Knowing you through your videos Robert your advice is always appreciated. I agree with you that to be around where people are disrespectful is not worth the hassle, it makes for bad company. As always though a great video with a view. Thanks Robert.
Thank you! Love your videos! Been singing your theme all day; it helps beat the winter blues up here in Virginia. Very reasonable breakdown of what's what.!Invaluable, really. (Won't catch me on Fiesta Key, for instance! Life is too short to suffer rude people.) Happy trails! 🚐
The beautiful Keys. Bad place to stay, oh well, mark that one off the list. Great to watch you.
With so much effort and forth right comments about what to beware of,,, How can you not really enjoy this guy. I stumbled onto him looking for travel videos. Man what a nice find. Have to look into joining his mailing list etc.
Thanks Buddy
Thank you!
i lived in Islamorada in 74-75 and prior to that had a terry travel trailer and use to stay in fiesta key/sunshine key area - yea things have changed - not always for the better though - way to many people down there now
Once again, great video....and thanks for sharing your honest opinion about the Fiesta Key RV Park......I've learned my lesson through your experience!
Great video, plenty of nice shots. I like how you investigated things, and gave your honest review =)
Great upload! Thanks for sharing this wonderful travel experience. Gorgeous Florida Keys! I love enjoy your videos and I use them as a reference whenever I travel. I visited LA recently and your California full travel video was very helpful. Thanks. Hopefully you can do the full video for the Pacific Coast Highway roadtrip, California route 1 in the future. I'm told it's a great scenic roadtrip.
+Ronnie Matrix Hey, thanks! California route 1 is wonderful.
I love your videos of the Keys. I was born in Miami in 1942 and fished the Keys with my Dad till The late 50's. I then moved to GA. I can't believe how it has changed. I love the drone shots. That is what they were made for. I hope people will use them wisely or the Government will make it hard to own one. Thanks for all you work. It is a great video. I am sure I will view this many times
+Henry Fleming Thank you very much.
I love Florida it is my favorite destination
Gracias Robert, me distes un hermoso paseo by the Florida Keys..
Por nada. Gracias a ti.
Thanks for the video, I too have been traveling to KW for twenty years and not stopping to see the sites on the way down. My nine hour trip from Jax, I stop in the middle of the Keys for gas and lunch. Thanks for the tour of things to do on the way down.
+Roy Vannoy You do have a long journey compared to mine. I'm going to make it a point to explore more of the keys. Every time I find something interesting.
You know, I watched this over a year ago, and never watched again. But now watching this it's very interesting and the animals and their habitat are very clean and pretty. Very, interesting video. And it's got that wonderful editing, narration and Traveling Robert flair. ;) 90,000 plus already... Go baby, go.
Unbelievable, the parrot really could ring 5 times the bell after the 11 minus 6 question 😂👌🏽
I enjoyed the parrots show, dolphins, sea lions, ( not sure an African lion can hold a balloon on his nose haha)
great views, great narration, you are the best Robert!
Waiting on a settlement, then I am heading to Florida and I am definitely coming to the keys this trip. We came in January of 2018 and visited Orlando and got to see NASA and Cocoa Beach, planning on relocating, but we are going to absolutely make it a point to see the Keys this time.
Gorgeous, that this famous railway bridge will be soon part of GTA 6 🥰
Hi Robert! Thanks for this latest video, which seemed particularly good to me. Always good to see some real sun when viewing from over here in the UK ;-) Any plans to do a short video summarising you future travel plans? Always good to hear about these.
Thanks. Yeah maybe I should do one of those. The thing is there are no real plans yet but maybe I'll do something spontaneous.
We're planning a trip from out of state to Florida and also visit the keys. By far, your videos has been the most helpful. I especially appreciate your honest reviews and details of places you went! You've capture amazing sunsets at the beach. Just awesome videos! Please make more videos of the Florida keys! Just gave you thumbs up on all your Florida keys videos! Great job, will subscribe!
Thank you so much. I plan to go back to the Keys later in the summer and fall.
Your videos are a great representation of the keys, love every one of your videos, keep it up Robert.
+J CaaM Thanks! Love the Keys.
Another great video, Robert..Notice how the sun looks just to be behind the clouds at 17:25 minute mark..... Thumbs up!...
+CarlosGunX Thanks!
Enjoyed the Flashback. Unfortunately Pine Island doesn't look the same since Ian but it will come back!
another great video!!! Thanks Robert.
thats the best show ive ever seen even better than sea world on youtube because ive never been there before but thats sweet
I was surprised at how good The Theater of the Seas actually was.
yes
Great video. You rock Robert
Good one, Robert. Thanks for the heads up on Fiesta Key.
+bill baio Thank you!
Seeing the Tiki Bar in that state is so sad. I remember not even being able to get into the place cause it was so packed and music and the bar being jammed with people wanting a rum runner. 😢
Hit St. Augustine. That's my home town. Love it. You will too. Best town in Florida and oldest town in the US.
Liking your videos btw. Great job filimgnand editing. Very helpful and fun to watch.
I am in Oregon now. It's to rainy. But is worth the visit in summer.
Yes, been to St. Augustine a couple of times... usually on the way north from South Florida. It is a fun place to stop. I've only done the touristy stuff though, haven't been to the beach yet. Maybe this summer I'll go back.
TravelingRobert Well, that's kind of my point. Lots of touristy things to do here and it make good video. Go when El Galleon is in from Spain, do the fort and walk downtown. I think will surprise a lot of viewers.
The beach in St. Augustine is great, but...it's no Siesta Beach (one of my favorites) in Sarasota on the Sun Coast. But it's pretty good.
Food, I really like the Floridian - but that's my personal preference. They moved to Spanish street into a new build...err house. And I have not been in that new one yet. But same menu. So. Anyways.
Would make a good video.
Thanks Robert, love your videos.
... come on pretty mama...
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go ...
Because I'm free in Rob's RVeeeee yeahhhh!
LOL :-)
Robert Im getting addicted to you videos to see the different places
hi Robert, great video as always, we (me and the wife)have been to the keys for the last 9 years staying from key largo to cudjoe key(venture out),we are from south wales uk so it`s a bit of a journey, we find the keys a place all on is own just magic,every jan/feb we start to plan our hols in the keys like this year in may we are going into los angeles down to san diego then back up to santa Barbara-Monterey then san Francisco so your video on California has been morethan helpful to us thanks,best part of the hols will be the trip from san Francisco to Miami then the KEYS just got to love them KEYS.,regards paul
+mandy smith Hey, thank you! Enjoy you California road trip and then of course, the Keys.
+TravelingRobert thank you,staying in a private house in key colony right on the water with a hired 22ft boat how can`t we enjoy it it`s the keys
thats so sad in the ending with the bar i love the beach boys
Back in the 80's and 90's it was Holiday Isle. I t was hopping wild with cute guys and gals all over happy , singing and getting drunk.
thank you for these videos Robert. It gives me ideas & gets me in the mood for a Florida vacation (not that I ever need to be in the mood)!! Theater Under the Sea was really neat! These videos are better than what travel channel puts out & I love the drone videos too! Please keep them coming!
Thanks! Enjoy your Florida vacation!
You need to go eat at Sunset grill, just before you enter the 7 miles bridge t o your left all the way back.
Thanks for this video Robert ! I have been looking for a beach down in the keys. I just moved to Kendall after living in Miami for the past 14 years. And not to far away from you! I am in Kings Creek now and just off the snapper creek expressway. I go to Key Biscayne all the time by bike (look at my cover photo) . But now that I am further south I am not that far from the keys and wanted to check it out. Thanks again Robert for these great videos I love them !
Beautiful sights
Thanks again for another great video of the Florida Keys!
+Edward Petty Thank you!
A nice video, sorry the RV park was such a disappointment. That wasn't like the nice Sugerloaf campground in KW. Love watching anything about the Keys. Thanks Robert! :)
+icollectstuffdude Thank you! We'll keep on exploring campgrounds.
I am kind of addicted to your videos, especially the Florida Keys trips. I will be there in two weeks and you convinced me to check out Theater of the Sea. Just curious, have you stayed at Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge? If not, I would give it a try. Great campground. Thanks!
+Jason Rosko Never been to Pig Pine Key...but I'm going to Marathon this weekend. Thank you!
always love the fl keys and Monroe County fl.
+Michael Rains Me too :-)
Once again great video. I know one camp ground I will stay away from.
Hey, thanks.
Great drone footage!
Thank you, and that was my old drone
Excellent video! As usually ;)
+Igor Fil Thanks!
A friend of mine has been asking me to drive down to The Keys with him for a while now. But the last time we drove form Atlanta to Miami, when it was his turn to drive he was eating hot wings and riving at the same time. So I am hesitant to travel by car with him again.
I’d take the worst muddy murky water of the Keys any day over shit coffee waters we have in Louisiana any day. Thank you Robert.
Do you have plans on traveling to the pan handle? I love your honesty about certain things. You are usually upbeat, positive and have an "it is what it is" attitude. So when you don't like something, I think it's easy for people to trust you. My family and I enjoy your videos!
+Dawn Lizarraga In about 2 weeks I'm going to upload a video of the pan handle. Destin and Panama city. My favorite beach in Florida. Thank you!
AWESOME!!!
how to pair Galaxy S7 Edge
Great Trip! Thx for sharing!
brilliant achievement from robert !!!
Potsdam
I want to go too!!!!!!
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Nice one, Robert. Loved it
Thanks for another look at the Keys, TR! For a one time visit(Nov.) which Key would you suggest?
Hi Robert, Awesome job and I like how you told the truth about the campground, I will avoid them when I come down next year. What happen at the end of the video..? the other side of that pull out looked really steep. Did you get out of there without hurting your RV?
+redjaguar100 Yeah, we got our fine. Luckily I had bought brand new tires recently so traction was good. Unfortunately the memory card ran out at the precise moment. I see Class C RVs there all the time during the day so I though it would be a good place to stop sometime for picnic.... but maybe not. Hey, thanks!
Good call robert, I checked trip advisor on that place, the rating is 3/5 but when I checked the reviews most if not all the reviews gave it 1 star.
Yeah, that's unfortunate. Now we know. Thanks!
nice video.Very nice!!
+Γ. Παπακωνσταντίνου Thanks!
Nice
+Mrwan almeawi Thank you!
Another nice video of the Keys...We will be base camping (actually hotelling) in Key Largo so we are between Miami and Key West..any recommendation on where to eat local cuisine, seafood...buffet along the Keys? Where is the best Key Lime pie?
In Key Largo Mrs. Mac's kitchen comes to mind for the key lime pie. The Fish house is also really good. In Key West, Blue Haven for the ambiance, the fish, and the unique key lime pie too... but it is hard to find a bad restaurant in Key West. As far as buffet, there's Whale Harbor in Islamorada, but I haven't been there in quite a while so it might have changed. All you can eat crab legs and other seafood. Anyways, have a great time in the Keys!
Great thanks. Looks like Whale Harbor is closed due to fire and wont open til our spring break is over. less than 2 weeks We will be enjoying the salt water and the ocean bounty.
Robert,y ou do such a great job on your videos. I always enjoy watching them.Do you write the music you use in your video's?
Yes, I write all the music. It is one way to beat the copyright police.
So, Robert did you buy a Tee Shirt? I did both times we went to the "No Name Pub".
The beauty of an RV.... Don't like your neighbors or campground you can easily leave, I'm stuck with my unfriendly neighbors but not for much longer... Rving very soon..... Question Robert. How do you get the GoPro mounted on RV to last so long? Is it wired to RV battery or do you use some sort of extra capacity battery?
I am actually looking into getting an extended battery but no, nothing so sophisticated. I have extra batteries and just stop and climb up on the roof every two hours or so.
I love the blue parrot. He's like "fuck you bitch, I'm not performing for all these tourists." These animals belong in the wild.
Very disappointing RV park. :( Nice to be in the Keys.
+Modern & Postwar Model Trains Yeah, I'm sorry to say it wasn't the best experience... but hey, now we know.
What is your absolute favorite camp ground in the Keys?
Boyd's, just because it is so close to Key West
We?? Is someone with you?
MY wife, of course. She's doesn't like to be on camera
my home state keith in ohio
:-)
Love your videos, but to see these intelligent animals in captivity, I find it disturbing.
that doesn't make any sense but ok
AWESOME video as usual Robert! It's just ashame people have to be IDIOTS like that! Like you said there are Plenty of other campgrounds in the Keys! ☺
+Craig Sawyer Thanks... and I intend to visit many of them in the next few years. Next year I'm thinking the state parks like Bahia Honda and Long Key.
That will be SWEET! Looking forward to your next adventure! ☺
The hostess at Lazy Days is one rude mexican chica.
You talk spanish.. In english the fish is tarpon.. in spanish sabalo
unfortunately as you have probably noticed traveling around, people are for the most part very nice and considerate towards one another but when it comes to courtesy, Miami doesn't make the list. Most people in Mia are very nice but as you experienced in the campground there are some very ignorant and inconsiderate ones..
Don't like to see dolphins in captivity. They should be swimming free in the ocean.
I love your video, but I dont like seeing animals doing tricks. Its kinda cruel
So look away.
@@honeybadger7608 put you in cage or tank and do tricks see you like it. While you are being a smart ass
Rude people - you could live, if they would let you.
"The star of the show"?! Poor thing use your brain to imagine what they go through to be forced to do things they aren't used to doing.
They are fine and well taken care of.
