Road, sand, sea and soulmates

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. -George Harrison
It was the 20th of April, The sky is promising of a good weather. A good news for us because we have a trip to visit the haven of Gumasa, Saranggani. It was a get-away we are waiting for months, after a year of not seeing each other with work, school and distance we need to consider. We agreed to meet in Shobe's house at 7:00 a.m but I was already there at 6:30 a.m, I'm pretty excited you may say. We left Tacurong city (our hometown) at around 7:15 a.m, Having missed each other, our travel was full of laughter, teasing and selfies. The 2 hour drive to General Santos city passed like a blur. We had to stop by at Sm city Gensan where our friend Colen was waiting for us to buy food, drinks and of course liquor. The shopping takes longer than usual, blame it to long lines and goofing around. We left Gensan city at around 1:30 p.m and hit the road for Gumasa, Saranggani where our paradise awaits. We arrived at around 3:30 p.m a little late of our ETA for we had to stop at their market to buy "Lechon Manok" or grilled chicken for our dinner. There are several resorts to choose from, offering good accommodations and white sand beach yet we opted Isla Jardin Del Mar resort. We love the fact that it's quite far with other resorts and famous for not being too crowded, perfect for those people like us who wants privacy. The travel made a toll on us, so after we checked in and ushered into our cottage, we dig in for our food intended for lunch having no proper meal while on the road. Our cottage has two rooms and a bathroom, not bad for a P1,700 fee for a night. I shared the room with Colen, while April, Shobe and Ellen shared the other room. After resting for a while we decided to changed into our bikinis and had our pictures taken at the beachfront. Then, the night started wìth drinking ourselves to oblivion. I mean ellen. Hahah! Sharing things about our year, friends we met along our journey and our ups and lows. t'was a night worth remembering with lots of laughter and couple of tears. oh well, I can't give you every details, It is a pretty little secret. ♡
