So far all I have is a long road of chasing rabbits. So many rabbits.

🏝on shore🏝. Chased a couple of silly rabbits that looked similar/promising but finally found the correct long road to follow.

On my way to Ireland tomorrow for my son’s destination wedding. First stop Dublin and will take a tour of Guinness on Monday!

On Naboo. Fashionably late to the party (It's 2:10 PM Galactic Standard Time). The cantina is crowded, and the droid bartender is telling dad jokes about "chickens crossing the road" ... what he calls "poultry in motion"

On the beach. Nice puzzle - I had no idea at first and then it fell into place.

Almost three hours later and there’s a song that I CANNOT GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

The Guinness factory is definitely worth touring! We took 2 of our kids there years ago. The boy age 16 was not asked for ID but his 21 year old sister was. She was not happy!!
