One of the perks of living in the Philippines is relatively cheap domestic flights and the ability to leave planning until the last minute. Taking full advantage of that, we booked tickets on Tuesday for travel on Friday night up to Ilocos (Northern Luzon) for the MLK long weekend. The Laoag airport has the most amazing luggage carousel and mustache treats.
After a quick stop for tacos, we drove 1.5 hours north to the beach area called Pagudpud and spent Saturday beach hopping and waterfall hiking.
On Sunday we started working out way south down the coast back towards Laoag and then south to the town of Vigan. Along the way is the Philippines' only operating wind project, an old Spanish lighthouse, and sand dunes where you can take a quick 4x4 ride.
Vigan is one of the best preserved Spanish colonial towns in the Philippines and we arrived in time to see the nightly fountain/light show.
