Yes, Tipping Advice Again!

Started August 31, 2006 · 18,499 views · 6 posts
Well everytime I go to Mexico, I usually convert my money into American..think of it this way..whenever you buy something with your American $$ they will give you back your change in Pesos. So if you have some pesos, tip the maid with them. I think it works out to be easier for them having their own currency. If not, we sometimes tip the maid at the end of the trip usually $10 American, or whatever Pesos we have left! Have a great trip! :D

No Problem! You are going to love it! It is so beautiful! If your interested in night life, i posted something in the NIGHTLIFE forum about all the bars you can check out.. :D
And about the weather.... from what my friends in PV tell me, as well as the people on the forum..dont believe the weather forcasts! It always says that is raining! It usually only rains later in the day, or at night..and it usually doesnt last very long... now because of this hurricane John, im not sure how the weather will be..but Im sure it will clear up! DONT WORRY :D
Unless your going to Cabo, then I would worry..seems to me everything is doing well in PV!

Tipping again... yawn
Did you read through all the tipping sticky thread here? http://www.puertovallarta.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8995

There are sublinks too, follow those, I think most the info you are requesting and much more is already answered.

Mogens
hehehe...Sorry....just went with the flow. Converting CDN to US and then ultimately to pesos is the \"bad\" idea.
Agreed
Ah, yes...on that I 100% agree.

Tattoo this on your foreheads Cdn travelers - CDN to USD to MXN is always a bad idea!
Also!!
Exchange only what you think you need to exchange!!! Because to exchange the opposite direction is just as nasty, Pesos to USD etc... if you know you are going to be back soon, or you know somebody in your area going down, then make a fair exchange with them when you get home... \"just my thoughts and opinions\"..... how is that for an exclaimer.... :wink: 8)
