Viking medical arranged for him to see an orthopedic doctor there so I checked him into the hospital and myself into an all inclusive hotel about 5 minutes from the hospital . He had surgery and we had to stay in PV about a total of 10 days before flying home to DFW . Not the way I planned on spending the first 4 months of the year . now I am hoping that he will be OK to travel in June when we have a Greek Is.es trip with his sister and brother in law. On the plus side , we were home when our first grandchild was born last Saturday 🥰 Oh no!! I am so sorry!! Was it his leg? Arm? I'm glad that they took good care of him in Puerto Vallarta and I sure hope that you are able to do the trips that you have planned for the future. What a disappointment, but I'm glad that he is on the mend. Congratulations on your new grandbaby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when you do cruise again it will be able to be without masks! Congratulations on the new grandchild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a disappointment, but I'm glad that he is on the mend. Congratulations on your new grandbaby! He fractured his humerus in about a dozen places ; not a pretty picture ! Mara from Guest Services was very helpful , sending someone from housekeeping to help me pack, and was a pit bull in dealing with the local port agent and customs officials ( I let them duke it out and told them when they figured it out they could find me at the Living Room bar 🤣) . Yes, this was a major disappointment and going to doctor’s appointments and taking him to PT was not how I planned on spending my time ,but we are thankful that he didn’t hit his head or had any kind life threatening injuries. He still has one good arm to hold our grandson ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed at the size of the medical center and how many people were working there. They were very efficient and I hope never to have to see them again 😉. Viking’s onshore medical company kept in constant contact to make sure all his medical needs were taken car of , and Mara from Guest Services also was in contact to make sure that we were set in the hospital and I had a hotel. Yes, I am hoping by the time of our trip in June that Covid testing entry requirements are gone along with mask wearing but will do what is necessary in order to travel.

Jazmyn49 Posted March 4, 2022 #786 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Would anyone like to exchange a blue jacket size XL for the same in size L? I wore it only once. See Bob in 6073 or leave a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadabout60 Posted March 4, 2022 #787 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It’s really interesting to read the reports of Cádiz, Seville and Gibraltar. As a regular European cruiser these are frequent stops and it’s great to see new perspectives on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldpetrillo Posted March 4, 2022 #788 Share Posted March 4, 2022 After yesterday’s storm, the weather has turned cool/cold. Had we been on our previous itinerary, we would be in India wearing shorts and sweating profusely. Doing a Med cruise in early March is an iffy proposition. We are having a good time but this is not what we signed up for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelerstory Posted March 4, 2022 #790 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Hello all on the Viking Star. We are really enjoying your comments on your trip and learning lots. A question for the Americans on this journey -- how are you handling your 2021 Tax Return due in mid-April? We are on next year's adventure and are wondering how to handle our taxes.

You can file it yourself before you leave home. No need for an accountant. If you have tax filing software you can file it electronically, or if you're using an accountant or tax filing service they can file it electronically. neither requiring a physical signature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaFe1 Posted March 4, 2022 #794 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Just saying what our accountant asked us to do. I’m sure there are many ways to get the extension filed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone uses an accountant so my answer was geared primarily for those who don't and are certainly entitled to get a factual answer as to how to file an extension.

BQEC Posted March 4, 2022 #797 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I believe that an extension does not delay payment. You need to pay at the same time that the extension is filed. Unless the IRS has changed their rules due to Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Avery Posted March 5, 2022 #799 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Geez, talk about thread drift. Aren't we all old enough to have filed taxes for many years? Do it however you want. I simply don't care and would rather get back to the World Cruise.... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD117 Posted March 5, 2022 #800 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Maybe I'm naive, but I always thought that one reason to go on a WC was to not think about taxes -- except, perhaps, to think how all those deductions and loopholes paid for the trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
