What's On Peter Greenberg's List for 2012? Surprises!

From Peter Greenberg's latest appearance on the CBS Morning Report - places to go for 2012...



Cuba: Savvy travelers have known about relaxed restrictions, but now just about anyone can go. As it's not all that popular with US tourists yet, the country has still got that 1950's time warp feel to it. Peter suggests making an excuse to go now before Starbucks and KFC get there.

Myanmar (Burma): the government is now issuing 14 day visas instead of just 7 days so you have an opportunity to visit more of the country. The powers that be are no fools - they recognize US tourism dollars represents desperately needed revenue, so they're promoting the country as an inviting destination.

Montenegro: "Croatia without the tourists." Did you know the country boasts 117 beaches?

Morocco: It's still exotic and now it's more affordable and even a bit more modern (without losing its character).

Chile: Fjords, Patagonia, wine country. What more could you ask for?

Portugal: They've had their economic collapse, so it's a relative bargain for US travelers.

Portland, OR: no sales tax, no food & beverage tax.

Portland, ME: edgy and hip but still New England-ey. Affordable (average dinner is $34, and that's for lobster!)
