Welcome back. The Beekeeper crew is now back from vacation, freshly rested and ready to provide you with your weekly dose of crossword satisfaction. This week’s (slightly delayed) offering is inspired by our adventures in travel — don’t ask: it wasn’t pretty — and was mostly written while in transit. It has, as usual, been reviewed by our esteemed panel of judges, and rated as a Wednesday on the venerable NYT difficulty scale.
As our returning visitors may have already guessed, this puzzle is available in the usual two formats:Â either as an Across Lite file or a printable PNG image.
