Hideaways Top Picks for Last-Minute Fall Escapes

Portsmouth, NH - (October 2007) - "Discerning travelers are not only selective about their travel accommodations, they also look for a good value from the luxury hotels, resorts, and cruises they choose," says Mike Thiel, Founder and President of Hideaways International™. "And it's certainly not too late for them to take advantage of the outstanding fall specials available at a select group of properties in The Hideaways Collection^®."

Many "fall" specials extend beyond the traditional fall timeframe well into December. And as many seasoned travelers know, the fall is a great time to travel, after the masses have returned to work and school, allowing more breathing room, lower prices, destination options, and date availability.

In addition to great last-minute savings, discerning Hideaways Aficionado^® Club members enjoy exclusive perks like a massage for two and wine-tastings, adding even more exceptional value. For some, those advantages are just part of the story. Year 'round, Hideaways Aficionado Club members enjoy exclusive insight and privileged travel benefits like negotiated low rates and room upgrades at boutique hotels, resorts, and cruises worldwide. Mike and his staff have experienced these superb and often lesser-known getaways and recommend them with confidence.

So this year, instead of storing away your suitcase until your winter trip, get packing for a fall getaway. Hideaways has negotiated these specials that shouldn't be missed.
