Can you guys please help me? Can you please give me other locations in the world that is not the US where I can get affordable tickets with direct flights out of Nassau, and be able to do my shopping at the same rate as the US?

I am in a business that allows me to travel to many of the states in the US on a monthly basis, am not interested in shopping in the United States at all. I am looking for an alternative. I am ready to stage a protest to " Boycott the US".
I think the United States truly believe that if their country were to cut us off by stopping pre-clearance, posting advisories that are untrue, or by threatening us to obey by their rules we would not be able to support ourselves.
I think as Bahamians, we have a special gift within ourselves to rise up no matter what negatives we encounter!

Are you comfortable shopping online? That is a cheaper way.

Depends on what you're shopping for. However, there's NO place in the WORLD like Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Linen N Things, Pier 1, Ann Taylor, Macy's, Payless, Barnes and Noble, Brandsmart, Children's Place...you get my drift. I say find other ways to boycott or protest against them...doing the traditional Bahamian one day-20 bags excursion hurts the hotels, car rentals and restaurants. But I'n ga lie...da US rocks when it comes to shopping. Did I mention Target...? Yup. NO ONE beats a TARGET! Oh and Radio Shack, Walmart...I running out...

I think they are forgetting where we are, geographically .. now if yah can move the whole Bahamas then we might be able to try out somewhere else .. :D

Still noone beats the prices of the US (besides Asia) .. and "beggars cant be choosers".
If yah rich then you can shop anywhere in the world though :D

The US distributors buy tons of products to be able to offer the lower prices that they do. We cant do the same here as we are a small country.

Id just like to know about these "untrue advisories" that they mentioned and also who is threatening them. :)

Bush is making up stories to justify his mistakes.

depends on what you're buying, but there is excellent shopping to be had in santo domingo, havana and port-au-prince, for starters (artwork, clothing, spirits, cigars, jewelry, books).

What does Bush have to do with this?
What stories? I have read some of the latest advisories and they are just facts. Also Bush has nothing to do with the advisories.

LOL! It was a joke (obviously not taken lightly by you). But I blame Bush even when I get pricked in my garden. :)
