Money exchange

I'm flying home to Canada in the near future. Flying out of San Diego. I have a lot of US and Pesos I need to exchange for CAD $. Has anyone had experiance with the exchange at the airport ?? I've exchanged thru my bank in Canada and it was a rip-off. Is the airport better ??

Nominal exchange as of right now is 1.27395 CAD for each USD. .0624 CAD per peso. Use that as a comparison at the airport.
I generally bring it home and sell excesses to family heading back down or just file it away for future use.
I also generally found airport exchanges were worse than Canadian banks at around 2.5% USD exchange and close to 4 % MXN peso exchange.
