good luck using those travelers checks Sancho. They are more trouble than they are worth. We made the mistake on our honeymoon of only having travelers checks and found many obstacles trying to get them cashed. ATM is definitely the way to go.

Stuff does happen and if I were away from home, I'd want more than one ATM card for the same account, just in case the machine decided to keep one.
As far as I know, no one else can use it without a pin number anyway.
I've had three or four occasions here that the machine didn't give up the money, but the solution is only a phone call or email away and I've yet to come out loser.

I have lived in Baja for a while and use A.T.M. almost exclisively When my Daughter Graduted I sent her to Europe with a hefty Deposit in her account. When she ran out of money as I knew she would It was a simple matter to put more money in har account.:lol::lol:

As of 7:30 AM today (12/13) the OFFICAL exchange rate is:
1 USD = 13.7355 MXN
No matter what the sign says when translated it literally means that YOU can sell THEM 13.59 pesos and they will give you $1US (not a bad deal - if you bought at 13.7355 = 1% proifit); or that if YOU give them $1US THEY will give you 13.30 pesos (= 3% loss if you bought at 13.7355).
