Ashore! A clever one where I didn't see ANYTHING and then suddenly the idea emerged.

Guinness me. In my mind Mike’s puzzles have now become the gold standard for metas. No one is better. This puzzle was a work of art.

Done. And amazed I was able to solve this one so quickly. Solutions usually don't hit me till at least Saturday.

Ashore unbelievably early. I've never had to not wait in line at the tiki bar. I don't even know what to do. Um, guess I'll crack open a Firestone Molcha Dolce Nitro Stout I bought for this weekend. This is so weird.

On Naboo. Made decent time while traveling at warp speed (Galactic Standard Time).
I'll have whatever
@vandono is having....
[btw, I'm hoping to attend the ACPT this year (end of March) and looking for someone to share accommodation or a local willing to let me crash their couch! Please PM me if you're interested. Thanks.]
