Poor bulldog    :rof:  
 
 I wonder if we should warn customs ahead of time?

Just a few general questions here.
 
 When I last went the arrival and departure tax was paid on departure and was $41 US - is it still the same?
 
 No idea how much cash to take.  I assume everyone will be taking US not Mexican pesos.    As I rarely go to the US these days I don't want to take too many dollars, so I wondered if I can change sterling at the hotel or at a bank somewhere.
 
 Haven't got the time to go searching around on the other channel for info. so just wondered if someone here 'knows the ropes' so to speak.
 
 BTW - am I stupid or what - just booked the PCV for June 14th.  Well outside my travelling time really, but it was a fantastic deal and that will be lot for me until September at the earliest.

I'll be taking US dollars and changing them when I get there.  the CDN dollar is doing quite well these days so it shouldn't be too painful.
 
 I'm not sure about your departure tax Bellagio, I assumed ours was included in our tickets, but not I'm not so sure.  I'll have to do some research.
 
 Flygt, any ideas about the departure tax?     :confused:

Well it has always been 10$US departure tax for me in the past, I assume it's the same      :(    
 
 And I also will be taking US dollars but not changing too much as US money is widely used in Mexico and easier to keep track of the exchange    ;)

Because it only lists those three countries, that are to be paid locally, I would think that the tax is included in your ticket for other places ie. Mexico...
 
 At least that would be my translation of the "aerospeak"

Just re-packed my dive bag.  This is most likely pack 2 of about 20 but I'm getting there!
 
 Did I pack this??  Take it all apart to check.. and repack it again.
 
 
 One week from right now, I'd be at the airport!!!

Good Luck Gambitt
 
 I finally put the locks on my cases so I don't pack and repack any longer.
 
 My carry-on is weighed but not locked and my purse still needs to be packed.
 
 I leave tomorrow for a Training Course so I have to be packed for Cozumel tonight.
 
 I get home Thrusday night and I leave for Toronto Friday.
 
 See everyone at the airport on Saturday around 1:00 p.m.
 
 I will be the one with the big smile and all the suitcases, jejejeje.
