I wanted to have some time away from everything. I felt that I need to go somewhere but my budget was tight and there wasn't any airline seat sale. Baguio was the destination that went to mind easily. I figured, I could just ride the bus one night, sleep on my way there and start my adventure when I wake up in the morning. No plans.
I checked out some hotels online and found some discounted rates. I opened up the idea of going to Baguio to friend at work, Xan, who will be celebrating her birthday a day after mine. She said she could take some time off for herself as well and we invited two more girl friends at work as we had an idea months ago to have a weekend getaway to Baguio as well (that didn't happen due to some marital technicalities which I will not discuss further).
So the idea of having no plans was scratched out. Hotel was booked ahead. We got the priciest accommodation at a low rate. We all wanted to eat somewhere local delicacies are served or somewhere which is only known in Baguio. Xan got this all figured out and poof! She sent our itinerary.
