I’m back! This was my fifth time in La Union and first time to explore other tourist destination in La Union. Itinerary was changed, I’m sad that San Juan, La Union was omitted because the wave wasn’t that good for surfing. People there told us that the best month of going to San Juan is November. So, we will try to go back in November.
Beach in Bauang, La Union is still relaxing, we enjoyed swimming from 7 – 10am and late in the afternoon. We explore some parts of San Fernando, La Union and Baguio when the sun is too [...]

I’m just waiting for my friends’ call so that we can start traveling from Manila to La Union. I planned our itinerary, our first stop will be Bauang, then San Fernando, then Baguio. I always dream of seeing San Juan, La Union. Surfing, snorkeling, waves and seeing surfers in action! I hope the new shift load of my friend will be effective next week so we can stay longer.
Its been two years since my last vacation in La Union and I’m really excited. My bags are packed and ready to go…
Pictures of my nature trip will be posted soon.
