This was a hard scan, took me 8 mins to finish. I did not notice the 2,3 pair but what cracked it for me was the x-wing of 2s at rows 2&3 of columns 1&2. That placed the 3 on r3c8 which broke down the puzzle for me. So a similar solve. Thanks for posting!
Enjoy your trip! This one was sneaky needing long range scanning between left and right sides to spot hidden pairs. Heavy pencil marking for this one 11:23 for me. you had the 2-3 pair in row 3 at 6:46 but it's a super hard puzzle to scan well. I had about the same number of pencil marks as you. It does get a bit too much but the only way I could get through it.

Sometimes I feel like I should just recreate these in SudokuPad so that the pencilmarks are easier to deal with.
10:01. Moderately harder than the last few.
It took me 5 minutes to spot that 2/3 pair on row 3. Especially hard to spot without notes. Finished it in a minute afer that. Very sneaky.
we all have this days where your brain is just not braining 😅😅
Moreso since Lilly was born 😅
Pretty devastating one for a casual. What's wrong with using uniqueness?
