I like to bring a few adjustable mattress straps to hold the beach towel in place just clip around the back of your lounger. No more towels blowing off down the beach.

Your personal item tote should always have a zipper. Things can drop out of that open top under the seat or in the taxi or you could be pickpocketed.

@DougSladeStuff2 жыл бұрын
Wow! Those floaties look awesome, gettin some for sure!!! Sunscreen in a stick!!?? Cool!!! Didn't even know they had that. Another good tip to go with paying tips in local currency is to use local currency everywhere you go.. I found that to be the cheapest way to pay. The exchange you get everywhere is to their benefit and not yours, of course. So paying with pesos is way easier and easy on the brain converting too, lol. Great video, cheers!!!

I am going to use mexican pesos for what I have left but will also be bringing USD. I saw some pointers about new bills (my local bank has mentioned since the pandemic they have not really received new bills). I am worried the older smaller change will not be sufficient due to not being crisp and some with some ink markings or someone writing on them.What are your thoughts?

Hi! Masking is still required in public areas, but other than that you should be fine. No negative test or proof of vaccination required to enter Mexico. To go back home to Florida, you will need a negative viral test (rapid antigen) within one day of travel, so basically the day before departure.

It’s really rude to tip in foreign currency. Those people work long hours six days a week. It’s a real hardship for them to spend their day off standing in the long lines at the bank to change the money. If you give them pesos, they can use it right away, anywhere. If you go off the resort, you’re see the long lines at the banks.
