Money In Mexico

I leave in two weeks, I will be in Tijuana with Dr. Kelly. So, not to be too nosy up in everyone's business, but can everyone who already went give me an estimate of what amount of "extra" money I should be bringing. We will be staying one extra day due to unavailable flights on what would have been our normal departure date .

I will be traveling with my husband(so there are two of us) He is going to want to eat that I know for sure. Did anyone feel well enough to go out and do anything while they were there? Go get a massage, go shopping in the market, anything ?

Also, I read somewhere people talking about tipping the hospital staff ? Is that correct and if so what is the standard percent ? Sounds odd I know, but I hate bad tippers and just because it is not the norm here in the states does not mean I am going to be rude if it is the standard there .

I knew I was not imaging it (although I was starting to wonder )! The conversation about tipping hospital staff ( nurses) is under . What To Take - Modified For Mexico? Above and beyond that though, what about Omar. Sounds like from everyone he has been of service to he is the one I should look forward to tipping .

Geez , sorry bout the bold. Not sure what I hit wrong this time :D

You only need money for your medications if your doctor does not provide them to you which should be no more than 50.00 and they take USD so you don't have to worry about getting pesos. You won't have any other expenses.
