If you could only give ONE piece of advice to ppl coming...

What would it be?

Mine would be to watch where you walk at ALL times!! The sidewalks can be battered, worn, and/or non-existent, so it is VERY important to watch your step!

Some bus drivers are OK - some are not..... HOLD ON!!!

Take care.

hey jennybean, your now a newbie....no longer just a guest, congratulations. i would also advise people to watch their step along with bring a few pairs of comfy shoes. we do so much walking that we like to wear a variety of shoes to avoid blisters.

Just let it happen. Go with an open mind and take in everything.

Keep some small pesos for incidental tipping and contributing when downtown. Outside many restaurants there are neighbourhood kids who will open the doors of the taxi for you. Giving them each 5 pesos will help them survive.

Sticking with the money theme - be aware that Canadian and US coins are of no value to Mexicans. Paper money is the only currency that is convertable to pesos .

Travel with respect and an open mind....sonofdob.

I think sonofdob has a great one... you are in a foreign country... their laws and their customs... you are their guest, not their better. Treat them with total respect, and go with an open mind and you will do just fine... go with an attitude and thinking you are better than them, my honest opinion is to you, stay home. but then again that is jmo....

My wife and I have never been to Puerto Vallarta. We are going to be there mid May and were wondering how much cash to bring. We will be there for 5 nights. How easy is it to use Traveler Checks? Are credit cards accepted most places? Thanks ahead of time for the help..
