Money?????

Im kinda curious on how much money I should bring with me. I already brought the panamanic card and a la vela card with my hotel package. But i just wanted to get some advice on how much to bring because i don't want to bring too much or not enough.


Origin at Seahaven 15-22 come party

Are you gonna be eating out? You should buy food to cook if you got a stove and microwave to save money.

I'd bring $300 - $400 to spend. I'm bringing $300 but I got a ton of food.

No problem. I actually live in Canton, MI. Just east of Ann Arbor. About 20 minutes west of Detroit.

Besides clubs covers and drinks...where do you need cash?

Restaurants - Stores - Hotel ... I pay all that with credit card

So only 130$ cash for me (can't drink in the clubs anyways lol)

total of about 800$ for the week though, but that's including the 10 tanks of gas for the roadtrip!

dude save your money and use it on a Vegas trip. I've never been to PCB, but if it's anything like South Padre, "ballin" doesn't get you any more *** or fun than if you're cheap. In fact, if you go to the events with the good deals (free beer, etc.), that'll probably be where everyone fun is at, as opposed to some "vip" lounge. spring break is meant to be trashy.

in Vegas, on the other hand, the more money you spend the better the time you have. there, girls and everyone actually give a sh*t if you have table service, so it's much better bang for your buck there. spend $500 instead of $2000, and blow the $1500 on a vegas trip (I recommend Rehab at the Hard Rock pool on sundays...the best party you'll ever go to)

just my two cents

Lol i agree with ya'll thats way too much money to take to PCB. I might get drunk and really regret what i did with some of it. But around $450 sounds like a good amount to take. Thanks playas i really appreciate it

Dave said it perfectly, ballin isnt gonna get you anything more than someone who is cheap in pcb....your gonna have to let me know next time your planning a vegas trip out there, I think we are heading there in May again. My friend and I usually fly to tuscon and meet up with a high school friend then head to vegas for the weekend. My friend's sister is a porn star in LA and meets us there and we usually get vip in all the clubs we go to due to her.........Yea I know someone is gonna speak up and think its a made up story so if you dont believe me look her porn name up...its Kelly Wells....shes from Fulton, IL just like us
