The "plundering the village" part is how and why I got's grandkids over there...

Gilligan, behave yourself on the airplane rides and stay away from kids, Karens and tiktok influencers. I don't want to see you featured on the news

Exactly like. Guy that runs the place remembered me too...I got the best room in the place; its the largest and its on the corner so I can observe the drunken partiers at 2am coming from all directions. ;-p

Oyvind stayed over last night at the new Mandal Hotel across the river. It's freaking really nice...nice bar (where we hoisted a few) and nice restaurant. But I still like my old hotel.
