Sand Trails at Paoay San Dunes Ilocos Norte
It was 7 days, 1798 kilometers, 9 Conventions and Visitors Bureau (CVBs), 8 provinces in 4 regions, 26 people on one bus on a trip around Northern Luzon. This is the Lakbay Norte Familiarization tour held January 24-31, 2010. I’ve always wanted to do a horseshoe loop of north Luzon and I was glad I was able to do it with the help of North Philippines Visitors Bureau. It was packed, tiring but also fun and exciting. For those who would like to try the similar route, this would be a great reference on what to expect.

Also during the Lakbay Norte Tour, I acquired a few Microtel 50% Off Vouchers. I know I won’t be able to use all of them so I decided to just raffle them off over at the Facebook Backpack Photography Fan Page. Here are the four winners of the vouchers:
