We would like to know several things, in preparation for a first visit in November. Many of you could probably provide advice for these novice questions:
1) How much cash should we bring? Do we need to convert it to colons?
2) Do most places take Major Credit cards (i.e. Mastercard, American Express, etc...)?
3) Should we rent a car or hire a driver/car? Pros / Cons??
4) How difficult is it to get ground transportation from/to the airport (if you don't speak Spanish yet)?
5) Where are some of the "must see/experience" places that we need to visit on our one week visit?
6) Are there any pitfalls that we may not consider, but you who live and travel there are well aware of?
I aooreciate any advise we can get, as we want to make the most of our trip.
Thanks
Bill and Jean Cahill
