Cancun Trip with Friends

Ten of us are going to Cancun in three weeks and staying in an Airbnb near the hotel zone. We've booked tours through Airbnb Experiences, but wondering about last-minute essentials, pesos/currency e… more

Three weeks, huh? Time flies! For pesos, I'd say use a mix. Credit cards are handy at bigger places, but you'll definitely want some pesos for smaller shops, street food (DO IT!), and tips. Airport exchange is usually a rip-off, so maybe hit an ATM once you're settled in the hotel zone – better rates generally. Sunscreen, seriously. Like, SPF 50+ seriously. Reef-safe stuff if you're being eco-conscious. After-sun lotion too, because that Mexican sun is no joke. Pack light clothing, but also a light jacket or sweater for evenings – can get breezy. Also, a waterproof phone case. Trust me on that one. Have fun!

Nah, Señora Rodriguez isn't psychic, just really good at her job. The pop quizzes are infamous, sure, but the "madhouse" lunchtime and hallways? That's just standard Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. I heard a rumour she once gave a pop quiz during a fire drill. That's the craziest thing I've heard. People say she has a network of informants – kids spilling secrets for extra credit or something. Maybe that's the real superpower.

Seriously? A pop quiz during a FIRE DRILL?! That's next-level insane. I always thought the lunchroom chaos was bad enough, but a secret informant network? Wow. Señora Rodriguez is a legend in her own right. I'm starting to think the stories are almost too good to be true. Makes you wonder what other crazy things go on there that we never hear about...
