Sandy I should have the vans by then and pick you up. If Slim could fix it were his flight was 30 min. Early then I could get both of you at the same time. I haven't heard from Arctic Mike?

Mike, if you have to make a trip to pick me up, I can wait thirty minutes for Slim to arrive. Meanwhile, I can practice saying "no" to the timeshare salesmen.

They actually try to give change in the same currency. Besides, they don't use current exchange rates, like banks do, so you end up short changed.

From hearing Adam's experiences in Cozumel, and from my experiences on the mainland, out away from the tourist area, it seems it really depends on where you are. When there last month on the mainland, they really didn't seem to want the USD, and always gave me change in Mexican currency in the local grocery store (and at really crappy exchange rate).

Based on Adam's experiences on the island, however, I think I'll leave most of mine in USD for this trip.

i never had that problem i wonder if that is just on the mainland. they almost always give pesos back for change on the island and as long as you know the exchange is 12 or 13% then it's no big deal

That's what I did works great.

cool looks like i need to make a trip to HD I'm going to dive wet this trip. So is everyone going OC?

[scubadam67]

Is this trip going to get on the Feathered Merkin band wagon or are we going to stay with the conservative speedos and thongs for dive wear?

Please look back around post 138. Proper attire was already discussed. Shirts, shorts, speedos, and thongs just have no place on a true adventure! To be one with nature, one should be as attired as "natural" as possible. GEEZ!

Sigh...I guess if the feathers are collected locally, the merkin would be acceptable.
