does that mean that you are leaving the cabana boy in Seattle - otherwise how would you know what tunes he was playing on his ukulele?

Bob, nobody's in Seattle. I’m currently in Portland, OR and the cabana boy is a state of mind unto himself. You can find him wherever the beach breezes blow, and the torch flames flicker at the tiki bar.Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 8:32 pmdoes that mean that you are leaving the cabana boy in Seattle - otherwise how would you know what tunes he was playing on his ukulele?

Ashore. I'll have a vodka tonic with a twist of lime-- hold the vodka; hold the tonic and loop the twist around my finger. It's been that kind of day....
Stinky Pinkies!

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

On shore! A quick solve for me, followed by a cold Coke Zero. (I overindulged on sangria last night.)

Well, not now -- but I was in Seattle last week and mentioned it so perhaps therein lies the confusion --Meg wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:12 pmBob, nobody's in Seattle.

You know how it goes for those of us in the Northeast -- anything west of the Mississippi is just a blurry lump!
"You can find him wherever the beach breezes blow, and the torch flames flicker at the tiki bar." Love this - like a poetic fairy tale!

On the beach, which I think will be more crowded than last week.

I haven't found the prep gets any "better," just "easier" since you know what to expect and you say, "Yeah, gotta do it." At this point I mostly object to the instructions about avoiding whole grain foods, nuts, seeds, salads... all the stuff I eat!
And don't tell my kids I'm posting about colonoscopy prep. They'd make a snarky comment about how I must be older than they thought. It would be worse than when I talk about the music I like from 10 years ago. (We won't mention what happens when I say I'm listening to the Woodstock concert recordings...)

🏖 Solved in under 15 minutes. A fun idea but I wish it had been a bit harder to suss out.
