Speaking of, what kind of currency should I bring down? American dollars or Mexican pesos?
EDIT: I'm leaving in 19 hours and 41 minutes from...from...NOW!!!... 😵
Just a heads up: Change some transit money in the place of departure, just for what it may come, and when you land get away from the airport and change the rest of your budget. I repeat: Do not change in the airport. Right now you should be getting around 14 pesos per US dollar, which means you can buy a pack of Marlboros for US 1.20 and a beer in a decent bar for US 1.50
So... party on, mate! 🙂
I really wish you enjoy the most out of beautiful Mexico, its history, its natural wonders, its prices, and the best of it all: its people.

My hotel is in Puerto Morales, ever been there? It seems like a small town. I'm going to try and organize a van trip into Playa Del Carmen to meet up with my buddy, too. Would you recommend a trip into Cancun for shopping or anything?

Originally posted by PBE6Argh, no, no Cancún unless you want to be surrounded by underaged, binge drinking, pill popping springbreakers. Also, it is overpriced. You can check it just to say "I was there", though. Also, be sure to pop in Xcaret and swim with the dolphins! 🙂

No, no Canadian dollars. Mexicans use Canadian dollars as wallpaper in their cottages 😛

Those houses will be worth millions then when the Canadian dollar pushes back above the US dollar next year
