Just watched this video about Key West, and I’m feeling so inspired! The vibrant colors, stunning sunsets, and lively atmosphere truly capture the spirit of the island. Can't believe how much there is to explore, from the historic sites to the beautiful beaches! Definitely putting this place on my travel bucket list. Thanks for sharing such amazing footage! 🌴✨

Thank you for the feedback! I’m so glad I was able to channel just a bit of The Key West experience on video. It deserves a high place on your bucket list. 🪣📋✅

Just to clarify for the viewers, the Garden of Eden bar, where clothing is optional, is up the stairs and is on the rooftop. The Bull is on the first floor, where you walked in, and Whistle Bar is on the second floor.

Yes but WHY WOULD YOU. we make this trip 1-2 times a year it takes us 8-9 hrs to do it. There are too many places to see and visit. The trip down is part of the beautiful trip to Key West. When your in the Keys take off your watch and enjoy yourself and Life. Never rush. Stop and smell the roses….
@PlantBasedJan Жыл бұрын
You are spot on! BUT, there are some situations where there is only a day. We had to decide - does someone get to see the keys and KeyWest or - not?? We picked the one-dayer option. Hectic! And no stopping to smell any roses. 🌹 🧐

Where do you park in key west , planning a trip
@PlantBasedJan Жыл бұрын
There's actually quite a few options: metered street parking (usually have to walk a few blocks). There are also several city parking lots and private garages within the area. We found metered street parking fairly easily about 4 blocks away from Duvall Street.

Aawww, the manatees! 2002ish, I snorkeled with them in Crystal Springs, near Tampa. One of the highlights of my life. I can't understand why Florida doesn't ban outboard motors in areas populated by manatees. Those props decimate our beautiful, slow moving sea cows. I guess boats are more important than these precious beings. And love the Wendell Berry quote, which I'd never heard: The food industry pays no attention to health; and the health industry pays no attention to food. That's it in a nutshell, isn't it?!? I love Key West. Need to go again. Thx for the great video!

I'm curious... in your van, how many of you eat plant based? I'm vegetarian for 58 years. Veganish! But never influenced my family; they all eat meat :(

@@monicamestas7566 I agree, the manatees are sooo cute, so peaceful - and vulnerable. I’ve talked to a number of Florida boaters who are careful, aware of their areas, so hopefully they are the vast majority. That’s one of my favorite quotes. Because it’s so accurate. KeyWest or bust! 👍

Anywhere to stay along the way that's "reasonably" priced?
@PlantBasedJan4 ай бұрын
We’ve stayed at a few different places over the years that were very reasonable. I can’t vouch for current prices, ownership changes etc. The Kon-Tiki in Islamadora, clean and basic. Captain Pips in Marathon. Some eclectic rooms. Sugarloaf Lodge worked well a few years ago. I’d check current reviews on everything and you should be able to find some gems depending on your schedule.
