A cpl other recomendations...... have the international tool free number for your cards... just in case!! We too had to call from Mexico once because our card was suspended, we did find the number after searching online and paying for internet. Next, we LOVE to take $2 bills for our tips. We usually take about $500 in $2's and about $500 in singles so we can mix and match. Mexicans consider the $2 bill good luck, and you will usually find Mexican's like to have one on them at all times, however, they don't see them very often. They are like lucky rabbits feet!
We usually get $500 in singles and fives for tipping. Dave agrees with the $20-$25/day, he said that's what we normally spend, too. I wouldn't know because I never have pockets . We joke that the bank must think we're professional strip joint customers based on the number of times a year we get mass amounts of ones.
Since we don't take tours or go sightseeing anymore, just stay and soak up all the fun times at the resort, we only take about $400. Usually we take 5-$20, 20-$5, and 50-$1. Thanks for the info about the $2 bill, we will have to get a few of them from the bank. Didn't know that anyone considered them good luck. Since the staff works hard to make us happy we would like to make them happy too. If a $2 bill tip makes them happy we are all for it. TTR-Desire Week Sep. 2011 TTR-Desire Week Oct 2011
