Paradise Lost, Paradise Found

It's expensive for you to go on vacation so you'd better make sure it's worth the trip.

CBS News Travel Editor Peter Greenberg once wrote a book titled "Don't Go There: The Travel Detective's Essential Guide to the Must Miss Places in the World." These places include any city with too much crime, smog or traffic.

But he also has some advice on the best vacation deals right now. For example, Greenberg says now is a great time to visit Argentina because their peso is at an all time low compared to our dollar. But there's another deal that is a little closer to home.

"Mexico is a great deal right now. They've had a triple whammy of border violence, weather and a weak economy, and let's not forget the swine flu. So bottom line is it's a great time to go there. I go all the time; I've never had a problem. I don't come back glowing in the dark or frothing at the mouth. Great service and great deals."
