But what did you think about, you know, the overall experience on Lookout as compared to Castaway?

0:05.1

Yeah, I think if you're comparing both places without a Cabana, we preferred Lookout.

0:30.1

Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel.

0:33.0

And Sam, I'm going to do something a little different at the top of this show.

0:35.1

We are going to read a listener review. But, you know, the only reviews we can see on Apple

0:38.3

podcast ourselves come from our U.S.-based listeners, but we get reviews from folks outside the

1:37.1

Quebec Cibre.

1:37.3

Quebec Cue, Ryan.

It reads Best DCL Podcast podcast.

1:42.1

I'm going to butcher the French here, even though I took 12 years of it.

1:45.2

It's the most podcast on the crocierge.

1:49.5
