Hi, I'm trying to gauge how much money I should change into pesos before I arrive as I want to avoid a trip to the ATM when in Ixtapa. Is $300 about right to have cash for the market, etc.. I see one doesn't tip the GO's, but if I had money left over I could use it to tip local staff, right?

Also, it has been more than 20 years since I've been to Mexico, and that was Puerto Vallarta. It's hard to tell from the weather forecast on line, but I remember feeling the nights warranted a light sweater or long-sleeved shirt. Shorts in the day and pants at night?

One more question...I'm arriving around 4pm on Saturday, Jan 9 from Tokyo via LA and booked the flights myself. Can I still get a ride on the ClubMed shuttle, if I pay? Also, my flight out of Ixtapa (ZIH) isn't until 5pm or so on the following Saturday. Can I hang around Club Med or do I have to leave early in the AM?

Can Club Med exchange yen and if so, is the exchange rate comparable to the bank rate?

Thanks Diana, I guess I need to ask if they exchange yen and if the Club Med exchange rate is comparable to the bank. See you there.

Thanks for the weather tip, Diana, I wasn't confident of the 74 F low temps reported on weather.com. And I'll email my flight info.
