When are you leaving and do you have a smartphone? There's an app called TripIt. I scanned all passports and travellers cheques as jpegs, then you can attach to your trip in the app. I have private taxi numbers, bank/credit card ph numbers, consulate, hospitals, restaurants etc all saved to my trip. SO handy for anything you may need. If your smartphone goes missing all you have to do is borrow a computer to log on for all your emergency info.

I just returned Sat. I did get more bug bites than in Feb. there was a drought in Feb. and now after rainy season makes sense that it's more of an issue. My bites were mostly on my legs/ feet so likely sand fleas from the beach. I didn't see any bugs in the room. Opened the window louvers during the day and closed them before sunset.

I used the Scotiabank ATM at Time square. Don't know what the exchange rate was but hear it's one of the best methods. I cashed some travellers cheques at the cambio across the street - its hard to read the faded sign but it's right in front of Bourbon Beach, close to a red coca cola sign hanging along the road. Exchange rate there was 88 - 1.
