties from the area I just mentioned.  Besides those northern exposures we usually go to somewhere near for our annual family outing. It was either a private pool together with the friends of my dad or the whole family going to the urine friendly & crap infested Lido beach in Cavite.


Then came the news that my bestfriend Louise's sister, Angelica and his husband Jeff will go to manila on a vacation which got us all excited. Louise then researched on a great southern trip that I believe would make Angelica's stay here all the more exciting. She even made a blog about it and our email exchanges listed the event as Food Trip.  Later on I learned that that trip is waht southerners call Viaje del Sol which brings tour enthusiasts to various nice scenic spots, tourist attractions and restaurants in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas and Quezon or simply the Calabarzon Area.


On a road trip like this, you dont care how long it takes to drive or ride as long as the people you are with are the people you enjoy a lot.  Bottomline there was a plan but sometimes even the best of plans doesn't really come out as planned. First we thought we were around 15 but unfortunately 4 people backed out which made it less happy but still manageably okay. I barely slep since i got home at around 12 am since I had a lot to do in the office. I slept at 1 am and woke up at 5:15 am and went off to the races. Eventually we were 11. Me, Louise, Arvin, Harvard, Gel, Jeff, Ana,Tin,Jojit plus Tita Julie and Tito Luis.



Our plan was to have breakfast at Lukban, Quezon, visit the Kamay ni Hesus shrine, then its off to more picture taking at the nearby old churches in the Quezon Province then have lunch at Ugo Potter's Garden Restaurant in Tiaong, Quezon. After Lunch the plan was to see one of the Lakes in San Pablo City. As we all know San Pablo is the land of seven lakes and seeing one is enough. Dinner is at the Sulyap Gallery and we can retire at the Casa San Pablo hotel. The next day if free time in the morning, lunch at the Sulyap Garden and finally a trip to Carlito's Workshop which is also in  San Pablo. Quite a nice and detailed itinerary to have fun.


We eventually left Manila at 7:30 am and had a stop over at the Peteron Gas Station. The south super highway wasy so traffic and got to Lukban Quezon at 11:30 Am. That basically scrapped the whole morning itinerary. But that's okay we still had fun on our Road Trip, Food Trip!
