I\'m just trying to get a feel for that first part of the first morning upon arrival, I\'m thinking if we use a cab from the Airport to the hotel (arrival at around 5:30 AM) I don\'t want to be using US Dollars do I? I do have two P20 bills, one P50 and one P100 bill taped to my Phil Map hanging on the wall, I can take them for that short ride. I figure we will be staying at one of the hotels in or near one of the big malls and I can exchange there for the balance of peso\'s.
But even that little P190 isn\'t enough to pay for a cab from Airport to hotel is it. I haven\'t made the hotel reservations yet, I\'m looking at all your recommendations and also looking for one that offers Airport pickup, I just don\'t want to be waiting at the Airport pickup for too long, or I\'ll just get that cab.
Thanks ezArt for the money changer info, I\'ve read enough here to stay away from the street exchangers (in part do to Dylanaz description and adventures of the past) but a good reminder.
I\'ll have sufficient US cash to use for exchanging, the Bank Cards would be used for paying hotel fees only; wasn\'t even thinking of using them for food, I\'ll use peso\'s for everyday expenses.
I\'ve done the same thing on my many trips to Mexico and Canada,
Your all a great help, keep it up...
