Strange thing. We drove 10 hours yesterday, to see the kids. On the way we discussed THE VERY TOPIC OF THIS PUZZLE. So the answer came fast.
Does that mean you are in my neck of the woods?

On shore. Meg, could you please have your cabana boy bring me a margarita?

Plenty of rabbit holes with this one.

Sure. Be sure to compliment him on his Speedo.

Big thanks to the people done at 4:25 for preventing me from visiting one rabbit hole that would be basically impossible to put together an answer for in that little amount of time...

Not a clue! I'm sitting here laughing at my ineptitude. C'mon, somebody post an inadvertent spoiler for me!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I gave myself a hint with a misstep on an answer. I was solving in ink on a printed copy, so the correction drew my attention. I'll explain more Sunday night.

Meanwhile, does the tiki bar have any 22A the Elder?

4 years ago you were the QUEEN of the Spoiler Police!! Which is surprising because you are such a sweetie. You’re like a meta cheerleader!

I think I just finished the last one, but there is some Utica Club.

I'll admit to seeing some of the spoilers posted here before they were deleted, but I don't think they led me to do anything I wasn't already doing. My problem was that something I thought was a part of the answer in fact was not.

I have a feeling this one might be a slog. Unless I've got the first step wrong, which is quite possible...

Not so easy, required some concentration, but I got it, with a definite click, happily on the beach.

Ashore. Looking for something special to celebrate a four week streak (a record for me). Hmm, that Courvoisier looks good.

Ashore! I missed both the Guinness and the spoilers. Will look forward to the post-game on Monday.
