Gulliver was in town today, and I dug up the five pieces of his communicator and returned them to him. I’ll be getting a reward (or two?) in the mail tomorrow.
I walked by the newly-vacated house plot, and I took a last look at all the trash around the area.

I cleaned up the area after taking that picture, although I plan on leaving the garbage can there.
At town hall, I told Tom Nook that I wanted to attend a ceremony. So we headed up to my new ramp to celebrate its opening. Yay!

Apollo was sick with a cold, so I bought him some medicine. He rewarded me with a garbage can…and then told me I deserve it. Thanks a lot.

Once I finished making my rounds, I bought some Nook Miles Tickets and headed to the airport. It was time to find a new villager! I wanted to find a villager who was either a villager that I liked a lot, or a snooty that was halfway decent.
On the first two islands, I found Stu and Rasher. They made for easy decisions: heck no. The third island had Bangle the tiger, and that was a tougher decision. I decided that if she was a snooty, I’d take her. But I googled her and saw that she’s a peppy instead. Sorry Bangle, not today.
Del the gator was on the 4th island, and I was very tempted to take him. He was kinda my buddy in ACCF back in the day, and I have some good memories with him (including some Wi-Fi Moments that I remember fondly). But ultimately, I resisted the urge to take him and kept looking.
Paolo was on island #5. He’s not bad, but if I didn’t take Del, I sure wasn’t taking him either. Ditto for Simon the monkey and Sterling the eagle. I considered stopping at this point and trying again tomorrow (if nobody moved in randomly). But I ultimately decided I’d buy three more tickets and stop at ten if I didn’t find anybody.
However, the 8th try was the charm! I found Eloise the elephant. Not only do I like her, but she’s a snooty! Say hello to Forest’s next islander!

Now Bones is going to be sandwiched in between two elephants! He’ll have Tia on one side and Eloise on the other.
With that settled, I again took flight…but this time, I used my May Day ticket. I tried out the new maze, and it’s a bit more complicated than the one we got last year.

I apparently took a wrong turn and couldn’t advance further. So I had to restart the maze. But on my 2nd attempt, I was able to complete the maze and chat with Rover.

I enjoyed the maze, and I hope they keep adding new mazes for years to come. It’s one of the most unique events in New Horizons.
Before wrapping up my game for the night, I paid Tom Nook 10,000 bells to bury Rizzo to demolish that extra incline that I mentioned yesterday.
I’ll be back with another entry soon! Hope to see you then! Enjoy your May Day Maze!
