If you haven't got plans to travel this Christmas, here are five easy road trip destinations for your friends and family: Paoay Sand Dunes The usual mountain options for the coolweather season are nice, but since everyone wants to enjoy the cold, they'll also be packed full of tourists. Why not take it all the way up north to Ilocos and bask in the colonial history and heritage of Vigan?

If you've never been or haven't been in a while, it's a great place to visit. Enjoy the oldschool vibe at Calle Crisologo and the city's old town, see historic destinations like the Baluarte, and even go on an adventure a little farther north at the Paoay Sand Dunes.

Pandin Lake in San Pablo, Laguna If you're only willing to travel a couple of hours outside the Metro for your road trip, consider heading south into the province of Laguna-specifically, the city of San Pablo, also known as the City of Seven Lakes.
