Love Love Love Key West. I was born there, moved to Missouri when Dad was discharged from the Navy; went back to KW for my 60th birthday. I would live there if I could. Alas, I must get my KW enjoyment watching your videos. Thank you so much for posting.
Great look at Key West and Hemingway's home. Man, I got to get out there some day. I've read most of Hemingway's books. I think if I went to one of his homes I'd be overwhelmed. The penny story was a great insight into his tumultuous soul. He could be a miserable SOB but he was a genius writer whose insights into humanity will hopefully be passed onto every generation. Hope he never gets cancelled.
Ahhhh... so nice to be back down there for a little while, even if it is only through the eye of your camera. I gotta get back down there now that things are beginning to open up again!
Thanks for taking us on a tour with you. It was nice to see some nice weather in comparison to the snow and ice we have here in Wisconsin. I always enjoy the tour videos. Take care man and be safe out there.
Wow, this is my favorite Key West video, Jay! Loved the polydactyl cats at Hemingway’s and all your fun facts about everything you visit! ♥️♥️looking forward to your next project.
Thank you again Jay for another great Key West video... We used your March 2020 video for lots of stuff, and we'll be back again this June and will use this video for reference as well... Loved your restaurant suggestions in the March 2020 video, and if you have more of them, please feel free to make a video on places to eat while in Key West ;) Great job as always my friend ;)
I live in Key West. You reported it all right...next time you’re in town you should hang with a local! ( me ) Wear your masks , stay six feet apart and enjoy your stay. You should interview our Mayer!
How about a walk through one of the old cemetery’s. Another awesome video. Man that pie looked good. Thanks for the video my friend. Will be waiting for more
Go see Robert the doll at the East Martello museum! Def gotta show everyone the night time scene at Mallory square too!! So enjoyed this video, love Key West!!
Maaaannnnn, I am so jelly!!! LOL I LOVE Key West and have been wanting to go back with my own scooter!! Thanks, you made me lol a couple times! WISH I WAS THERE!!! ha! Soooooon!!!
Loved your video. Was in Keys 12/17/19 til 3/17/20 when every non-resident had to leave. In FL almost 30 yrs. and first time in Keys. Fav. is Islamorada & Marathon. More livable and that's my plan. There's so much more for you to highlight in KW, and hope you will. In my 3 mos. I think I found every nook & cranny worth exploring, but probably missed something. Much to discover historically. (Even checked out the KW cemetery.) Enjoyed driving around KW at 3/5am, especially Duval St. where I could easily see the art galleries, shops, etc. and meet & converse with several resident artist & writer "night owls". Hope you return there soon to explore more (the slave burial ground at one of the two beaches) and Fort Zachery Park, the historic Forts on Roosevelt, and maybe the Truman Little White House. Found Duck Key and Key Colony lovely residential locations, albeit pricey. Nicer than Port Royal in my current Naples. Need to return to Bahia Honda State Park & Big Pine Key, too. All in all, feel The Keys are THE BEST OF FLORIDA. LOVE THE KEYS' MANTRA OF "WE ARE ALL ONE HIMAN FAMILY". ENJOY!
I have three years before I retire early and move to the greater Tampa area. Key West is on my places to visit after moving. Thanks for this video, really enjoyed it.
Love Key West so much! Last time we went was exactly a year ago. Great drive from Tampa Bay! You should hit the Waterfront Brewery (only brewery in Key West) and go to Pepe's Cafe (near the harbor) for breakfast!
I’m going first of March, we got $50 round trip tickets thru JetBlue ! That’s right.. $50 from Nashville to Ft Lauderdale roundtrip! If anyone has some time off, plane tickets are cheap right now!
stumbled across your videos today. love visiting key west. grew up in tampa now living in cleveland but still vacation down there frequently. keep the videos coming! love jeepers creepers too
Haven’t been to the Conch Republic since 1998, but will be back in June. Can’t wait!!! Stop by the KW Fire Museum and take some footage if you have time, please. Thanks for the tour. Many happy memories.
Always fun to spend some time in Key West, glad that things are open now, looks like you had a great time, thanks for the wonderful videos, stay safe my friend.
Key West is such a beautiful place, I was never there and I would like to go sometime in the near future! I would be in heaven with all those cats, I love cats! Thank you so much for the video!
I've never been this far south. In fact, the farthest south I've been in the US is Port Saint Lucy, FL. Actually, Corpus Christi, TX may beat that by a little bit. I had no idea what Key West had to offer. I'd like to visit it some day. Thanks for the video, Jay!
Thanks for the tour of key West via scooter. We were down before the pandemic. We took that conch train. Very crowded. I think we were there in November. Check out the lighthouse, Henry Flagler museum and reason key West is on the map: one of the best deep harbors in the world.
That was so cool to see Hemingway's home and all his unique cat descendants. This past summer I remember when one of the many hurricanes this season was heading near the Keys a bulletin was put out that the cats were safely inside. I guess you can tell that I am a cat lover-I have 4. I also am a fan of Hemingway's books. I think I read them all when I was in school.
Great video thanks. We were due to come to Florida in July 2020 from the Uk and we’re going to the keys. Obviously that didn’t happen. We are rescheduled for this year but I’m not even sure that will happen 😢 surprised to see that there were people not wearing masks. I thought they were a requirement inside and outside in the keys?
Visited KW for 1st time Jan 2018. Weather was perfect. No car needed. Grabbed ubers or walked everywhere.1st night did sunset celebration in Mallory square. Grabbed a piece ( everyday for 4 days) of the highly addictive Kermits key lime pie. Did Hemingway house tour. His life Was way more fascinating than I knew. Visited Mel Fisher museum also very cool. And went on my 1st helo ride out into the gulf. It was an incredible time.
Thanks! I was there right after Christmas 2020 - good times. A couple other places I visited or walked by: Fort Zachary Taylor, Key West Cemetery, Truman Little White House, Basilica of St. Mary. There were nice sunsets from Mallory Square/Sunset Pier. Also had a lot of fun on Fury's "Commotion on the Ocean Sunset Sail" which had live music.
In the mid sixties I spent some time at the Navy base in that area, Is there much information about that? I didn't spend any time in town then, wish that I had done that. Awesome video, I especially liked the part about Hemmingway's home.
Such a fun adventure! I really enjoyed going with you to the Conch Republic while I had my coffee this morning. 😊☕ Happy adventuring TJ! Stay safe out there! 👍 ~ Kristine
Yup, not far from Cuba at all it's why Key West historically had strong Cuban presence since the 1860s. Once the richest city in FL because of the cigar industry.
So True , we have a U.S. Naval Base in Cuba with a naval hotel lodge , I've never had any desire to travel to Cuba a wealthy comrade of mines in California asked if I would go to Cuba with him ? I agreed to do so for him then Covid-19 came along so I have not even visited his ranches in Goa India and Mumbai India one never knows what life changes will come along and cancel and change life plans made with friends and comrades . Many Australians are stranded in India as Australia will only allow a set number of passengers to fly to Australia per week it's said at the going rate it may take two years for them to be allowed to return home what a mess to be trapped in with money running out.
I love the channel and how you do things I now have 3 channels of this variety. TheDailyWoo, Carpetbagger, and Tampa Jay. Thanks for the content.You have 1 more fan for life.
Thanks so much those two others I look up to and they are how I discovered UA-cam.. now good friend. I’m happy to hear you are enjoying the channel thank you so much
my wife and I were there a few months ago and riding a scooter around was the best thing we did besides walking around Duval St. no need in taking the train with the loud tour guide engineer to see the sites, rent a scooter or cart
You must've been there between 2-4:00pm yesterday cause Gabrielle Wright was playing @ Captain Tony's! I'm part of the Conch Clan on his Wright On The Rock channel!! Join us Jay. Whalburger's opened last June. It was being built last January when I went too. I went to Hemingway's House last year but didn't see the penny! Must've been too many people when I went. I bought a Hemingway House keychain. I was in the very back end of his pool last year, sitting on a chair. It was so surreal & beautiful! Where did you stay in Key West?
HEY, HEY, TAMPA JAY WHAT'S UP I THOUGHT THAT THIS ONE WAS A PRETTY COOL VLOG ! AND WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE STARTED WATCHING YOUR OLDER VIDOES TO GET UP TO DATE ON YOUR CHANNEL WELL STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS
We just got back from a Key West this last Tuesday and we already want to go back! We drove from Miami, highly recommend this to others if your going to the Keys, there is a lot of cool places to stop on the way!
We will be there the end of March - looking for ourdoor eating places, don't want to be in a resturant during covid! How many have outdoor seating? Rookie here.
my husband and I went for a 4 day weekend with the children... my daughter was 2 at the time she continue ask her dad & I to go back... how she remember 😆
Thanks for watching everyone. Stay safe and awesome out there!
Your very welcome sunshine

Going next month for our first time. Glad I stumbled across your video!
Great video Jay! Love seeing the sites around town.

Thx for showing the keys. I've always been interested in the keys. I plan to go once everything settles down more with the virus...
I live in Key West. You reported it all right...next time you’re in town you should hang with a local! ( me ) Wear your masks , stay six feet apart and enjoy your stay. You should interview our Mayer!
Great video TJ. Check the smallest bar if you still there 😀👍✌
How about a walk through one of the old cemetery’s. Another awesome video. Man that pie looked good. Thanks for the video my friend. Will be waiting for more
That’ would be awesome maybe someday upon one of my visits I’ll have to do that thanks Kevin
Beware that the cemetery closes right at sundown and they WILL lock you in... they don't check for living occupants!
Thank you for the tour!
Thank you joining me Janice
Great video, thank you. I've always wanted to go to Key West. Maybe your tour will encourage my husband to get traveling....I hope!
YJ had the square headlights. Still...it's very cool to find that those trains have a Jeep underneath the exterior! Thanks for the info.! ❤
Wow, so many cats at Hemingway's! lol Thanks for the tour around Key west! I enjoyed watching this.
Go see Robert the doll at the East Martello museum! Def gotta show everyone the night time scene at Mallory square too!! So enjoyed this video, love Key West!!
I’ve been wanting to see that doll thank you Allyson if I don’t see him this time definitely next time :)
Amazing tour! I’ve never been, but on my bucket list. 👍💕😊
Great tour,
Interesting video. Loved the Hemmingway house and its history. Sure hope those cats are "fixed".
Haha thank you Arleen
Wow, that's a trek down there, and my wife and I rode those same scooters when we went there! Of course, that was 35 years ago. Not much has changed!
Can’t wait to go back next week!
Oh man that looks fun!!!!!
I second that 😎
It’s a great time down here thank you buddy
Maaaannnnn, I am so jelly!!! LOL I LOVE Key West and have been wanting to go back with my own scooter!! Thanks, you made me lol a couple times! WISH I WAS THERE!!! ha! Soooooon!!!

Found Duck Key and Key Colony lovely residential locations, albeit pricey. Nicer than Port Royal in my current Naples. Need to return to Bahia Honda State Park & Big Pine Key, too.
All in all, feel The Keys are THE BEST OF FLORIDA.
LOVE THE KEYS' MANTRA OF "WE ARE ALL ONE HIMAN FAMILY".
ENJOY!
I have three years before I retire early and move to the greater Tampa area. Key West is on my places to visit after moving. Thanks for this video, really enjoyed it.
Loved this! Makes me want to go there!
Thanks Jacquie it’s a fun little place hope you get to go someday
Id love to visit there one day, until then thanks for the video.
Love Key West so much! Last time we went was exactly a year ago. Great drive from Tampa Bay! You should hit the Waterfront Brewery (only brewery in Key West) and go to Pepe's Cafe (near the harbor) for breakfast!
Four years ago I followed US 1 as much as is possible all the way to the end in Kent Maine. Nice trip
i have not been to KeyWest since 1993. // thanks for the upload
Looking forward to this. I'll be in Key West late next month. Hopefully it's a lot of fun!
I’m going first of March, we got $50 round trip tickets thru JetBlue ! That’s right.. $50 from Nashville to Ft Lauderdale roundtrip! If anyone has some time off, plane tickets are cheap right now!

I've never been to key west befor amazing video 😁 and so many cats! I just wanna pet them lol
Careful! Some of those cats have attitudes. I have seen more than one visitor embarrassed by a hissing angry cat when they went to pet them.
TAMPA. BAY /////// all the way !!!!! Super bowl !!!!!!🙌🙌🙌😍
Haven’t been to the Conch Republic since 1998, but will be back in June. Can’t wait!!!

We rode there from Canada in Late Jan. 2020 and loved it !! Good to see what it’s like in 2021.
I've never been this far south. In fact, the farthest south I've been in the US is Port Saint Lucy, FL. Actually, Corpus Christi, TX may beat that by a little bit. I had no idea what Key West had to offer. I'd like to visit it some day. Thanks for the video, Jay!

Good to see people out and about. A scene from 007 License To Kill was filmed on the balcony of the Hemingway house. Fins Up!
Where Bond was stripped of his LTK Much ahead my friend 😉
I suggest you check out the Bloodline location from the Netflix show. It’s located in Isla Morada. We went and it’s beautiful.

Hes at the east martello museum. Robert the doll has a very interesting story your subscribers will like 👍
BEST Key West video
Always Fun to watch your videos :-) I didn't know you're allowed to drive a moped without a helmet... Keep care of your head, buddy.
Thank you! Yes, helmets are optional.
We’ve been there on Carnival Cruise Ships and other Cruises. Always had a good time. If the Cruise Ships we’re running it would be a lot busier.
I would have to pet all the cats. 😻
Have fun down there
Thank you Kyle

Yes we are! Hope to see you and Jay come by some time!
@@thekeywestbutterflynaturec2930 Would love to stop by next time I’m in town :-)
Thanks. I subbed. Did the scooter rental place have free parking?
I don’t think they did but they do offer free shuttling to wherever you need to go on the island. Sunshine Scooters thank you my friend
Was in Key West last year for the 2020 Fantasty Fest in October but no parade.
