Headed To Cabo...Need Some Advice

[dpbillsfan]

The wife and I are going to Cabo the week of July 15th-22nd for our ten year wedding anniversary and staying at the Crowne Plaza. I know several of you guys have been down there and I was hoping someone could share some advice on what to do and what not to do.

A trip to the cantina is #1 priority, but other than that any helpful hints would be much appreciated.

Is this price list from the Cabo right??????????
No way am I going to go there and eat.

Those dollar amounts are in pesos.
So, if it says $250, it's probably $25. It depends on what the ratio is. I went to Mexico in September and it was about 10/1.

All prices are in pesos and the exchange rate is usually 10:1 (or close to that). Don't worry...it freaked me out the first time I went down there too. Just remember if you're paying with a credit card, the receipt will say $550.00, which is really about $55USD. You need to tip in pesos, so if you left an $8 tip, you'd write it as $80.00 (crazy, huh?). Have fun!!!
