*On the Saturday, March 7th, 2015 edition of The Travel Guys…*

This edition of The Travel Guys features an insightful interview with Anne Banas, Executive Editor of [SmarterTravel.com](http://www.smartertravel.com/). Anne comments on a recent story, questioning [if Mexico is a safe destination for spring-breakers](http://www.smartertravel.com/blogs/today-in-travel/is-mexico-safe-for-spring-break.html?id=22254490&source=91&value=2015-03-03+00%3A00%3A00&u=AF15711F03&nl_cs=22239202%3A%3A7597638%3A%3A22254490%3A%3A). Anne not only addresses that issue head on, she has a host of safety tips which apply not only to Mexico, but to any destination that is unfamiliar to you, foreign or domestic.

[The Travel Channel](http://www.travelchannel.com/) has a new show premiering Monday night at 10pm, **[Hotel Amazon](http://www.travelchannel.com/shows/hotel-amazon).** It's the fascinating story of two friends on a unique adventure, to create a hotel in the wilderness. Catch the interview and then watch the premiere of the 6-week series Monday night.

The guys discuss the **Seven Signs You Are An Annoying American Tourist,** Mark shares some acts of kindness he has witnessed or experienced on the road recently and the travel news we update you on the free trend toward free wi-fi in hotels and tell you about a new way to "buy" a cruise, which might not be as good of an idea as you might think.
