Another oddity in the GPS world is that you can’t simply go by price. While some things you can go with the expensive models and get all the latest and greatest, that is not the case with GPS. The only real way to get what you want is to know Continue Reading

What Exactly Does Duty-Free Shopping Mean and How to Prepare #BayouTravel

Duty-Free shopping is not as cut and dried as it might seem on the surface. The vast majority of people that buy Duty-Free products have no idea what they are doing and if they are actually saving money or not.

So how can you be a savvy Duty-Free shopper and find the actual deals? It begins with learning what Duty-Free Continue Reading

My son has to be right out there with him. Continue Reading
