^ @marie05 what's the name of the transient house? Thanks

[ceejhei]

rheap thank you. will research on the hotels. dalawa lang kami ni hubby.. naisip ko din sana to commute nalang para di na din siya pagod magdrive. thank you ulit sis! mas okay talaga to travel at night noh?

[rheap]

^You're welcome sis.  Better magcommute na lang kayo lalo na at tag-ulan. Nagka landslide sa Kennon Road due to continuous rain. Mura lang naman taxi dito. Madaming naka off rates ngayon. 40% sa Forest Inn at Burnham suites. Check mo Forrest Inn sis, magandang magdinner date dito.

We booked Genesis Joy Bus for our trip this August. Dapat sa Victory e di available online reservation, pupunta ka pa sa terminal to buy tickets super hassle. To those who've tried Deluxe of Genesis, okay naman ba? Thanks!

[luvko23]

^ Yes sis okay ang deluxe ng Genesis. Tried it last year. Maluwag ang seats, may restroom though maliit lang. Almost the same service rin as Victory Liner.

[rheap]

@hyder0906. It's been good weather for the past 2 weeks. Although for the past few days, umuulan sa hapon. Pero tumitila din naman. Please be aware that there are ongoing road constructions sa marcos hiway and kennon road. So yung travel time nyo madadagdagan.

My comments on your itinerary: You can't do La Presa in 30 minutes. Parang travel time pa lang yun papunta doon. Sa Strawberry Farm, if strawberry picking and purpose nyo, you might get disappointed Kasi baka wala ng tanim na strawberries, mga gulay na lang nakatanim doon. You might also want to check Tam-awan Village.

Thanks sis! 

Excited na ako mag-Baguio. After 11 years makakabalik na rin hehe. Family of 12 kame, kasama kase partners ng mga kapatid ko ang sweet hehe.  We'll be staying at Newtown Plaza Hotel, we got 3 rooms na good for 4. Pinapagawa nila ako itinerary, sabi ko sleeping pa lang naiisip ko dahil kelangan ko talaga ng rest because of stress sa work. 

[hyder0926]

@sis rheap.

Thanks for the update. We might cut on the itinerary if rains are expected in the afternoon.

Will revise our IT. Thanks again. =)

Went here last summer. So far, okay naman yung place na pinag stayan namin. Near burnham park, so pwedeng walking distance to harrison and session road.

May car pala kaming dala nito. Unlike before, commute lang kami. To be honest, mas okay na commute na lang. Grabe laging traffic nung time na nag punta kami. Saka sa parking, pahirapan din. Good thing sa mga fx sa Baguio, mura lang ang rate kaya kahit habang tour kayo, pwede na rin mag commute.

Unfortunately, hindi namin na try cafe by the ruins, yun pa naman gusto ko itry.

[blackgreen]

Akyat kami ulit sa Baguio sa long weekend. Excited na ako. Hahaha.. hindi talaga kami nagsasawa sa Baguio.

[ohcmon]

Sisses, san ba ang okay na hostel/B&B sa Baguio for a solo traveler? Parang gusto ko umakyat on the long weekend kaso baka wala na 'kong mapag-stayan na mej okay hehe

[gleek]

hi mga sis!baka may ma ssuggest kayo na house with parking space,2-3 bedrooms for overnight stay.. malapit sa session road, though ok lang kahit hindi mismo sa downtown wag lang masyado malayo. i've been trying to search na pero wala ko makita swak sa group namin.. 9 kami sa group..

[mindiegirl]

Gleek, sa teachers camp mura lang mga 1.1k per night. Ok naman daw rooms sabi ng friend ko. May lutuan din.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ Bonbel Condominium, malapit sa Botanical. They have 2-br and 3-br condo units for rent. Parking area is free for all (at least nung andun kami ng Feb). Pwede mag-cook, etc.
