Spring Breakers Forget Mexico: Visit Ireland.

During the current economic situation, students want to get the most from their money and may be reconsidering their spring break plans. Here's an idea: instead of the normal Mexico trip, take spring break early and visit Ireland during the off-season.

Aer Lingus recently announced their winter off season vacation package special to promote Irish tourism. The package includes airfare, six nights in a fully equipped two bedroom villa at The Heritage Golf and Spa Resort and a rental car. Prices start at $499 and dates are during the winter break: Dec. 1, 2009-Feb. 11, 2010 (Dec. 18-31 are blackout dates).

The Heritage Golf and Spa Resort is a five star hotel located in the village of Killenard, just thirty minutes from Dublin. Its location is beneficial to guests that wish to explore Dublin and the Irish countryside.

Ireland's capital city, Dublin, is an active vibrant city with many attractions for young adults such as shopping, music, pubs and art.

Kilkenny Town is a nearby village located one hour and forty-five minutes from the resort. It is a popular medieval town known for the Kilkenny Castle.For more information: http://www.aerlingusvacationstore.com/vacations/ire-res-heri/
