Top 10/10/10 Travel Deals

On "The Early Show" Tuesday, CBS News Travel Editor Peter Greenberg shared some of the top travel deals for October 10, 2010 or 10/10/10:

Not long ago, we were "celebrating" 7/7/7, considered one of the luckiest days of the century. In fact, that day was thought to be so auspicious that, according to TheKnot.com, the average number of weddings registered on the site for that date tripled when compared to other summer Saturdays.

And now, the once-in-a-century date of 10/10/10 is just around the corner. Ten is the magic number, the perfect score. What could be luckier than that?
Of course, the travel industry is always looking for an excuse to create a promotion so check out some of the deals being rolled out, as well as some of the over-the-top ways to celebrate.
