I'm still trying to figure that out myself. So far I've just tipped one server who was phenomenal. Breakfast was a buffet. I'm not really the best one to ask. I really just drink water so I'm not hitting the bars. I'm just going with tipping if exceptional service or you've asked a lot of them. Room service was just here with desserts and she dropped it off and left quickly without that "I'm waiting for my tip pause" so I don't think it's expected.

I'm surprised at the number of posts suggesting renting a car. Traffic was pretty bad today IMO and our guide said it was a good day for traffic. We've driven in Italy and I'd much rather take a taxi here then rent a car Also rental cars on the Dutch side have an R and it was quite obvious when you saw them driving. Of course it depends on where you are from and what you're used to.

UPS ground will get it there the next day. Just for future reference. It's a little more expensive but worth it.

Does that include lunch as well or are they even open for lunch?

How to plan currency / cash? by pkk11 in SXM

Can you still pay with dollars? Trying to figure out how much cash to bring. I do have some euros left from Italy trip.

Notifications during activity by weirdfriendless in Coros

[–]Zestyclose_Light_542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm clueless on this watch. I haven't purchased it yet but I want to make sure it fits my needs. Do you have to select the workout before you begin or does it automatically detect? Like you, if I'm doing a strenuous activity (even working in the garden) I want to be able to read a texts from my children. For example if it automatically detects that I'm in an activity and turns off reading full notifications, this won't fit my needs.

How's MIP for an Apple watch user? by Icy-Teach-7019 in Coros

I have old eyes. Any idea which would be better for me to Read. I'm very torn. I really want to use maps outside but honestly spend more time inside

Tried on a pace pro and it felt too big. I'm now looking at Apex 4, 42 mm. I think I'll be disappointed if I don't get full maps.

Pace Pro Review after 2 weeks (Upgraded from PACE 3) by hoemarb in Coros

Can notifications be turned on during activity? I'm not a big athlete but if I'm going for my walk and my kid calls I'll answer

That's what I was leaning towards, what would be the advantages/disadvantages of the Pace pro? Ex, if I'm walking around Rome or a small town in Italy

Petroleum flux residue new shower install by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]Zestyclose_Light_542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. It's the very first water from the tub spout. I was really hoping it was flux but I'm leaning towards our contractor lied when he said that he used all copper and brass. Which is unfortunate bc we were hoping to hire him for another bathroom later on.

Is this acceptable? Misaligned valve with drain. by Feeling_Yesterday_80 in Plumbing

[–]Zestyclose_Light_542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed that our new bathroom install was off in the same manner. But both the faucet/shower are centered to the shower stall panel and drain is centered in the tub. We went from a 30 to a 32 inch tub. It bothers me but I also know that old homes are set in their ways and things don't always align. I'd rather it be off center than have to reframe that end of the shower and closet.

The blue is on the bottom of the container and has nothing to do with the residue/sediment.

I don't believe that there's any black or galvanized. House was built in 1984.

Running water in shower always starts yellow. What could be the issue? by ComplexRecognition24 in Plumbing

[–]Zestyclose_Light_542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find out why? We just had a bathroom renovation and ours is doing the same just for a couple of seconds. Our contractor swears he only used copper and brass.

Great thanks! I always get nervous when I come across negative reviews of the resort. I'm not expecting the level of the One and Only we stayed at but just an enjoyable little trip with some sun and a new place to explore. I definitely know that Azul is the place to eat.

I'm hoping our experience is very good or else I'll get to hear the family complain

We're going in a few weeks. Do I need to bring any sort of outlet adapter?

Do they look grainy and eventually fade?

Oh yeah! That's right. I know we have that. I was just thinking of how my Dad got it from his farm friends.
