Hi

I hope someone can advice us. we are off to the Dominican republic next week and the last time I was there we took $ which were happily accepted for tips and paying for trips etc.
I went into the travel agents today and nearly fell over when she said that it was $1.33 to the pound she said that we might be better off getting dominican pesos instead. How much do you tip if paying in pesos, (we would normally tip anything from $1 to $5 on average depending on the service provided ie drinks $1, service at restaurant $3 to $5 etc?) Does anyone know if I just take sterling and exchange it will I get a better exchange here before leaving or wait and exchange it in the Dominican.

I have dollars left over from a previous holiday and I initially thought about using them and just replacing them when we go to florida later in the year but I am now left thinking that it might be wiser to hold onto them as we got them when it was $2 to the £1.
