Shore earlier this week - and one of my favorite places in the world!

Seeing as page one has concluded, I need a nudge. The wifey is laughing at all all my ideas.

LOL, it is literally an hour into the puzzle. You don’t need a nudge yet.

On the shore with a fun swim to get there. At first, thought for sure I was headed towards an answer that was popping in my head early.... but no! Weekend pub crawl ahead on Saturday (annual neighborhood event). Pretty sure I'll be the only one celebrating a crossword meta victory.

Thank goodness--I am on shore!

After feeling like a DUNce last week, it was nice to catch the mechanism right away. I don't think that I could have handled another kNOCK down drag out fight with the puzzle again. Plus, we have friends coming over for dinner in an hour and I need to get to work!

A nice glass of wine for me. Does the cabana boy do sous chef duties as well?

Bravo! Super nifty puzzle and I'm 100% clickity-riffic on shore.

(I haven't read the thread yet to see if others are saying this, but I can't help but think they set themselves up for a lot of entries of an alternate answer that is far more simplistic and boring.)

Made it to shore. The cabana boy is playing some nice reggae tunes on his ukulele. Coming home to Florida tomorrow. Me, not the cabana boy.
