Surgery went well, but due to being a reconstruction rather than just a repair, I will be in the boot for another 8-10 weeks.I have already been in it for 6 weeks and was hoping to be out of it in 4-6 weeks. It just means I am hobbling around on crutches still and sleeping in the boot is not ideal. Lots of reading and TV watching, which isn't too bad.My wife has been a Saint. Hope your surgery goes well and your recovery is swift and full.

Athos or Porthos?

Mykonos

Don't be scared, they are just guesses

Paros

Yeah, I did it once, we were having so much fun with activities could've done another 7 easily.

It is always sad for those concerned. It also delayed the Carnival ship coming in as they helped with the search and rescue.

That is what I had presumed, but either way, it was to reduce congestion once off the ship.

I think it really depends on the cruise, if it is a more US cetric ship like Royal or Celebrity you will be tipping for each drink anyway, other lines have it included in the price. As others have said, I wouldn't worry about tipping in coins, a note along the way or at the end would be more appreciated but certainly not required. As with a post cruise recommendation to the staff that you want to praise.

Buskers have tap facilities so cards are welcome
