Well. Just got back from my honeymoon in Cabo. I would have to say that this was probably one of the first relaxing trips that I have taken in quite a long time. Good thing though, with all the travel that I have done in the past, things seemed to go fairly smooth.
Some key aspects worth noting about traveling to and around Cabo and then into the sights and sounds to check out.
1.) Always make sure to have copies of your passport with you as you travel around the city. You never know when you might have an emergency come up and need it.
2.) Notify all of your credit and ATM card providers that you are traveling abroad with the locations that you will be visiting. This will keep them from putting a hold for your protection, but leaving you high and dry without access to your money.
3.) Always withdraw the cash that you feel you will need before travelling. The exchange fees at the ATM's will cost you a fortune.
4.) Do not change your money as soon as you arrive at the airport or hotel. Hold onto your money and then talk to the locals about the closest bank with the best rates. These rates can vary from 5 to 10% at least.
5.) Talk to your hotel about the cab fares to the most common locations (i.e. the mall, marina, old town, etc.). They can give you the standard rates that should be charged and then when you are tryng to get around you can ask the cab driver for the fare up front and know that you are not getting ripped off.
6.) The best deals in the marina are available after the cruise ships roll out. This is usually by 4PM on most days, but some leave a little later. Ask around when you arrive to see what the schedule is for the time that you are there.
