park. >> reporter: good morning, everybody. it is six degrees in central park, the expected high 17 degrees. that seems to be the trend up and down the northeastern coast. so many places are so cold they haven't seen these frigid temps in 30 years. across the country the mercury is in a free fall, from des moines to international falls, the temperatures went from single digits to 30 below zero. >> it is bad. it is bitter cold. i don't want to be sitting here talking to you, no offense. >> reporter: a connecticut woman's frozen body was found in a driveway after she slipped and fell and a man died in pennsylvania after spending saturday night in his car. experts say this brutal cold can turn dangerous quickly. frostbite can begin to take effect in as little as five minutes. >> the cold affects the arteries

and the arteries in the fingers and toes so if you have any problems with your heart, diabetes, high blood pressure or other significant health issues, maybe going outside right now isn't the best thing for you to do. >> reporter: some braved the frigid elements to show just how nasty the weather is. one woman in michigan tweeted this picture of a therm mom ter that showed a reading of 35 below, in noise this river is so thick a dropped concrete block doesn't make a crack in the ice and it is not likely to thaw any time soon. let's look at the national temperatures, the current temperatures across the lower 48. you can see it is very, very chilly. you can see raleigh, 26, new york 6, caribou, maine, minus 13, fargo 13. kansas city is 12 degrees. the windchill is where we get into dangerous conditions.

boston, minus 23. those are current windchills. caribou, minus 23, burlington, vermont, minus 20. pittsburgh is four degrees the only good news is in the overnight hours in portions of the northeast, milder temperatures come in, but unfortunately another storm bringing in precipitation. one storm per week since the christmas blizzard. erica, very, very cold, dangerously cold. >> we need to get you back inside. marysol, thanks. from the weather to politics. president obama likely fine tuning his state of the union address this morning. we know the focus of that speech will be jobs. cbs news chip reed joins us with a preview. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. it is no surprise with the unemployment rate 9% the theme would be jobs. the president used the word jobs

18 times in his weekly radio address and a video message to supporters. >> my principal focus, my number one focus is going to be making sure we are competitive, we are growing and creating jobs, not just now, but well into the future. >> the president of the united states. >> reporter: to create more jobs an thereby strengthen the economy, white house advisers say president will propose five pillars, innovation, education, infrastructure, deficit reduction and reforming government. >> these are big challenges that are in front of us, but we are up to it as long as we come together as a people, republicans, democrats, independents. >> reporter: gets support from republicans who won back support in the house and increased numbers in the senate won't be easy especially when it comes to new spending. >> this is not a time to be looking at pumping up government

spending. >> reporter: you can expect a tone of more unity in the wake of the tragedy in tucson. typically republicans sit on one side of the chamber, democrats on the other. this year op site sides of the aisle will sit together, mary landrieu and olympia snowe, thune and gillibrand will pair off. charles schumer says he will be elbow to elbow with tom coburn. >> i think if coburn and schumer can sit next to each other just about everybody can. >> reporter: among the president's special guests will be the medical team tending to congresswoman gabrielle giffords and hero intern daniel hernandez. erica. >> he is an incredible 20-year-old. chip reid, thanks. joining us from washington, john dickerson. this is lots of good stuff for

you at this point as we look to the state of the union. the focus will be on jobs, but what will we hear in specifics. >> reporter: erica, we probably won't hear a lot of specifics. the white house sees this state of the union differently. there will be specifics about education and investment and the president will talk a lot about growth arguing america is at a turning point in the global competition against china and india. he will talk about cutting spnding. it is going to be more themematic, rather than a long list of specifics. >> those investments are a bit of an opening argument. the president calling them investments. on the right they are looked at as deficit spending. republicans are offering up paul ryan to give the republican response to the state of the union address. will we hear more specifics at

this point from the republicans in terms of what they would do for cutting spend something. >> reporter: the republicans don't lack specifics. the problem is picking which specifics to sign on to. a group of conservatives put out a plan cutting $2.5 trillion in ten years, cutting government spending to 2006 levels. paul ryan has a big plan to shrink the budget deficit. republicans won't sign on to and republican leaders are nervous about big, fast cuts. the question for republicans is, there are lots of specifics but which ones are they going to sign on to? >> that list was sweeping. if everything is on the table, i want to read you this from the "washington post," dets pilot their opposition to raising taxes, republicans have conceded that some cherished deductions such as the one that allows

homeowners to deduct their interest on their mortgage to go. do they have the stomach to cut one of the most popular deductions to the middle class? >> reporter: that is enough to make you choke on your coffee. that is 31% of taxpayers who own homes. it would be probably be for houses for say over $1 million and a tradeoff so people could no longer deduct their mortgage interest but their rate on their income would go down. there would be a trade offfor such a thing to pass. >> john dickerson, good to have you with us. it would be interesting, john mccain said let the president speak. let's not continue to interrupt him for standing ovations. >> the new seating arrangement, we'll see how that works out. senator mccain will be with us

tomorrow. jeff glor has a check of the headlines. >> we begin in russia where a suicide bombing in moscow's biggest airport. 23 people were killed in the attack at the domodedovo airport. the bomb went off in the international baggage claim area. the deadliest attack in moscow since march when a pair of subway bombings killed 40 people. a shooting at a walmart at seattle left two people dead and two sheriff's deputies wounded. the gunman was shot by police. five americans lost at sea are back on land. the americans were rescued yesterday after their catamaran got stuck in bad weather. they were reported missing when their boat didn't show up after a week and a half. their vessel was spotted from a plane over the weekend. they are said to be in good health. a close call in toronto.

witt johnson is in green bay, wisconsin, where packers fans are very pleased. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, we are in julie's cafe where the celebration has turned into a recovery for some people. the local paper, the "green bay press gazette" says it all, champs. a tough team in pittsburgh who is good at winning super bowls. >> roethlisberger is going to keep it. touchdown! >> reporter: two of the most storied franchises in history will collide for the first time. in bone chilling temperatures the green bay packers and pittsburgh steelers fought off the cold weather and desperate comebacks the packers haven't been to the big game since brett favre led them there in 1998. aaron rodgers can now finally step out of his shadow after running for the game's first

touchdown. and beating the rival chicago bears 21-13. >> nobody is going to beat the pack. >> reporter: in pittsburgh the steelers lived up to their nickname, blitz-burgh. they stunned the new york jets and held on to a 24-19 win. >> pittsburgh is going to the super bowl. >> reporter: the steelers are already the most winningest team. ben roethlisberger is looking for his third super bowl victory in the last six years. and the green bay packers won the first two super bowls ever played in 1966 and '67. the two big victories earned the city the nickname title town. the cheeseheads here are hoping to maintain that nickname when they go for their fourth super bowl. thanks very much.

she can really begin her therapy. how long will gabrielle giffords remain in intensive care? doctors still can't answer after her dramatic move from arizona to houston. memorial hermann hospital said her condition is improving daily, but concern about excessive fluid in her brain is keeping her in the icu. doctors hoped to remove her to this rehabilitation center. in icu she is undergoing daily therapy. she can't speak and suffers weakness or paralysis on the right side. >> it is improving. >> reporter: rob barber, who was shot twice during the january 8th attack is telling his terrifying story. >> the shock has not worn off. i have to say the tape still plays over and over in my head.

i can't help but continue to see the shooter rush past me and shoot congresswoman giffords and then he started spraying all of us with bullets. >> reporter: as barber, giffords and 11 others wounds recover, jared loughner will face arraignment before a federal judge in phoenix later today. the initial charges include the attempted murders of giffords and federal employees, but many more will follow, including murder charges that could ultimately lead to the death penalty. while that arraignment will go on as scheduled today in phoenix, the u.s. attorney's office has filed a request to have future court proceedings move back to tucson which will be easier for victims and their families. don teague, cbs news, houston. >> one of the things they are talking about is that travel, round trip travel for the witnesses, four hours to

in police hands, facing federal kidnapping charges in connection with white's 1987 abduction from this new york city hospital. >> just give me my baby back, please. i just want her back. >> reporter: back in 1987, her mother recalls a suspicious person posing as a nurse. >> she was trying to get rid of me so she could take my baby away from me. >> reporter: reportedly pettway was pregnant around that time, but had lost her baby. authorities are trying to determine whether she replaced that baby with carlina white. while her biological family desperately searched for decades, carlina white was renamed negligent ra nantz and raced just 50 miles away in bridgeport, connecticut. that's where pettway surrendered to police and fbi on sunday after she was reportedly recognized at a pawn shop. she was on probation following a conviction for attempted embezzlement. for as long as she can remember, carlina white thought she didn't

quite look like her so-called mother. when she couldn't find her birth certificate, she became suspicious and started searching online for clues. >> anything that pulled up in 1987, which any child missing. >> reporter: when she was reunited with her biological parents just last week, it became front page news. >> i just always believed that she would find me. that was something that i always believed in myself. >> reporter: now both carlin in and her biological family believe they can make up for lost time, by putting the past behind them. seth doane, cbs news, new york. >> joining us now is cbs news legal analyst jack ford. jack, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> miss pettway will appear in court today. what charges is she looking at? >> look at federal kidnapping charges, and in the federal scheme of things, kidnapping is one of the top charges you can get. you know, interestingly, there was no federal kidnapping offense until after the lindbergh kidnapping which took place back in the early '30s.

at that time, actually authorities found themselves unable to handle that case the way they would have liked to. that was the genesis of kidnapping statistic utds. it's a significant crime in the federal scheme of things. a range of ten years to life in prison. >> jurisdictions, there are a few at play here right now. that could complicate things. >> it could. but i think what you're going to see happen is this. the child was kidnapped here in new york city. so new york might look at it, new york has some statute of limitations problems, the way theirs is set up. statute of limitations basically means there's a time period within which you have to be prosecuted. usually starts from the day of event. simple illustration, an armed robbery takes place on the street, from that day and time, the statute it starts to run. the reason i think you'll see it in the federal system is the statute of limitations hasn't run. because she was under 18 at the time and this was a continuing offense. i think although all of them have a piece of something, ultimately you're going to see the federal authorities here in new york city probably handle the prosecution.

>> you say this was a continuing offense, is that because she wasn't returned? >> yeah, yeah. if, in fact, she had been kidnapped and two years later got out and return, statute probably would have run, or at least would have been argumentative at that point in time. because she didn't, and because she was a child, an infant when it all happened, it should not be a problem for the federal authorities. >> as far as defending miss pettway, how do you see this playing out? >> you know,ist hard. if you look at just the facts on the surface you say how can there be a defense? she took somebody else's child. there doesn't seem to be any real doubt about it, that she knew she was taking somebody else's child. if i'm her lawyer the first

somebody's running in central park and it's 6 degrees. good luck to you. i wonder how many layers this person has on? of course when it's cold out we all want to bundle up. but is it the right move? the best way to stay warm and healthy? just one of the myths that we're going to tackle this morning as we take a look at how keeping you both warm and healthy in these extremely cold temperatures. joining us to help separate that fact from fiction is amy brightfield who is health director of "women's day" magazine. good morning. >> good morning. >> we see this person running in central park. one would hope that they have some layers on. >> yes. >> and is that really the best way to stay warm in these kind of temperatures? >> it is the best way to stay warm. but you want to be careful not to layer up too much so that you go outside and you start to sweat. because then you get chilled because the water on the surface of your skin. so the layers you want to wear, you want to put on something that has a wicking ability to wick the moisture away from your

body so it doesn't settle on your skin. >> now fact or fiction on this one, does the cold give you a cold? >> well, it could. it's common in the industry you get a cold by being exposed to the cold virus and it enters your body, you touch it, you touch your face or your eyes or your nose or your mouth. but, studies have shown actually the cold weather, when your body is shivering all your body's resources are going to keeping you warm and not going to fighting off whatever virus you might be exposed to. so it does dampen your immune system. and they did an experiment where they put people's feet in ice water for 20 minutes and they put people's feet in nothing for 20 minutes, and the people who had their feet in the ice water actually 29% of them developed cold symptoms, and then a much lower percentage of the non-water people developed nothing. >> and in that short period of time that's really interesting. this is another reason, probably, to layer up. make sure your head is covered.

>> your extremities. you lose about 50% of your heat through your head. >> okay so that's a maybe on that one. frostbite. can you really get frostbite in as little as five minutes? >> you can, especially when the weather is as cold as it is outside right now. when it's 10 below and it's really windy, it can happen in as little as five minutes. so when the temperature dips below zero, you don't want to go outside if you don't have to. and when it's above about ten degrees above and it's really windy, you can get it in as little as 30 minutes. that's not that long if you're standing outside, say in the city, waiting for the bus. what happens is that your body diverts blood away from your extremities to keep your core warm because it senses that you might be in danger for getting hypothermia, and your skin actually freezes. >> and so that's why you see it most often then on your fingertips or your nose? >> yeah. because those are the places that you're exposed. if you're going to go outside, that's why you cover up. that's why we see people wearing face masks. any piece of skin that's exposed is at risk. >> i can remember wrapping my

head in a scarf when i was in school in boston because that wind is so cold you really feel it on your face. >> the windchill factor affects it. >> gets you every time. lastly, fact or fiction on this one. a lot of people, you know, in the summertime we close our drapes to keep the heat out. should you close them to keep the heat in in the winter? >> well, on a sunny day, that's false. because on a sunny day, if you leave them open it can actually, sunshine can warm up the house and maybe put a little bit of a dent in your heating bill. but also remember at night, to close them back up. but it is true that if it's a sunny day you leave the blinds open that it can definitely help keep your house warmer a couple of degrees. >> and it will keep it warmer at night as long as you close them. amy brightfield some great tips for us this morning. thanks for coming by. >> thank you. >> just ahead, she is the queen of talk and she's made plenty of people cry over the years. this time, though, could it be oprah who breaks down? she is teasing a major family secret just ahead we'll dish on what that could be. this is "the early show" on cbs.

it? >> no. it's not hard to look at a jersey. the jersey to me was sem r(t&hác all of the effort to work, the sacrifice that it took to get to the point to earn that jersey. >> reporter: last week byrd's beloved jets prepared for a playoff game against their biggest rival. the heavily favored new england patriots. in an effort to give the team a boost, byrd took that jersey off his shelf and sent it to jets head coach rex ryan. >> it blew me away, and i was, like, wow, man, this is incredible. it was such an honor. >> reporter: ryan was so moved by the gesture, that he asked byrd to visit the team. the night before the game byrd stood before them. >> it was for them to understand the importance of the moment as well as to understand the true gift of what they have as athletes. >> and it worked. >> and it worked. >> reporter: the team hung byrd's jersey in the locker room on game day with the message

still echoing in their heads that the jets and continue their playoff run. >> we did that at the end of the game. he was such an inspiration that he has given us. >> we're proud that he wore a jets jersey. we're proud to wear that same jersey. >> why this year did you decide to reach out to these guys and be a part of this run? >> the simplest answer is it's time. i knew that, you know, this is the moment. >> reporter: last night as the jets faced the pittsburgh steelers for a chance to go to the super bowl, byrd walked with his team once again as their honor rather captain. while the jets were defeated 24-19, they played valiantly and never gave up, which is all number 90 could ask for. >> for four years run up and down that field and do the thing that i absolutely adored doing. that is so special to me for that number to be seen as an inspirational number. i got to tell you something, i

even prince charming can't escape the trained eye of the press. which is firmly focused on prince william's hairline, and headlines can be downright mean. some suggesting the 28-year-old may be rushing to the altar before losing any more hair. there's no proof that prompted the royal proposal. but for the 80 million americans losing their hair, experts say it can be a factor. with single men worried a receding hairline makes them less attractive. >> men are now feeling the same pressures that women have felt for decades. >> good thing you had hair when we got married. >> i know. otherwise i wouldn't have her right now. >> reporter: an explosion of men's magazines is pushing that image of a perfectly sculpted body, topped by a full head of hair. men are spending a billion dollars a year on hair growth products alone. even president obama has drawn headlines for his hair. with new photos prompting questions as to whether he's

dyed it for a more youthful look. >> grecian formula? >> reporter: and with women making gains in the workplace, improving their wages by 28% compared to men in the last 30 years, they can afford to be more picky when choosing a partner. >> as women have become more independent, they're looking to men in much the same way that men historically look to women. >> i thought he was going to kiss me. but he didn't. i even leaned back like this. >> reporter: the 1950s image of a woman desperate to find a husband is clearly a thing of the past. as is men's focus on their wallets over their waistline. william does have one advantage over most men. some day he may be able to cover up with a crown. covering the crown with a different crown. joining us this morning is lesley jane seymour editor in chief of "more" magazine. >> good to see you. >> have we really come to the point where men are so concerned about their looks they may want to get married earlier before they start to go?

>> who knew they had an expiration date. there are going to be a lot of women out there who are saying finally men are living like we are, with an expiration date hanging over you every five minutes. it's really sad. it's a shame. but as women get to be more independent, as we have, you know, more economic power, a fat wallet doesn't look so good when the hair is thinning, i guess. you know. >> i mean, as women are looking, it may not look as good, the money may not be as important but everybody wants some sort of stability. >> yes. >> which now it's the couple bringing it to the relationship than just one side of it >> yes, yes, yes. and it's not all about your hair. hopefully women have always known and have always chosen to wake up, as they say, not next to handsome every day. you wake up next to your best friend. you wake up next to the guy who's a wonderful father. there are many other things that you can wake up next to. >> looks don't last forever. >> no. >> how does this impact, though? because we joke about finally they know what it's like for women, and we mean it. it's not really just a joke. how does that impact a woman, though, and her self-esteem, the

way she views herself? >> well, i think for once it's maybe leveling the playing field a lot. you know, look, it pays if you're going to start going bald to be a prince. but if you're not, you're going to be a prince in your own mind. but women have lived with this for so long and maybe there's going to be, look at all those guys who are getting older who've always gone through the 20-year-old and the 30-year-olds. maybe they got to look for somebody who is a little more forgiving. >> or someone their own age. >> someone their own age. which is not bad. >> when it comes to men and women on this, do you think, even as many are paying more attention to their appearance, do we really see eye-to-eye on the things that we're focusing on in terms of we want to work on, we want to look good in certain areas? >> i think, look, it's not a bad thing in any case to always be, you know, just because you get married doesn't mean you can pull the rip cord on your looks. you can't just sort of settle down and let it all hang out there. i think it's good that if men and women both know, look, i've got to keep her interested, he has to keep me interested. it shouldn't just be always the woman who has to do it. >> it shouldn't be. and can it also bring you closer

as a couple -- feeling those same pressures? >> yes. >> benefit in your relationship? >> yes. but i think any kind of equality does benefit a relationship. so somebody isn't always in the, you know, the giving side and the other person's on the taking side. and i think anything that's sort of levels us out is great. >> so it's not the end of the world for men. they should know that if they're losing a little hair. >> no. go to italy and men know how to do it really well there. they shave it off and get those great glasses and they look amazing. >> it's all in the sunglasses. >> there you go. >> lesley, thanks. just ahead this morning, plugging up the money leaks that are everywhere. eight simple changes you can make to save big money for you and your family. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. your local news is next. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

all this time. >> yes, it's part of the game. it's harder on folks who can't come inside than it is for me. >> we'll get you inside in just a second. just ahead in this tough economy we all love to save a little extra cash, right? you brown-bag your lunch. you skip the bottled water. you're learning not to buy that latte. we have eight more ways for you to plug up those money leaks this morning. keep the cash where it belongs, which is, of course, with you. >> in your pocket. >> also, the royal wedding fast approaching, in case you haven't heard. have we mentioned that lately? >> the royal wedding. >> if you're like most of us, you're not going to get a royal invite. but if you really, really want to go we've got some great travel tips that you can join in the fun in london on april 29th. without breaking the bank. >> that's the key. because i have a feeling they're raising rates. >> no, no. >> also, it's citrus time in the stores. >> you didn't know? >> oranges, lemons, grapefruits all in season right now.

so chef marcus samuelsson is here with some great recipes. red citrus roasted chicken. listen to this a citrus sangria. >> we've all been noticing how good it smells in the studio. so if the smell is any indication of what that meal is going to taste like we're in for a treat. >> and if i could just say this real quickly, how about a nice round of applause for marysol, who has been out in these temperatures all morning. we've had the luxury of being in the studio. >> not me. >> but you. >> i'm good. i'm warm. they're making life great because gosh, it doesn't sound like they're cold at all. >> no, it doesn't. >> well, yeah. good thing they don't have to stay out here much longer. let's take a look at the maps and show you what's in store for the rest of the nation. there's your national forecast. you can see there's a big area of high pressure. the sunny skies, frigid temperatures. the northwest is getting their fair share of morning fog. afternoon showers, and the higher elevations. we're talking

>> thank you so much. and these intrepid women out here braving the cold are all dancers from chicago. and i would be remiss, because lord knows you folks at home, i batter you with the pronunciation of my name. what's your name? >> marysol. >> why don't you say marysol? >> marysol. >> marysol, thanks. just ahead, no matter how hard to try to save money, you could still be leaking cash and not even know it. we don't want that to happen any longer. so this morning we are helping you plug those financial leaks. jaimee zanzinger is special projects director for "women's day" magazine. great to have you with us. >> thank you for having me. >> it's all these little things that can really add up to a lot. one of the first ones is our bank account companies offer all

of these flex spending plans. a lot of people, though, don't take advantage of them. >> you are literally throwing money away if you don't take advantage of your company's flexible spending program, which lets you set aside pretax money for health care expenses like doctor's appointments, and prescriptions. surprisingly, though, like you said, 85% of companies offer flexible spending accounts, but only 23% of employees take advantage of them. so if you do the math, if you set aside $1,000 on what you're normally taxed 25%, that's $250 in your pocket. >> and you could also do it for child care expenses, as well, which can really be a help. so two great things to take advantage of there. turning down the heat on your washing machine. should we always wash in cold? >> yes. wash in cold, even your whites. there are great detergents on the market, and the reason is, it's because in order to wash in cold, a washing machine uses 90% less energy. >> 90%? >> it doesn't have to heat up the water. 90% and that translates into a

$30 to $40 savings per year. so cold water is the way to go. >> that's a good thing to do. also we have so many gadgets around the house nowadays, even phone chargers. unplug everything when you're not using it. >> even when you're not using it those electronic devices are sapping energy that you're paying for. so if you plug everything into power strips, and take two minutes before bed every night and turn them off you could save between $100 and $200 on your electricity costs. that's up to 8% of your total household electricity. >> we've already found like 500 bucks and we're not even halfway through here. charitable deductions and this covers everything. you should just basically always make sure you get a receipt. >> yes, hang onto your receipts. whether you're donating clothes or furniture or even cash, because you can deduct the fair market value of all of those donations come tax time. you know, a great idea is to use the free service at itsdeductible.com. it will help you track all of your donations, find the value of those items and it loads them

into your turbo tax forms. >> itsdeductible.com. noting that one. also the overdraft protection fees, which have just gotten out of control. $35 in some cases banks are charging you as they help you cover transactions. >> yes. opt out of these programs. what you're doing, if you opt in to overdraft protection, it's giving your bank permission to take $10 to $35 every single time your account is overdrawn. and that's money you don't have in the first place. >> right. so you shouldn't be spending it. >> right. so it's so much smarter to keep track of your balance and to sign up for those free alerts via text message, or e-mail when your account dips below a certain number. >> great idea. i love those alerts. you say when we go out to eat, one of the things we really should not be spending money on are drinks. alcoholic drinks. >> this is a tough one for many of us. but alcohol is really one of the highest marked-up items at restaurants. so crane's new york business reported that one new york restaurant marks up its wines

575%. >> what? >> so know what you're drinking. be really aware of the wines that you're choosing. and maybe even have a glass of wine at home or choose a byob restaurant. >> also you say cell phones as we know, the plans can really get you. it's easy to find the right plan just by looking at what you use. >> right. and anybody what's gotten charged overtime minutes, socked with those fees, knows that cell phone providers make a mint off of these. they can charge you up to 45 cents per minute. so it's a great idea to have halfway through the month check your balance, see where you land, and then sometimes the provider will even let you pay a $5 to $10 one-time fee to extend your minutes for the month. >> great idea. finally my printer. why is my printer sucking money out of my bank account? >> refill cartridges are so expensive. in fact one study found that printer cartridges can cost up to 500% more than the price of the printer over its lifetime. so when you're buying a printer, make sure to check out how much those cartridges are going to cost and factor that in. and if you're not in the market for a printer, you can turn in

your refill cartridges at places like office depot and staples, and they'll give you $2 back in store credit. that's just free money. >> we'll take everything we can get. jaimee zanzinger, great tips. >> thank you so much. >> for more ways to plug the money leaks logon to our website at earlyshow.cbsnews.com. now here's chris. >> erica, thank you. no doubt prince william and kate middleton have already sent out their save the date cards. and if you really want to see them tie the knot in london on april 29th there's still time to book your fright. but you better hurry. a lot of other people are planning on being there, as well. it was the engagement the world was waiting for. on november 16th, 2010, prince william of wales and girlfriend kate middleton announced their intention to marry and excitement for the biggest royal wedding in 30 years began to build. >> i would say this royal wedding is going to be the biggest event in the world. charles and diana's wedding before this was probably one of the biggest events ever. but this one might just be bigger. >> reporter: with the global television audience estimated to

be 4 billion, interest in william and kate's nuptials is expected to be particularly high in the u.s. the largest market for the royals outside of england. >> everyone loves a good fairy tale. and you don't have a monarchy here in the u.s. so there's that spiked interest which we hope to convert into travel. >> reporter: on the date of the announcement, royal family-related internet searches surged 5,000 percent. in the month since searches for flights to london are up 20% and royal wedding hotels 35%. tourism sites in the u.s. have enjoyed a similar increase. >> at kayak.com we've seen three times as many flight searches since the announcement of the royal wedding date. and on the hotel side we've seen eight times as many searches for hotels in london around that date. >> reporter: while wedding buzz means hotel rooms and flights are going fast, it's not too late to block. but if you want to witness history firsthand, time is running out. >> i think people realize that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a true british spectacle. in fact we're expected to sell

every seat in the week up to the royal wedding. >> reporter: for those who manage to cross the atlantic, friday, april 29th, 2011, should be a party for the ages. >> it feels genuine. this is a true love story. and it's a young couple that are very popular. i think the partying are go on well into the night and probably all the way through monday. >> yes, london is calling. let's now get some tips on how to have a royal good time from mark orwoll the international editor of "travel & leisure" magazine who is with us here this morning. mark, good to see you. >> good morning. >> the wedding of charles and di was an experience of a lifetime back in 1981. >> sure. >> and i think most people were thinking that this is going to be a similar experience. before we get to the old, do you feel that way? >> absolutely. this is going to be a memorable experience. the uk government has already declared april 29th to be a public holiday. they're expecting an additional 600,000 people come nothing town for the wedding. this is going to be something to remember forever. >> if you don't have the opportunity to get an invitation

to the wedding, can the common folks go out there and actually get a little glimpse of the action? >> you really can. you know, there's a prescribed parade route, and you'll be able to line up along there. i would suggest that there are going to be people sleeping overnight. so if you want to get there early, you know, three or four hours early you can. it's going to start at westminster abbey, they're going to go past the tower of big ben, along whitehall where all the government offices are through the horse guard's parade and down the mall past st. james's park all the way to buckingham palace. you can line up on the route and watch it yourself. >> back in 1981 i had the opportunity of being along the parade route for the first royal wedding and it is quite an experience. now let's talk about how much. can you do this affordably? >> well, depends on how you define fordbly. you could do it for under $1,000 per person if two people are traveling to the. you can get airfare right now for $675 from the east coast to london. you can also get a hotel or b&b

for under $150 a night. so you put that together, you still have a few hundred dollars left for your meals. you could do it pretty affordably. >> what do you feel is the most affordable way to do this? >> the airfares. they're saying airfares are jacked up like 40% already and they're going to go even higher, so what i would suggest is you might want to consider flying to paris or brussels, and then hop on the eurostar, the express train that goes under the english channel and then through all the way to central london and save a lot of money. >> you're talking about over 90,000 hotel rooms. i know you said b&bs. you need to search out for some deals. >> there's a web site called bedandbreakfast.com. you go to their london section. i found rooms still available for under $150 a night. an alternative would be to go to places like cambridge, oxford, brighten. you can get to central london in under an hour on british rail. so you can get hotels for about $100 a night. >> what about attractions if you were there and you wanted to go

on a will and kate tour? >> one of the places you've got to go to is the night club that's a tiki bar theme. it's expensive. if you don't want to pay to get in there they're planning to throw a street party so you can party at the night club. jigsaw, the beau teen where kate used to work. i mean, the jewelsers where they got the engagement ring. all of these things you can do on your own or go on a guided tour for inexpensive amount of money. >> like star tours. finally if you can't get to london to see them at the actual wedding, you recommend possibly going to the honeymoon spots. >> if you're going on a honeymoon you want privacy. if you're the royal couple you want luxury. a lot of royal watchers are suggesting for that combination you might look at lizard island resort off the coast of australia. the great barrier reef. it's one of the most beautiful private island resorts you can imagine. and i checked, there are still rooms available for the week following the wedding. so if you want to take a chance, the cheapest room however is

$1400 a night. >> you threw affordable right out the window. >> yeah, that's right. >> mark, we'll be talking with you more in the run-up to the royal wedding. erica? >> chris, thanks. here's a little something to take the chill out of the air for you. and cook in season. citrus fruits are in season right now and joining us with some delicious ways that you can incorporate those in your kitchen is chef marcus samuelsson who is the owner of red rooster harlem restaurant in manhattan and the author of "the new american table." welcome back, my friend. >> how are you? >> you grew up in sweden so we were talking about this cold. it's normal for you. >> it is normal. but still it was really, really cold this morning. what could be better than some citrus? >> citrus because it gives you such a nice little bit of -- it brightens a cold winter day. >> right. and sort of gives you a kick. and also the middle of winter it's always hard to get fresh fruit. you can get that with citrus. >> right. >> we've got a bunch of different examples here. >> and roast chicken is the main thing we're going to cook today
