Geekery

We're off on holiday on Sunday - I'm panicking slightly at the huge volume of stuff I have to do before then, but never mind.  I took lunch time off to finish something I agreed to do at the outset.  I'm the AV king for the holiday.  I've been pulling together some movies on my new Shiny and making sure we have a means to watch them regardless of the AV set up in the place we're going to.

One of the parts of my geek kit is a Optima Pico Projector which has already earned it's keep in a couple of meetings where I was able to "whip" it out and have a proper presentation up on a screen.  The rest of the set up is cabling...  with that in place I just did a systems test of all the AV stuff running off my iPad and in a moment off my iPod touch...  generally speaking it's working like a dream.  The DLP projector isn't great in normal light conditions but it's adequate, especially for watching movies as a group - it's certainly a step up from a conventional 28" TV which is the alternative in the Villa we're renting (how a place like we're going to still have a normal TV is beyond me.)

And, in case you're wondering, why would we be taking movies on holiday...  we'll we're old farts.  So there!

In the UK I'd go to my bank or the Post Office and they'd fit me up with the currency of choice.  Where do I get Pesos in Seattle to have with us when we arrive?  We're flying at 6am so I'm assuming that the airport won't have any currency places open, and I'm told that the Mexicans have introduced a visa fee which is to be paid in cash on arrival so I'd feel happier with a small "float" on me.

Any thoughts?
