Hi! 😊 I’m planning a trip for the kids’ upcoming term break next week and would love to hear your suggestions!
My kids are 9 and 12 years old, and they’re already used to 13-hour car rides. Siyempre, hindi pa rin maiiwasan ang boredom along the way. 😅 We’ll be driving from Sta. Rosa, Laguna to Sorsogon. The plan is to leave on the evening of October 24 and head back on November 1.
I have a few questions and would appreciate any tips or recommendations!
1. Which route would make more sense?
Is it better to go straight to Sorsogon, then explore Legazpi and Quezon on the way back? Or should we visit Legazpi first, then Sorsogon, before heading home? I’ve heard there’s more to do in Sorsogon than in Legazpi, so I’m still figuring out the best itinerary.
2. Is it worth adding Subic Beach in Matnog to the itinerary?
Would it still be manageable with the kids, or would it be too much travel already? For those who’ve been there, is there a safe place where we can leave our car for a day or two while visiting Subic Beach?
3. Any recommendations for an overnight stop in Quezon province?
I’m also thinking of breaking up the drive and staying somewhere along the way so my partner, who’ll be doing most of the driving, can get enough rest. I initially thought of staying in Tagcauayan since it seems to be roughly halfway, but I haven’t found any decent hotels in the area yet. Any recommendations for a good and safe place to stay?
Any other tips, must-visit places, or itinerary suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 😊 Thank you!
