| Interesting points.
I honestly have no idea how much attention tourists pay to variations in the exchange rate; it's never been a factor in my own
decisions to head to Mexico. |
In my case, inflation (north and south of the border) plus a strong peso has made a difference in how, and where I spend my money.
I admit in my forum signature that I could have done better if I tried, but being retired with no debt, and a fixed monthly income, I have been
getting by with a few extra dollars for things like Baja runs.
This trip has been different in that I am making far fewer side trips, far fewer restaurant outings, and shop only as necessary.
Gasoline has been by far my biggest added expense.

Just a current FYI for exchange...
Monday, April 29th at the Banco Azteca ATM in Loreto I received a rate of 16.91 pesos to the greenback.
It's great fishing weather, high 70s, no wind, flat water and a few Yellowtail. I forced a couple Margaritas down me the other night. Life is good!
