With the cold settling in, I sometimes find myself wishing I were on vacation on some nice, warm, tropical islands…

Imagine with me: a cool, refreshing ocean breeze on a blisteringly hot summer day… relaxing with your loved ones enjoying some delicious food… falling asleep in the Airbnb you spent wayyy too much on… and realizing that you have sand everywhere.

I hate sand. It is truly a sensory nightmare. But I do love vacationing! And in the spirit of vacationing, today’s GAPP is a Shimaguni, or Islands!

Rules: Shade a single group of orthogonally connected cells in each region. Shaded groups may not share a bold border. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. Each region must contain at least one shaded cell, and no two adjacent regions may contain the same number of shaded cells.

As always, an example puzzle and its solution are attached to the image of today’s puzzle. Feel free to try the example puzzle here (puzz.link): https://tinyurl.com/2p85x9fz
