I am concerned about working out the money situation there for 3-4 months. I had told my bank that I was going on a Mexican trip so as to be able to use ATM to withdraw money. Didn't happen. ATM outside WalMart didn't take my card. It didn't recognize my debit card. Called bank, got no where. Had to borrow from tour operator. Don't want problems this time. Any thoughts on how to be certain of accessing my money?
Also, how much Mexican currency should I take for the drive down in spring? What denominations would be best? Several hundred dollars is a lot of paper in pesos!
