Whats the preferable currancy for taking to Mexico, local (Peso?) or US dollars....? Not sure what I should be ordering....

Yes, going there soon, but not looking for "worse ....thread eva" comments...

Thanks in advance....


ps trust the £ to fall against the dollar so much in the last few weeks....

OP, take some high SPF cream - you wouldn't want to get 'sun-dried', would you ?

I was there in 1989. My then wife bought a real racoon hat. Like Davy Crockett wore.

HTH.

Holiday. 5* all inclusive. Cant wait to see what the Sun looks like. Really hoping there'll be no Hurricanes...


Aparantly according to the papers holidays in mexico are falling in price almost daily due to the 'doom and gloom'. So i'll lose out on the exchange rate and the late booking price.

Oh well, such is life.

Thanks

Yes, but if everybody is skint maybe they will be a bit cheaper this year. Then again, maybe not. I've just GOT to get away this crimbo - long haul. Thailand, Cuba, Mexico...anybody else got any suggestions?

I'm thinking the same as well, Christmas getaway somewhere nice. Always fancied ranching in Montana, be a cow girl for a week or two.

Though I think by the time work has finished with me come Christmas time I might just need to flake out on a beach for a few days first.

I might be movin'
to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss

Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I just might
grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else . .
. but then, on the
other hand Iwould

Keep the wax
N' melt it down
Pluck some Floss
N' swish it aroun'

I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top
(that's why I'm
movin' to Montana)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss
tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an'
all nite an' all
Afternoon . . .

I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to
strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to
strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/VIo ]

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it
is a little silly,
folks
I don't care if you think
it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think
it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An' ride him all along
the border line

With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted
tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night

And then I'd
Get a cuppa cawfee
N' give my foot a push . . .
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over the Dennil Floss Bush

N' then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)


So sorry, I'm a bit bored.
