On Naboo. Landed it, even if not on all cylinders. ;) Now, the droid bartender is mixing up something I can't even pronounce. :twisted:

On the beach on page 1! The cabana boy is such a sweetie! I’m isolating with Covid in my hotel room and he keeps bringing me tapas and cocktails, which he leaves outside the door. Mild symptoms, fortunately.
