RVing in Key West for Lobsterfest 2018 - Traveling Robert

[@studio-flash]

The whistle bar on Duvall..yep I've had a drink up on the balcony. Spanish Colonial style architecture..cool.

[@Rdfelic]

I can never get enough of the Key West Videos! Love them!

[@rogerchouinard3180]

Another amazing visit of Key West! Great views underwater, sunsets, drone, etc. etc. Tank you very much for all your work Robert !

[@texasstarmagazine]

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.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you.

[@ernestoquintero747]

lol "more cameras then a Vegas casino" Key West drinking tour looks to be a success. Travel safe fellow Cuban.

[@kathythomas7371]

Nice tour. I’ve only been here 1 time. Off a cruise ship. 1 of 3 in port. SO crowded! Can’t wait to try it again with my own camper van. K

[@towersong13]

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.

[@georl1]

Nice video, Robert. The Florida Keys was the site for the filming of the 1963 movie PT109 about President John F. Kennedy's time in the Navy during WWII. Great movie. Enjoyed you video a lot. Thanks.

[@janicegaypowers3953]

Love “traveling” with you, Robert! ❤️ It’s great fun, and it’s like being on a vacation. Love the iguana! My uncle Dale was a specialist nurse in Key West, years ago.

[@susanray8515]

You have a great life

[@paulsuprono7225]

You obviously was vigorous, industrious . . . in your younger years. So, resultingly you can now enjoy your 'master years' with absolute glee ! If I was so smart ! 😡

[@Bramster17]

These Florida RV trips (especially the keys) do stay my favorite videos :D

[@ginamt567]

Your channel is very good reminds of the travel channel when it had travel on it. Very good commentary!

[@sctenz]

"when it had travel on it" Ha! Great comment!

[@foldingchaise8387]

Thanks Robert !!!!

[@joemorrow7691]

You got it made Robert👍👍🍺🍺🇺🇸😁

[@valgehiir]

Living in Toronto in the 90s, I used to hear stories about rich gay scene in Key West, and how different Key West is from most of USA, all gone by now, it seems

[@runswithbeer]

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.

[@albertnavas1656]

Hey Robert congrats on such a successful channel. I've been following you now for a couple of years since I became an RV'er myself. Just wanted to recommend for next time staying at Boyd's, down the street from there is "Hog Fish" Bar & Grill which is fantastic. Happy RV'ing my friend.

[@paulsuprono7225]

10 Bucks, to climb the lighthouse . . . OMG !

[@studio-flash]

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.

[@noname-lq2kg]

Free in my RV... that tune is permanently in my head now. My brain digs it!

[@nomadicsporadic3836]

Great video!! I Just found your channel, new subscriber. im traveling to the keys next winter, getting ideas for places to visit. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Barlovento2005]

Hi Robert, I never get tired of your Key West trips. I always feel like I’ve just come back from a mini vacation. Thanks!

[@dougjohns5115]

@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]

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

[@paulsuprono7225]

@Lloyd Bonafide THANKS for the morning. Was once homeless, D.C. metropolis . . . purhaps I could visit my 'brothers' and see if I could help them ! 🇺🇸

[@MichaelSharpBLACKDRUMMIKE]

very touristy....are there any beaches? Even the historical sites are commercialized, tourist, traps.....the best thing about your video is your voice. You should be a disc jockey for a 50's radio station....ty for saving me the long drive to the Keys. That is not the kind of place I want to spend for vacation

[@garyherlth9031]

Ola Robert. Today is Sept. 25th 2018. When will you be in Key West again? Would like to buy you a drink. I live here in Miami Lakes, Fla.

[@bob_atwestmi_fl_us7812]

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

[@TravelingRobert]

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.

[@robertloken8212]

Why did the chicken cross the road????? To proove to the armadillo that it could be done.

[@robinetteknowles7652]

Thank you Robert...I lived in Key West in High School for quite some time.....I had forgotten all of the great food on every corner......nothing like Cuban food.....Boa's fish wagon has expanded tremendously lol.....places to sit.....and no Bo.......never saw the Light House the entire time I lived there, thirty years.......yes I was a Conch Train Driver, the tour is boring...........informative but sloooooooooow! ' and you got it HOT>>enjoy awaiting more of your stories......love your commentary man.....THANKS>>>>>wow the distillaries......amazing....I knew it was coming.....I also cleaned Jimmy Buffet's Home yes......quite informative.......! Mojito!

[@garyadams2822]

Finding your childhood phone # in the old phone book was pretty cool.

[@petergore6772]

I love your videos traveling round America. I live in England and will never be able to go there, But watching your videos I don't need to, you show the good and the not so good in equal measure.

[@STEALTH1USA]

Hope you get the chance to visit someday, I too want to visit England someday.

[@7300gina]

Willie T’s has the best Mojitos! Comes with real sugar cane. Food is good too.

[@teresitarealestate1]

Thanks for your comment. It is great to be able to go somewhere that has a good reputation.

[@bigblackhorsestudio2073]

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!

[@endofsociety]

I love the keys. Wish I could live there all year round. Out of all your videos, these are my favorite.

[@AskRemy]

I have a client who lives there year round - she operates her out of state business from Key West. You can do it if it is truly your desire.

[@pedalpetter5865]

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. Cheers Volker (from Hamburg Germany)

[@jhmup]

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! 👏

[@5avan10]

I got a bottle of that same batch of Bad Bitch. It really is different from other bottles I've purchased in the past and IMO it's much better. Also, IMO, Key West Legal Rum (their basic white rum) is excellent in mojitos and daiquiris.

[@nobodyspecial9262]

Key Waste, what a waste of time. Lived on Long Key back in the 1980's while the new bridges were being built, took my family to Key West in 2004. No reason to return, been there done that and yes almost ever place we went messed up our order. Too Busy, Too Crowded. Great Video though, I concur, I'm free in my RV also.

[@beeraddlee1]

I concur. The freaking loud live music everywhere is awful. So loud you have to scream and yell to order a drink.

[@diogenespaula2848]

Love your videos Just wondering if one day you could do to the southern most point then fly your drone as high as possible and see if you can see Cuba 🇨🇺

[@robinetteknowles7652]

Ninety Miles, hon...... they wont let you close.....

[@dodgeguyz]

I was told by many that the Keys shut down in the summer and there isn’t much going on? It doesn’t look like that’s true at all!

[@DreamingOutloudRVing]

I just had to watch again because it makes me feel like I went on a trip!!! Can’t wait to go for real 😃

[@studio-flash]

The beach where you were snorkeling..by the Naval base, that's the one I went to. Great place, have an IPA for me..I want to go back.

[@violetsky2225]

first time seeing key west and a bit surprised at the lack of sand. also it reminds me of new Orleans with all the bars. Probably would be best to go with lots of friends.

[@carlosdelanocortez1364]

Everytime you do the Fly Pelican....I crack up. How about showing a flamingo? Love your content Robertico.

[@daviddurham4659]

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

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@Workinggirlhomestead]

bahia honda is an awesome place to snorkle they have those bermuda startfish

[@TravelingRobert]

I'll make it back to Bahia Honda one of these days

[@dougtagg9162]

Thank you for key west. Haven’t been there since the seventies and eighties.staying at eden roc ( i think)

[@edf2953]

I stumbled across this video and love it! I’m glad I took the time to read all the comments left by others who saw this and many of your other videos. 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.

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Drafted 65' Veteran- Retired at age 55 in 05' HOT! HUMID! HOT! Did Say Hot and Humid? Yes Lived in Lauderdale in the 70's AND LIKE LIVING UP NORTH? THEY hIBERNATE INSIDE 4-6 MOS A YR FOR THE WINTER, WE DO THE SAME HERE DURING SUMMERS.. AND IT RAINS EVERY DAY TO SET YOU WATCH TOO FOR A MONTH.. IF OUTSIDE? REFRESHING TO HAVE THE RAINS COME , LIKE A DAILY SHOWER! BUT, YES TRY TO VISIT BTWN NOV-APRIL IF CAN..

[@edwardpetty5401]

Great video Robert. Its been a while, But we will make our way back to Key West.

[@ChristopherBlazen]

I’ve been 👇 there twice & enjoyed my solo adventures. Great video 👍🏻

[@jake2063]

If you want to see what LOBSTER FEST is all about, come to New England... MAINE coast is the best, but anywhere in New England can get you a REAL LOBSTER from the cold Atlantic.

[@evopwrmods]

Hate to be a downer...but...Key West has changed and imho gone way down from a few decades ago. Of-course I am not much for crowds and or touristas every where you see. In my last visit down to key West all I saw were cheap t-shirt selling shacks everywhere, and the crowds..OMGawd...way way too many people. And such blatant commercialism at every corner has been crammed with materialism to grab your hard earned usa dollar. Nope sadly Key West has seen the last of me, I am onward in search of other less crowded and discovered places. It does sadden me though, but not in the least bit surprised at how america has become such a materialistic neon wrapped paved paradise. However; this video and production was Top Notch..very good effort, as I just somehow came upon your video and channel so great Job Mr. Robert and Company !!!!

[@erichgreen82grandparitchie23]

LOOKING FOR A FRIEND ''SHERRY' ''WHITE''+SHE WAS WORKING AT THE ''BUTTERFLY' ''CONSM? I AM FROM VERMONT, BUT NOW LIVING IN THE LIPA CITY ''PHILIPPINES'' SHE WAS LIVING ON FLORIDA STREET??

[@ElvisAndretti]

Never apologize for going to Key West, if I lived in southern Florida I'd be there twice a month.

[@GameOver-ei8ui]

I thought Key West was only for gay people

[@ElvisAndretti]

flyboyglenn are you 14? In case you’re not as ignorant as that comment would suggest, any place that has a reputation for attracting LGBT folks is a good place to visit. Fun bars, good food and a tolerant atmosphere.

[@GameOver-ei8ui]

I wouldn't mind visiting but I'd be concerned for the welfare of my children. Teenagers are very vulnerable and Im not sure Key West would be the appropriate place to visit for the under-age.

[@vHUGOvSTiGLiTZv]

flyboyglenn I’m sure your children will have a horrible time on tropical island

[@GameOver-ei8ui]

At least the gay people are isolated in one concentrated area and away from the general public.

[@bretdawdy6749]

Hey Robert i randomly came across your channel for Key West doing a search on KZbin. We are heading to Florida from Ontario Canada in January and are staying in Key West 1 night in mid January. Is there any must do's? We are staying about 2 blocks from Malory Sqaure. Love your channel!

[@stuarttaylor2107]

Actually, when you think about it, at some point we should see measurable curature but none is present. That boat came into view because you zoomed in. If it was over the horizon you couldn't have been able to zoom in on it. It's all because of perspective and angular size. Anyways, keep up the good work!!

[@endofsociety]

As far as the prices go, it's probably because they raised taxes substantially to recover from hurricane losses. Politicians only care about number$ not the locals.

[@djNastyJ]

Who likes the Speaker too ???

[@drewturnbull]

I just left the Keys last night. Beautiful as always. I was at Stock Island too, at The Oceans Edge Resort. Your Keys vids are my favourites and howIfound your channel. I think the music you’ve composed works so well with the Keys visuals. Cheers, Robert!

[@harveynewman4333]

incredible well done video. I saw things I never saw before and I have gone to key west since the early 70s.

[@richardnone5644]

nice video i was also driving to the keys on that same day august 10 taking my 13 year old daughter so sea camp on Big pine key most of the places have been cleaned up and are missing lots of vegetation

[@SuperQdaddy]

Key west is great..but has become so packed with tourist s.....mid day is to hot to walk around...so enjoy your morning and evening *

[@tonycress9746]

Well you brought back the memories today my friend,I lived in Key West in the 90's,, Thank you ,,great video.

[@C-TOS]

I went to Margaritaville with my family a few years ago, pleasantly surprised.

[@drdwgmd14]

Robert keep these videos coming I love the key west videos I am up SAST with this place

[@jawtin]

Is it hot and muggy? Sorry, being sarcastic. Beyond my home Key West is my favorite parcel of land...

[@AmeraAngel]

There are Two areas that Need to be skipped, not for Children! Please edit them. Other wise we Love your trips a lot! Thank you!

[@robertclymer6948]

Wow 121.00 plus tax off season is hardly affordable for a retiree on fixed income. Just saying.

[@capitalsign]

Next best thing to actually going there without the stress of driving. plus and minus.....

[@Matt_from_Florida]

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.

[@travelingaquanauts3137]

I have found if it is a sandy beach, not much sea life. If it has a lot of rocks, lots of sea life. It's a good trade off for snorkeling!

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

I do hope someday you'll go fishing from Key West..Great video..

[@paulsuprono7225]

Just think, Robert, you won't travel as far . . . if it's under water ! Lol, 😱

[@TerryB751]

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.

[@christinestange4813]

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!

[@kim621100]

Feel free to take a few home with you as well as a dozen or so iguanas !!! They make good pets

[@Dominiqueuqinimod]

I just drove there myself! I was on that highway yesterday. My bestie and I just had dinner there and then did a ghost hunt at the ghost tour place next door-all in the spirit of fun. I got some good food at the food cart right outside of The Bull. Do you know where the original Sloppy Joe’s was located? I know that Hemingway was very close friends with Sloppy Joe. I got to see the Hemingway House and the Old White House as well.

[@TravelingRobert]

It is just around the corner Capt Tony’s Saloon

[@charlesjay8818]

You're welcome

[@paulsuprono7225]

And how was it . . . give me your thoughts, experiences ! 😎

[@SocratesWS]

Howdy Robert,many thanks for sharing yet another 'superproduction' video here which I watched with great pleasure on my smartphone in my hotel room on the Greek island of Rhodes,where I am holidaying right now.Cordial greetings from William(the guy from Bruges, Belgium,Europe-lol)

[@onionrings8896]

[@Peggyt-jp6mt]

Thank you for going up all those stairs in the lighthouse and filming the view for us.

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome

[@paulsuprono7225]

Ya . . . and saved your viewers $10, in the process ! 😇

[@AskRemy]

20 years in Florida, 10 of it in Naples, access to boats and I have never visited Key West

[@philt1771]

You should get down there one of these days; it's really a great town chocked with history, great bars, great restaurants and great fishing!

[@rlw127]

I always enjoy your Key West videos. And now for some sad news Wayne Hammond, the bass player for Pete and Wayne past away suddenly on September 14th. They have been entertaining at Sloppy Joe's for over 20 years. I've been going to Key West since 1997 and have been greatly entertained by them. He will be greatly missed.

[@kimberlyscabiniowa1199]

My first time watching your videos Robert. I totally enjoyed this one! Very entertaining and educational. Plus you saved me the admission costs to so many places! LOL I spend much time online at Two Friends pub and diner... I hope you have them on a video somewhere... it is a live stream to them... and the cruise ships live cameras...Thank you for doing this. Love your voice, the accent! Your video stated in the beginning that the cost of staying in the RV park was $121... is that per night? per week?

[@beverlybalius9303]

Your videos are great!!! You have a perfect voice for this!!! Reminds me of Richardo Montlebond......Can you do one on Truman Annex and that is where our Ship was docked,,,,, i was a Merchant Sailor there!!!!! Do one on the sailors in times past!!!! It was an old Pirates den back before the railroad was built!!! The Conch Republic!!!

[@paulabradley5862]

I'm really enjoying your video. It's really great to see Key West again. You parked so close to the water, scary. how much was it to camp there please? Was it only for rvs? I really enjoyed your video

[@Mark-ik2lo]

Another great video again👍👍

[@RS-io6vm]

if you have a toy hauler rv you can fit a small boat in the back when you move around.

Hi, Robert 👍🏻👍🏻 I always enjoy watching your travels to Key West, also you visited a lot of different places and areas in this video so amazing to see the beautiful scenery and surrounding area. I enjoyed your visit to the park and the snorkeling underwater scenes were cool lots of fish 🐟. Thanks for sharing and taking us along with you, enjoy and have a Great Friday !!! Danny

[@orzelbialy8334]

Best video about Key West , BTW I am going there from New York City in April, by motorcycle.

Thank you! Enjoy!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Key West is still looking good - even on a hot August day. That said, you might wanna check out one of my most recent videos to see my shout-out on a hot summer boating day! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn2uh5aad5d3nLs 🎥

[@aerospot2]

You have a thing for the Keys. Me Too!

[@heberbelles7612]

Robert, The next time you go to the beach bring along a pair of Binoculars and telescope. Watch the ships go out to see until you can no longer see them with your eyes, then get out your Binoculars and just like magic the ship will re appear. Then when you can no longer see the ship, get out your telescope and just like magic the ship will re-appear again. I have done this myself in NJ. Water takes the shape of what ever container it is in. Water doesn't curve. That's why its called sea-Level not sea-curved. " The Earth is flat" NASA Lies. Do some research.

[@rev.jimjonesandthekool-aid4488]

Umm...laughably no, its a globe. You're cute.

[@Hobbyautorin]

So many impressions from this nice place. Like it! Thanks!

[@conniealicea1958]

We leave Ft. Lauderdale at 5am to avoid all the traffic :-) and it's not to early to drink...ok we arrive at around 8am, but isn't margarita considered juice with breakfast...LOL

[@WhiteFox011]

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.

[@paulsuprono7225]

What happens, if you capture a chicken ? 🔥

[@Sallyb1022]

This was wonderful and brought back many happy memories.

[@BIGDAVE5352]

I grew up in key west and since moved on. El Siboney used to be much better when the original owners had it 12 years ago. Now it has slipped a bit.
