    I love your voice Robert! I love the sound of your voice, your accent, the inflection you place on words, and your humor. You are very enjoyable to listen to. I could listen for hours. Keep up the great videos.

    I found Robert's channel as an RV focus. But his real strength is as a travelogue. He's really terrific and unique.

    One thing I truly enjoy about your videos. They are honest and tell it like it is, without sounding like pure negativity. Its just a small dose of honesty that's refreshing. Very nice

      So glad you like them. I try to keep it real. The fact that I love a place doesn't mean that it doesn't has its flaws.

    We got a kick at around 27:30, the seagull slipping of the railing as you walked by my wife laughed & said, Happy Feet! Then we both cracked up.
    Enjoy your videos! 👏

      @Lloyd Bonafide It was nice back in the 70's before there were all the tourists...I lived there for about 6 months and it was beautiful but went back about ten years ago and it was just an over priced, run down tourist spot.

    • @matthewjackson9615
      @matthewjackson9615 4 роки тому

      Nice area , but a bit too touristy for me. But at least Robert gets about and explores, so I can't complain.

    Really cool you found your childhood address from Cuba. I was adopted into a Cuban family and your voice reminds me of my grandfather. They are all dead now and I miss that lifestyle.

    show the good and the not so good in equal measure.

    My family from Alsace Loraine was shipwrecked on the Florida reefs in 1843. They were taken by lighter boat to Key West and decided to live there. As the family expanded thru generations they moved to Lemon City (Miami) and Coconut Grove. I was raised in the house they built on Bayshore Drive (originally beach front property) and Tigertail Road. Their homes (2) in the PBS show THIS OLD HOUSE were rebuilt and televised.
    Growing up in Coconut Grove in the fifties was really fun. Life sure was different back then. It’s still fun to visit Key West like a tourist.

    I never tire of your Key West videos. Such an interesting, historic place and no one does it better than you. Good to 'see' Ileana enjoying a Mohito with you. Loved the lighthouse..... so glad you climbed the stairs so I wouldn't have to! Always love the chickens. Appreciate your candor regarding the quality and pricing of food & drink. As always your music is icing on the cake.....love it!

    My sister lived in KW for 25 years. I used too take my children down from Tampa every summer for Lobster Fest. What a blast. We would go diving for Lobster and see all the sights and join in all the fun. Everyone is friendly and there is so much to do and see.

    I love that you give honest reviews about places y’all visit and that you’ll get up and leave if no one at least acknowledges you. As you’ve said, small businesses built around tourism are expensive and unfortunately so many of them are staffed by inattentive and/or unfriendly people. Not a wise business decision!

    A floating Tiki Bar! Now I've seen everything. Love your voice, husky, funny, just enough talk and no more. Love the commentary about historical places, the slower pace and the small ambience shots like the rooster and chickens - such a laid back peaceful place. If it were not for tourists, it would be very quiet and sleepy. Love your tours and savoring this one. Keep making them please! I want to know everything about Florida, Miami, and the South. Must visit soon as Covid lifts. I also appreciate the RV tips as I plan to RV down there all the way from CA!

    My family lived here in Key West from mid-1952 to mid-1957. My father was stationed at the Submarine Base. We lived in Old Perry Court. I remember President Eisenhower visited once, they named Eisenhower Drive after him just before he arrived. It was a great place to live, and yes the humidity was terrible. We used to snorkel out on the lee side of the reef, it was great fun. And the fishing was fantastic. It looks way too crowded these days.

  • @joansolomon8667
    @joansolomon8667 3 роки тому

    Wow this reminds me of my home Grand Cayman especially the beach at the ending of the video with the casuarina trees. We have lovely beaches white powdery sands. I'm feeling a little nostalgic watching this video.

    I'm British I've been the keys and Miami back in 2002..what a beautiful place. This brought a lot of memories back, Duvall st. In Key West. The Airforce base. The fantastic houses, I want to go back. Is Fletchers still there and Hard rock cafe? We went in October ..90° day and 80° in the night. Mallory square with the sun going down. Corvettes in a sales room.. brilliant.

    Hello Robert,
    at 35:23 you showed a bottle of IPA. The same one I bought yesterday at a Systembolaget here in Sweden. I'm right now on vacation in Sweden. 😁😁👍👍👍
    Think Systembolaget you know what it is after your visit in Scandinavia in June.

I look forward to watching some of your other Key West and Florida videos. Traveling to, and experiencing all that Key West has to offer, is high on my “Bucket” list of places to visit. Hope to get their soon. Thanks again for taking the time to document your experiences.

    Robert: Thank you so much for this key west video. I haven't been back to FL in many years, but I remember almost everything you showed. I lived in Homestead before and after Hurricane Andrew 8-1992 Bad deal, lost everything I had. Forced to move to TX and that wasn't much better, too many tornadoes LOL. Seriously, I really do enjoy the vacation type story telling. Blessings.

    Love the hop on and off trolley. The pelican almost cooperated with “the fly pelican fly”.

  • @Matt_from_Florida
    @Matt_from_Florida 6 років тому +1

    4:00 I was never aware there was ANY source of fresh *ground* water in the Keys. That's why most every house had a cistern for holding rain water. The old houses which still have them require it to be inspected for safety by the county for it to be used, but like, as long as you know how to keep your mouth shut, how would they know? Yep, cisterns and that _mamá grasa_ pipe from the mainline are all I've heard about lo these many years.

  • @TerryB751
    @TerryB751 6 років тому +1

    Another wonderful video. I guess the best time for a trip to the keys is in the spring with no humidity or chance of hurricanes. BTW the lighthouse there looks like the one at Ponce Inlet and is just as hot walking up the spiral stairs. They have those Fresnel lenses for display in a separate building too. Fascinating stuff.
