Spitzer Wins "I Need a Hideaway!" Award

Ex-Governor Bestowed Honorary Hideaways Aficionado® Club Membership to Escape the Limelight

Portsmouth, NH (PRWEB) March 20, 2008 -- Eliot Spitzer, ex-Governor of New York, has been named the latest recipient of the unique "I Need a Hideaway!" Award by the Hideaways Aficionado Club, the premier international luxury travel-planning service for discerning travelers who want to get away from it all.

"I have a feeling that, right about now, Mr. Spitzer might be looking for a special escape, and we have some great hideaways for him," says Mike Thiel, Hideaways' Founder/President. "We might suggest a private island resort in the Bahamas where they won't ask questions about how you spend your money. Or we know an exquisite little escape in Rio which rents luxurious suites and offers complete privacy and discretion."

Hideaways' staff scours the globe for its hidden vacation gems -- uncommon places to experience the exceptional while escaping the masses. As a club member, Spitzer will be privy to exclusive "insider information" -- all legal -- about the world's best lodgings and destinations. He'll also enjoy personal service -- again, totally legal -- to make his travel fantasies come true. Hideaways counts among its members and alumni Hollywood producers and entertainers, captains of industry, and best-selling authors, plus many ordinary folks who appreciate extraordinary vacations.
