I will be on the Peter Greenberg Worldwide radio show this weekend.  It’s syndicated around the U.S., usually between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. EST.  You can find a radio station playing it in your area here.  If you miss it or don’t have access to it, it’ll show up in the archives later.

Peter Greenberg is Travel Editor for CBS News and is a regular on The Early Show.
