What's New at BB's? Chica Prices

I like to bring Travelers Checks.

Just a comment and not a criticism as I know you are a very experienced and organised guy:
In three and a half years of visiting the DR, talking to dozens of guys, and reading hundreds of posts about travel money, etc., you are the first person I have ever heard of using travelers checks. I thought they had gone the way of CD singles and telexes.

But as I said, I know if you use them you have a good reason.

Thanks fellas. I will wait then to exchange the money at some joint there instead of the airport. I was going to do it at POP when I get in. Thanks for watching out and all the info for a rookie going in for the 1st time this Thursday

I always exchange at the bank in the airport as you exit customs where all the cabbies are it is to your left as you are leaving. The exchange rate was always only a few cents difference against posted rates

Most of the exchange houses I deal with will give a better exchange rate for Traveler's checks than they will for cash. Not so with personal checks.

I get about a point less for personal checks.

Weyland you are right I have only seen a couple of other people with Travelers Checks. BB's, Casinos and Banks are about the only places I can really use them. I use ATM machines in the Bank lobbys often. I had a bad experience carrying a lot of cash about 4 years ago and almost lost 3,000 us.
