5 Days, $500: West Ireland

5 days may be all you need to truly become civilized.

Sceptre Tours is offering an amazing deal to Western Ireland: for $499, you will fly in and out of Shannon Airport, receive a rental car with unlimited mileage, and spend 6 nights in a 5-star castle.

The Adare Manor, the historic Irish castle near Limerick where you’ll be staying, has been rated one of the top three resorts in Europe by the 2009 Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. Not only does it have a sumptuous interior and great service (including a delightfully traditional afternoon tea special), its beautiful location puts you in a prime spot to explore the best of the Irish countryside - including Galway, Killarney, Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle, and the Burren.

Sipping tea by morning, traipsing the picturesque countryside by day, and maybe even venturing into a pub or two for a Guinness at night? Now that’s the life of Larry, as the Irish would say.
