New Island, new ideas. Choosing a map wasn't a huge deal for me, my main criteria being that resident services and the airport were close together. I ended up with a green airport (somewhat unfortunate I guess, but I won't complain), cherries, and I think the native flower is cosmos. My first villagers are Flo and Antonio.

Stuck at 200 nook miles so calling it for today, might fish later for bells- gotta get a head start on that 98,000 debt
Day 2-
