In September my friend and I plan to travel to Mexico and
from there to CA then SA. We will only have 3/4 weeks in
mexico and want to know which places are are worth visiting
bearing in mind a friend will have to fly out of Cancun.
We like to take it easy so i guess cheap places near the
beach is what we are after.
We don't know if we should change our sterling to US$ or
just get sterling travellers cheques, does anyone know if
Sterling is widely accepted.
We plan to go to Guatemala and do a spanish course and then
we want to go to the orphanage in Rio Dulce, has anyone
been there? We were planning on spending 2-3 months there
as consistency is best for the kids.
I would be grateful for any information on any of the above.
Thanks in advance

Bring dollars only..a combination of American Express
travelers checks and cash is best. Other currencies are only
accepted in major banks and the rate is often poor. Better to
take the exchange rate hit at home.
Hi
I have been reading in my rough guide to Mexico that it is
still forbidden for women to drink in cantinas in many parts
of Mexico. Can anyone advise whether they have encountered
any problems with entering these places, especially as I
will be keeping clear of the typical tourist areas!
thanks

If you're flying out of Cancun and like the beach Isla Mujeres is a good place to stay. Hostal Poc-Na is on the beach and is about $3-4 US a night.
