SPELUNKING AT CAGAYAN… BUT OF COURSE WORK MUNA!
The office went on another land trip this time to a region that not many people get to see because one had to travel like twelve hours just to get there by land…then if one wants to go by plane, there are available flights naman but the usual flights are made by just small planes that can easily maneuver the region’s mountainous terrain. And so we opted to go by land and rented a bus so that the entire Secretariat of the office can be easily accommodated. We left at around 1pm and only stopped to eat (at Chowking) and for some short pit stops along the way so we arrived at Hotel Roma of Cagayan by 1AM.
The first day was spent on preparations lang muna… the food that the hotel served was great and plentiful! Even the rooms were clean and new. It’s just too bad the hubby and I weren’t together in a room this time, but that’s OK since I roomed with Del and Che in a new wing of the hotel…I just get lost often because of the too many twists and turns.
The two days of the LPSA went well without much of a hitch …after all this is our umpteenth time to hold such kind of gathering so it is expected that we have mastered all the moves already. The people and places change but the process remains the same. We just keep ourselves entertained by posing for pictures(sometimes with known personalities) every time we get the chance.
But, of course, the main highlight of our trip is the visit to the different places of interest in the places that we hold conferences in… this time around, we went to Our Lady of Piat church and the Callao caves. The only problem was that the tour bus conked out just as we were going to Callao so we had to be brought there by the Victory Liner bus we hired to take us home. Expectedly it was dark na by the time we got to the caves…just too bad because we can’t see anything much na! Not even the bats which the locals say is a sight to behold when one sees them going out of the caves like a huge black cloud…well, maybe next time!
