Hideaways Ambassador's Report: Antigua
By Shannon O'Neill
While sailing through the eastern Caribbean with Oceania Cruises THC, I grabbed at the chance to stop over for a day on the island of Antigua to visit three new partners in The Hideaways Collection®: Galley Bay THC, St. James's Club ∓ Villas THC, and The Verandah Resort & Spa THC.
Traveler's Journal: Arizona Dreamin'
By Pat Chaudoin
I realize the Arizona desert isn't everyone's cup of tea. But to me--a real desert rat from way back--there's something soul-stirring about its wide-open spaces, cobalt-blue sky, and jagged mountain peaks.
A Taste Of: Italy
By Hideaways Staff
If you love eating well as much as you enjoy traveling well, you owe yourself a visit to the table d'hote of Villa MangiacaneTHC in Florence.
Traveler's Journal: The Azores: So Near, and Yet So Far
By Mike Thiel
Try telling friends at your next Christmas party--as Gail and I did--that you've just came back from the Azores. Most will look at you with a blank stare. And no one is likely to come back at you with that smug "Oh yeah, we visited there years ago" response.
As You Like It: European Villas
If checking out hotel prices in Europe recently has left you gasping for breath--especially after doing the euro-to-dollar conversion--then we can suggest a pleasant alternative for seeing Europe in style, for less. Renting a private vacation home--whether it's a spacious villa in the countryside or a city apartment in one of Europe's capitals--is an easy, safe, and extremely economical way to immerse yourself in the local lifestyle.
As You Like It: Spas
Thankfully, it's been a long time since spas were referred to as "fat farms" and "sanitariums." Today, the language used to describe them is much more enticing, and so are the spas themselves. These oases of pure pampering deliver tranquility, cleansing, and general well-being in an atmosphere of such high style that sometimes it smacks of one-upmanship.
Members Forum - March 2008
When we book your trip, we ask you, our Hideaways Aficionado® Club members, to rate each hotel, villa, cruise, and adventure on numerous criteria including furnishings, cleanliness, service, location, and recreational activities; ratings run from 1-5 (5 being highest).
Traveler's Journal: Under the Volcano
By Hideaways Ambassador Bill Giles
I've been visiting the Big Island of Hawaii since 1980--almost as long as I've been a member of the Hideaways Aficionado® Club. These days, there's a lot rumbling on the Big Island besides the restless Kilauea Volcano. And unfortunately, more than gurgling lava has gone downhill. However, this biggest island by far of the Hawaiian chain still maintains the pervading mana (spirit) that distinguishes it beyond its size.
Tradewinds - March 2008
These vacation options were brought to our attention by our members as well as our sources and friends in the travel business. Hideaways has not inspected them, but we've heard great things and believe they might be of interest. Call Hideaways Travel Services at 877-843-4433 to arrange your stay at any of these getaways.
Special Report: Cruising
If you've ever stood in line at a Starbucks and pondered the seemingly endless choices, you have some idea of what it's like to choose a cruise lately. Mind-boggling!
