I think I’ve said enough about San Juan, Pagudpud and Baguio in prior posts so the only photos left worth uploading are from a trip to Fort Ilocandia in Laoag with the kids and another with Miren and myself alone on a side trip to Paoay.

Fort Ilocandia

Laoag, Philippines


As mentioned previously, Fort Ilocandia is a family favorite. It is so big that it is never crowded. The ambiance is so relaxing, the rooms large and the food great. There used to be duty-free shopping and I think the casino is still there. The expansive grounds are perfectly maintained and manicured.

The following photos were taken on a Holy Week vacation which coincided with the birthday of Timmy, April 15.

The kids liked it particularly because it has 3 swimming pools, one is Olympic-sized, another is deep and the third a smaller kiddie pool with a slide.


The beach is the widest I have seen and form part of the famous dunes although the sea is a bit rough and deepens quickly.

Marcos Country

Paoay, Philippines


Miren and I hardly get a chance to take off on our own. We just can't bring ourselves to leave the kids behind. On this trip, Miren had to go to Vigan for work so I offered to be the driver. It was over a couple of weekdays so the kids couldn't come or they would miss school. Finally!

The next photos are of Miren and myself in Paoay.
