A weekend 968 kilometer drive

Last Friday, we’re off to Quezon, Isabela to attend the wedding of our nephew, Ronelle.  We used our Toyota Innova over the Kia Carens to accommodate more cargoes.  As usual, I was the designated driver.

We left our place in Quezon City at around 12:00 noon.  We only made three stop-overs – in Petron NLEX (for lunch), in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija (for snacks), and in Sta. Fe, Nueva Viscaya (for coffee).  We arrived at my sister’s place in Quezon, Isabela at about 10:00 PM after traveling about 423 kilometers.

The following day, we left Quezon, Isabela and traveled about 60 kilometers to Tuguegarao City, where the wedding celebration and reception would take place. 

The wedding celebration at the Tuguegarao Cathedral was successful as nobody dared to stop it.

The reception followed at the nearby Hotel Roma.  We spent the night in Tuguegarao City and proceeded back to Quezon, Isabela before noon of Sunday.After some rests, we started our long drive back to Manila at about 4:00 PM.  We stopped over twice – in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija (for dinner) and in San Rafael, Bulacan (for coffee).  We arrived home safely at around 2:00 AM.
