The Early Show's Dave Price and "All-Access Pass" recipient Charece Williams of Orlando, Fla., pose on Copacabana Beach, right outside the JW Marriott Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They were so excited they took a dip before checking in to the hotel.

After a cable car ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, Dave Price, left, and Early Show producers Bart D'Elia and Rebecca Resnick stop for a photo. The granite and quartz monolith towers 1,300 feet above sea level and is said to get its name because of its resemblance to a loaf of refined sugar. Later, Dave and Charece were lucky enough to enjoy the view by helicopter.
On Saturday, the first night of Carnival, Dave and Charece got right in on the action and danced in the parade.
