Hotels.com Falls for Autumn With Great Savings in the Northeast; Teams With The Foliage Network to Give Customers Expert Foliage-Finding Facts

    DALLAS, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As the summer travel season
ends, Hotels.com is encouraging travelers to plan that family road trip or
romantic weekend getaway to check out the brilliant colors of the season and
take advantage of great hotel deals on http://www.hotels.com .
    "If you're looking for an excuse to take a trip this fall, there is no
better destination than New England for some outdoor family fun or an escape
for just the adults," said Cheryl Rosner, president of Hotels.com.  "Couple
that with Hotels.com's great savings on an extensive selection of lodging
options from hotels and resorts to bed & breakfasts and you've got an amazing
getaway planned!"
    According to http://www.foliagenetwork.com , the premier website for
tracking the changing colors of autumn, a combination of plentiful rain and
moderate temperatures during the summer months bodes well for this year's
foliage season.  This could be one to remember!  Hotels.com will feature
bi-weekly foliage reports from The Foliage Network providing seekers of the
annual autumn spectacular a detailed look at just where to find it.
    "When viewing the foliage, be sure to start out early in the day.  Not
only is the amount of daylight decreasing, but the angle of the morning sun
provides for great foliage viewing and excellent photo opportunities," advises
Marek Rzonca, founder and owner of The Foliage Network.  "If photography is
your thing, bring plenty of film (or extra batteries for those using a digital
camera).  You don't want to miss the perfect shot!  And don't forget,
sometimes the best foliage is found off the beaten path, so get out and
explore!"
