Timely Escape: It may seem like fireworks were just lighting up the Fourth of July sky, but Labor Day is once again upon us. If, at this late hour, you find yourself lacking firm holiday plans, have no fear. There is one upside to today's skyrocketing fuel prices: many of the country's best hotels are underbooked and still have rooms available on just a few days' notice. Here, a range of last minute Labor Day getaways, all within driving distance of a major American city and all with availability as of Tuesday afternoon, 8/26. Now all you have to do is pack.

Thunderbird Inn

Marfa, TX

$200/night

Just thinking of Texas in August is likely to induce heatstroke, but the Labor Day weekend forecast for Marfa shows cloud cover, scattered showers, and highs in the low seventies. Arrive Friday in time for lunch at the Food Shark and be sure to call ahead and arrange a tour at the remarkable Judd Foundation, a wonder of the world for any art lover.
