[@LyfeUntethered]

Florida is probably our favorite state in our travels. Awesome vid!

Cruisin down the A1A Best episode ever! The Keys are my next destination so excited to see more. No wonder people want to retire early!

[@NewstateNomads]

Wow, Doug, thanks so much! We loved exploring the Keys and can't wait to hear what you think of the next two episodes. When are you planning to visit? - Howard

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

I am ever so grateful for this video today. I woke up to another dreary windy and wet day. You brought the sunshine to my morning. Sun, water, palm trees, good food and lots of interesting places to visit. I felt I was on holiday. Feeding those fish was incredible to watch. Large mouths to feed. I'm now off to make my breakfast- dreaming of lobster and settling for fruit and yoghurt 😂! Happy travels. 👍🌷 🙋‍♀️

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you always for your support and kind words! ❤️ We're motivated to share from wonderful comments like yours, and glad to hear it helps with the less than ideal weather back home for you. Hopefully we'll finally meetup on your side of the pond! 👍 -Howard

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

@@NewstateNomads Last week we checked our weather forecast and it appeared we'd have some nice weather east of here- so booked a hotel for a few days. Guess what? It'll be dry at home and WET there. Sigh! I'm a positive person and am confident the rain will fall at night while we sleep and the sun will shine during the day 😂😎! I just klove spending time with you guys. It is a real escape from daily events. Our covid numbers are dropping quite rapidly now, as many vaccinations have been set. Hopefully it'll make traveling to Europe more feasible. Happy travels you two and I'll have the coffee and stroopwafels at the ready. 🙋‍♀️

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks and we can't wait! ☕

[@hennypenny6982]

I smiled so big the entire video! Thanks for sharing! This place is so beautiful! I can't wait to go to Florida. Especially the Keys. It's my dream! :)

Thanks so much for watching, and so glad you found us! Yes, the FL Keys are an incredible place to explore and we can't wait to go back! 👍 -Howard

[@jeffg8482]

Everything looked so fantastic! My favorite was the Islamorada Beer Co. & Distillery! Looking forward to seeing more of the Keys - thank you!

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Jeff!! You're so welcome. 😊 We can't wait to share the rest of the fun we had! And yes, Islamorada Beer Co. was awesome! Everything we tried, we liked. 🙌 Thanks so much for watching! ♥️ -Katelyn

Love the keys! It’s my favorite place and love Robbies, thanks for showing me other things to do down there I didn’t even know about

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Dee Dee! We had a wonderful time in the Keys and so glad this episode was helpful! If you haven't already watched the rest of the Florida Keys series, we also have episodes from further down the keys (middle keys and Key West). Thanks so much for watching! -Howard kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpbLpGiIl9afrM0

[@ddpachall]

@@NewstateNomads I watched them all this morning!! It was great

[@sherriweber7105]

This was a great video Howard and Katelyn. Loved looking at the food. Looked good. How was that great big fish you ate? I’m used to seeing big fish our best friends had a fish market in Michigan and they had all kinds of fish. Even lobster and crab. How was the snorkeling? That brewery looked fun to go through and taste the drinks. You guys feeding the big little fish the big fish took the little fish and ate fast and looked like they bit you at first. They were quick. This was a fun video. Can’t wait until next video. Have a great week and see you soon!

[@Jorge-I-Rodriguez]

Hey nomads, we just came back from an amazing keys trip where we did most of your itinerary. Robbie's, jet skis, snorkeling, the two breweries in Islamorada. Also did pigeon key and tarpon feeding. It was so much fun and places we had never heard of. Thank you for putting this together It made for an awesome trip!

[@NewstateNomads]

Jorge, we LOVE hearing that! Glad you had such a great time in the Keys and our episodes were helpful. Where's your next trip planned? Thanks for watching and we're so glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard

[@staarfields]

You guys captured it!!! Safe travels!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Staar! So wonderful to meet you and your family. Hope we cross paths again in the future and please stay in touch! ❤️

[@jackieharris2854]

Cool I live 60 miles from the beginning of the keys going soon…. Thanks

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

So fun! We did a road trip down The Keys years and years ago after going to The Miami Boat Show. We didn’t feed the tarpon, but we did stop there. Makes me want to go again!

[@NewstateNomads]

Definitely worth another visit! Can't wait to hear what you think of our next two episodes as we explore further down the Keys. Thanks as always for watching and your support! 👍 -Howard

[@johnlynch8315]

Looks like lots of fun. I love to snorkel in about 20 feet of water.

[@NewstateNomads]

John, definitely a lot of fun! Can't wait to hear what you think of the rest of our Keys series (spoiler: there's more snorkeling ahead 😎). Glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard

[@morebasheder]

Yes Katelyn! This is the roadtrip I've been waiting for. Looks absolutely amazing. I am determined to drive that highway myself one day lol

[@NewstateNomads]

YAY!!! I'm so glad 😊🙌 I definitely hope you can experience it one day soon. It's incredible! ❤️ -Katelyn

[@ibelishernandez6019]

If you going to Puerto Rico, go to LA GUANCHA in Ponce. The fish for feed it's 10 time mor bigger than that. 😊

[@peacefulwife5199]

Wow, a Lobster Rueben? That sounds so delicious right now. What kind of bread was it served with? Ohhh, my.😋😋😋😋

Awesome! Jarhead was a SCUBA instructor for a 2nd job. This is on our list!

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh so cool! Maybe he can give me some tips one day 🤣I tried scuba once and thought I was going to love it but freaked myself out. I definitely want to try again. YESSS! The keys are a must visit place for sure!

[@shannonalward217]

I would have dropped every single one of those fish feeding the tarpon! 😆 That underwater footage you took was spectacular. Just gorgeous. I wish I drank gin because I was all over that color changing trick at Islamorada. I’ll definitely look for their beer though when we are in the Keys in a few months. 🏖 Thanks, as always, for sharing your adventures with us. Such a treat.

[@NewstateNomads]

Once my hand got scraped, I was too scared and just kept dropping them. 😅 I was so brave at first! Thank you!!! I could have stayed in the water for hours watching those fish. 😍 You'll have to let us know which beers you like at the brewery. And you're so welcome!! Thanks for always supporting our videos! ♥️♥️♥️ -Katelyn

Nathan, we might have been there at the same time! Sunshine and Fiesta were both great resorts for exploring the upper and middle keys. 👍 -Howard

Another awesome video you two! The reef looks amazing, we're definitely adding that (and the brewery) to our list! Andy & L

Thanks guys!! ❤️🙌 Oh yes, you two will love the brewery. The snorkeling was great! Love seeing all those fishies. Thanks for watching you two! -Katelyn

[@BarefootVlogger]

Love it down there. Best place in FL to get away from it all 😎

[@NewstateNomads]

Absolutely agree! It's a tropical paradise! Thanks so much for watching 😊 -Katelyn

[@karencueto3940]

Stopped at Robbies and fed the fish probably 20 years ago. My kids still remember it. No net up then lol

[@NewstateNomads]

That's awesome! Haha apparently they put the nets up because the pelicans were relentless in stealing the fish 🤣 thanks so much for watching Karen! ❤️ -Katelyn

[@aflac3811]

I was in Key West Florida last week

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

The whole fish has us drooling again. The dive from the boat was epic. How are the camping cost? Lou & Angie

[@NewstateNomads]

Lou & Angie, you've got to eat before watching, how many times have we told you?! Haha. So much more to share from the Keys in the next two episodes, but don't come hungry! Camping costs GREATLY depend on the amount of planning, amenities and location ($36 - $100+ a night). If you can snag some state park camping well in advance, it's the most economical, but the private RV resorts can't be beat for amenities and proximity to activities. I'd advise to mix it up and try several spots along the Keys! 👍 -Howard

[@stephenpolos1689]

Great video I haven't seen scout or the other dog 's are they alright

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks Stephen! Aww yes they're all good. ♥️ So sweet of you to ask! Scout was on strict crate rest from her heartworm treatment while we were filming this video. But she's doing so well now! -Katelyn

Hi guys. This is a shot in the dock. Can you tell me what happened to Adaptive Humanity. The last I saw was their video renovating their rig for a European Tour? Thanks.

[@NewstateNomads]

They're deep in building out their new van! Should be done in the next few weeks and we're hoping to meet up with them soon to start traveling together again. 👍 -Howard

Haha, thanks so much Gary!! Absolutely gorgeous there. 😍

[@garyaberle603]

@@NewstateNomads It was definitely brave of Kaitlyn to feed that fish in slow Mo that thing definitely went over your hand you’re lucky you’re not missing fingers! would Howard love you with missing fingers 👍🏼

[@tarac5137]

I wonder why they added the nets at Robbie’s? People falling in? Tarpon jumping too far out? Will have to check out the Islamorada Distillery next time, and tell friends with a condo there! 🍻

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha! We wondered the same thing and it's because of the pelicans! They get really aggressive in trying to steal the fish from the tarpon. 🤣 Yes! Definitely let them know, the beer and cocktails were all really good! We were impressed. Thanks for watching Tara! ♥️ -Katelyn

[@chowdermusket2094]

I just ate at robbies. Tarpons were cool but the food was mediocre at best. Talked to some locals and even they say there isn’t much to eat in the keys that is above mediocre.

[@sledgehammer9739]

Because when I think Florida Keys I always think about Peruvian food.

[@IMStrawman]

Jacksonville to Key West is more than 329 miles, more like 500

[@NewstateNomads]

That's correct, Jacksonville to Key West is almost exactly 500 miles. However, the A1A designation starts and stops along the route. Depending on the source, A1A is usually calculated at approximately 330 miles in length. Here's one site that breaks down all the various sections of the famous road. Thanks for watching! -Howard www.aaroads.com/guides/fl-a1a/

[@IMStrawman]

@@NewstateNomads Yes, but your video says "from the northermost beach in Florida" and shows Fernandina Beach as the A1A starting point, some 539 miles from Key West. Earth may spin off it's axis if this isn't corrected. John

[@theinspireddesigner]

A1A is 100% NOT the road that runs through the Keys. Its US1. A1A runs along the eastern coast of Florida and ends in Miami Beach.

[@NewstateNomads]

A1A and US 1 diverge and reunite throughout Florida all the way down to Key West. Here's the picture as you cross over from Stock Island to Key West (note the A1A goes left, US 1 goes right). Thanks for watching! -Howard images.app.goo.gl/8gzJBp6z23Sh8PYc8

[@carlphinney4026]

Not sure why I don’t like it, but your videos are starting to look less like RV travel videos and more like tourism commercials for the places and businesses you visit.
