Today we are headed up to New Jersey to speak with our friend Paul from the BOGP Clubhouse about his trip with extended family down to the Villas at Disney's Grand Floridan Resort & Spa in July! We discuss how this trip came together (and grew!), the logistics of flying with two babies, making memories in the theme parks, meals at O'hana, Via Napoli, 1900 Park Fare, Citrico's and more! Also, Paul gives a nice review of GEO-82, the new lounge at Epcot! Finally, you have to hear what Paul has dubbed "CFT" or Concentrated Family Time - a great concept I think we all could adopt!

What happens when a luxury resort puts people at the heart of everything they do? In this eye-opening conversation with Brian Montgomery of Sirenian Bay Resorts and Villas, we explore how true hospitality extends far beyond guest experiences to transform entire communities.Montgomery reveals the extraordinary investments Sirenian Bay makes in its staff—from providing air-conditioned housing (unheard of in the industry) to offering free meals prepared by dedicated cooks. "We're not going to have somebody stay in something that we would not stay in," he explains, highlighting how this commitment to employee welfare directly translates to the authentic warmth guests experience.The resort's dedication to craftsmanship shines through its in-house woodshop, where seven skilled carpenters create everything from custom wedding arches to the hand-carved doors adorning each villa. Each room is named after local wildlife, with intentionally curated views and experiences that showcase Belize's natural beauty at every turn.Most remarkable is Montgomery's leadership program, providing leadership training and mentorship to local youth in Seine Bight, while introducing them to potential career paths. His cancer journey profoundly shaped this giving philosophy: "Cancer taught me it's not about me anymore," he shares with raw honesty.From repurposing an old satellite dish as welcome signs to naming Snooty's Bar after a beloved manatee, every detail at Sirenian Bay tells a story—one of connection, purpose, and the understanding that luxury can coexist with profound community impact. Experience the magic for yourself at this Belizean paradise where "creating a return guest on our first interaction" isn't just a mission statement—it's woven into the fabric of everything they do.Thanks for your ongoing support!http://paypal.me/TheROAMiesAlexa and RoryThe ROAMiesPlease subscribe, rate and share our podcast!

Road closures will be in effect in south-east Clare for four months of this year to facilitate a major infrastructural project. Clare County Council has revealed its intention to implement closures along Knockalisheen Road during the construction of the €31 million Coonagh to Knockalisheen Distributor Road. The section of the road between Brennan's Cross and Hartigan's Villas will be closed from August 11th to September 15th while Brennan's Cross to the Moyross Avenue junction won't be accessible from September 15th to December 15th. Local access will be maintained for the duration of the works, and Ardnacrusha Fianna Fáil Councillor Rachel Hartigan believes it'll be short-term pain for long-term again.

Send us a textTiny shares his experience with Gervasi Vineyard and Distillery, his local Canton, Ohio establishment that has evolved from a winery to include an award-winning distillery producing exceptional bourbons and spirits.• Founded in 2008, Gervasi began as a winery and restaurant before expanding to include villas, event venues, and recently a distillery• The Gervasi Stillhouse features both a working distillery and a coffee shop/cocktail lounge in a building resembling an Italian church• Shae Pridemore, Gervasi's master distiller, has released their first Single Barrel Bourbon at 116.9 proof to critical acclaim• Their bourbon recently won runner-up at the US Open Whiskey Championship, taking home five medals in total• The newly launched Distiller Circle club offers members exclusive bottles, barrel picks, quarterly tastings, and special events for $199/year• Gervasi's bourbon has distinctive notes of white raisins, currants, tart cherry and sweet leather with a pot-distilled character• On the Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown rating scale, Tiny scores it 14 out of 18 pointsThe Scotchy Bourbon Boys 5th Annual Bus Tour is now booking for September 3rd, with limited seats available. Contact Tiny to reserve your spot for this special event before Kentucky Bourbon Festival.Hidden in Canton, Ohio, just five minutes from Tiny's home, sits a world-class destination that's revolutionizing the Ohio spirits landscape. Gervasi Vineyard started as a picturesque winery with Italian-inspired buildings, but has evolved into something much more ambitious—a complete hospitality experience featuring restaurants, villas, a spa, coffee house, and now an award-winning distillery housed in a striking building resembling an Italian church.The Scotchy Bourbon Boys podcast takes us inside this local treasure, focusing on Gervasi's spirits program that recently earned runner-up status at the US Open Whiskey Championship. Master Distiller Shae Pridemore (a previous podcast guest) has carefully curated their first Single Barrel Bourbon release—a pot-distilled expression bottled at 116.9 proof that earned an impressive 14/18 on Tiny's Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown scale.What makes this Ohio bourbon special isn't an attempt to copy Kentucky styles, but rather its unique character featuring notes of white raisins, currants, tart cherry, and what Tiny describes as "sweet leather." This distinctiveness perfectly illustrates why emerging distilleries should embrace regional character rather than mimicking established producers. The enthusiasm Tiny shares for this local gem is infectious—he's not just a fan but a founding member of their new Distiller Circle, which offers exclusive access to releases, barrel picks, and quarterly events for $199 annually.Beyond the bourbon itself, the episode highlights how Gervasi has created a complete destination experience where visitors can stay, dine, and immerse themselves in craft spirits. It's a fascinating glimpse into how non-traditional whiskey regions are challenging expectations and creating world-class products worth seeking out. Whether you're planning the Scotchy Bourbon Boys' upcoming bus tour or your own spirits adventure, this Ohio distillery deserves a prominent place on your must-visit list.voice over Whiskey Thief If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFLSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com
