Exclusive Fall Travel Deals
Fall travel offers cheaper prices, fewer crowds and still-great weather.
Sept. 26,2012— -- I've said it before but that won't stop me from saying it again: Shoulder season is one of the best times of the year to travel. We're in shoulder season right now, the time of year following the peak summer travel season when airfare is cheap, crowds are few and the weather is still great in many popular destinations.
If you saw my first article this season on fall travel deals but didn't find one to suit you, not to worry – I've negotiated four more deals you won't find anywhere but ABC News. From New England leaf peeping to Caribbean beaches, I've got you covered.
