If it's 10 letters, I'm on the beach too.
I found a ten letter city that also uses letters from Utica and Al Sisti

Ashore!
Glad I came here before submitting. I solve the grid electronically on my phone and only print it if/when I get stuck. I had a 10-letter word and was trying to figure out how to turn it into a major world city.

Have only printed out the puzzle, but wanted to say congrats to Al. That's terrific! More later. Hopefully with a solve.

The PDF version says the answer is "a ten letter word." The electronic version says it is a "major world city."
Who you gonna believe, Bob cruise director or your lyin' electronic version?

Ashore as well. About the same difficulty as last week's IMO but that one didn't jump out at me. This one did. Streak = 1.
Best of luck everyone.

Yes!
Wikipedia does list one such 10-letter city -- a world city in the sense that it really is in the world and not somewhere else. And Yma Sumac is a famous, dare I say world-famous, singer.

I’m on the beach and sooooo late to the party. It’s the cabana boy's fault. He's having relationship problems and needed to talk for awhile. This puzzle is amazing!

On shore! Fun puzzle and first time in a long time that I was confident enough in my answer to declare that on the first day!
