Ashore! That doesn't happen as often as I would like, but it's a delight when it does.

Me too! Yay us!!

On the beach! 🏖 🍹

Feeling fortunate to have solved the MMMM this morning. If I have two metas open simultaneously, I usually end up missing both!

I like the countdown timer! Our days are numbered!

On the beach.🏖🏝🏖🏝

After I sent in my answer, this movie cliche flashed before my eyes:

A dark night in the (jungle, forest, desert, prairie, war zone). A group seated around a campfire.

—“sure is quiet out there.”

— “Yeah, too quiet.”

Pandemonium ensues.

Not really familiar with the Shakespeare plays, but found this meta pretty straightforward so was able to get it right away.

As with most metas, a little bit of liquid inspiration opened my eyes to solve the puzzle. Nice construction. Looks like i'll be having a bit more bourbon this weekend on shore.

Hit the beach on D-Day. There may be a record number of correct answers this time, a regular invasion.
I'll have ein Kölsch in Köln and then on to Berlin for ein schöne Weisse Bier.
