My daughter was in PV this past summer and said she had a hard time cashing travelers checks. She spent most of her time in the outlying areas. I will be coming to PV in a few weeks--staying mostly in town and wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing. I prefer not to use ATMs or charge cards. A few years ago during a trip to PV someone purchased $800 worth of tires in Guadalajara --courtesy of me on my charge card!...Never been to Guadalajara!

Well, friend, travelers checks are not used much at all any more. For the most part, ATM is safe. Just be very careful to look closely at the device you \"swipe\" your card in. If it looks to be a part of the ATM machine and not an add on, it is most likely safe to use. Chuck... 8)
