Congratulations on the new channel and moving home. Your content and production is great. We look forward to seeing your new adventures. Just remember your loyal subscribers when you start making millions! 😉 Sue & Clive

[@Explorcation]

Thank so much you two! Yes we're very excited for our move, even if it is only 25 minutes away. We're ready to enjoy a little peace and quiet for a while (and to save some money on rent!). We really appreciate the encouraging comments... and while it might take us making these videos into our 70's before we make a million, we definitely won't forget our loyal subscribers!

[@jamessouthby2437]

Congrats on the new channel and serving your notice - best of luck with what comes next! I've subscribed to Jamie and Skylar as well, it seemed the polite thing to do :)

[@Explorcation]

Thank you James for always supporting the main channel and now the new one too. We always new you were a polite guy 😂

[@ronlilly1679]

We travel to the area every month and know the city well but you guys always find things to see and do we have not experienced. We are big fans to you guys and hope to run into you sometime.

[@Explorcation]

We're so glad to hear that our channel has helped you guys to enjoy St. Pete. We plan to post most of our St. Pete related content to our "Jamie and Skylar" channel now, so if you haven't already subscribed to that channel, we'd recommend it! If you ever to run into us out and about, be sure to stop and say hi!

[@ramunegaizutis1286]

Wanted to hop on to say just how much I love this series! So many new great, and delicious, places to visit. Looking forward to watching more Florida content on your second channel! 😊

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much, Ramune! We can't believe we did this series for so long! It's a bit sad to see that many of the spots we visited have since closed, but most of our favorite ones are still going strong! We're excited to share more Tampa Bay area stuff on the other channel, and we really appreciate your support on both!

[@leanneadams2549]

The Candlepour looks so cool !! And since they have 3 stores it’s got to be pretty good !! I absolutely love St.Pete/Tampa area but sadly I can’t afford to live there off my little postal income. So I’ll be there thru these vids ! Thanks guys ! ❤

[@Explorcation]

Yes it was a very cool and unique experience! Unfortunately many people (including us) can't afford to live there anymore, but we'll definitely still be back to visit often!

[@davidc510]

another great episode. thanks for documenting st. pete through the years

[@Explorcation]

It's been our pleasure, David. We'll keep the St. Pete coming on our second channel and hope you join us over there if you haven't already!

[@BobCarlson]

Dinner by moon glow would totally be my number one pick. But I see I need to visit again as I would not want to pass up any of these picks.

[@Explorcation]

Yes the dinner experience at Sonata would be pretty remarkable for sure. It sems about every three months we've consistently found at least 6-8 new food/drink spots to visit, although it does seem like things are slowing down slightly more recently.

[@krystalanderic]

St Pete has SO MUCH to do and see! We'll have to make it an extended stop in our van the next time we get to FL :D

[@Explorcation]

Yes!!! You definitely should plan to allocate some extra time!

[@samo8204]

That beer was so good Skylar had to say it twice! Great content as always guys!!!

[@Explorcation]

Exactly! That's a great beer 😂

[@gladysgriffin7347]

Hi Jamie and Skyler, I am watching your video and taken notes for our 2025 vac ! Thanks for doing these series "What's new in '.... in St Pete" St Pete is always one of our destinations in winter !!

[@Explorcation]

Hello Gladys! Thank you so much for supporting this series. We had a lot of fun with it, and we're so happy that you've found it beneficial in planning your trips! We'll keep the St. Pete content coming on the other channel, so we hope to see ya over there too!

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍

[@Explorcation]

Our pleasure. It's been a fun series to make... and certainly never any shortage of new places to make content!

[@genehinders9639]

Love that you're going to hit some of the OG places too!

[@Explorcation]

We're excited for it. Glad to hear you guys are too!

[@trentkeever8400]

Heck yeah! Lost Boys! 🤙🏻 That mural is awesome! Thanks for the new brewery tips too, can’t wait to check ‘em out in a couple weeks 🍻

[@Explorcation]

YES! I just realized that it's been a few years since I've watched that movie. LONG overdue! And yes, always happy to share my favorite new beers around St Pete!

[@genehinders9639]

Bagel Bites...sounds like a great idea!

[@Explorcation]

Yeah we agree. Sometimes you just don't need an entire bagel!

[@Jacksonzole57]

Yes!!!

[@bollington7874]

Looooove your vlogging style!! Very professional and super fun. Keep up the great work.

[@Explorcation]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this encouraging comment!

[@genehinders9639]

Helloooooo! A "What's New"...awesome!

[@Explorcation]

Hey Gene! Thanks for dropping by!

[@ScullyPopASMR]

I just love watching your channel.

[@Explorcation]

Ahh thanks Scully. We love having awesome and incredibly talented viewers like you!

[@rhondalyn100]

I love less edited and more raw...I'm so excited to see y'all in a more casual way, sharing activities that are different from travel. I'm also looking forward to more extensive travel vids here on Explorcation, especially cruise jaunts. I'm taking my very first cruise on Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady next month and I'm thinking I will love this form of travel. Congrats to you both and well wishes for much fun ahead! Rhonda 🙂

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much for the feedback, Rhonda! It will be nice to be able to share a bit of our more normal day-to-day lives without feeling the need to spend hours on editing. We're glad you'll be looking forward to more cruise videos... because we'll definitely have some coming. We've got a bit of a fun/different idea for filming our next cruise, and we're pretty excited to share it. Of course we can't wait to hear about your experience on the Valiant Lady next month too. It will be here before you know it!

[@ultanwoods]

Great episode guys 👏

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much, Ultan! Glad you enjoyed this one.

[@JillianaMariah]

Yay!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Expanding is great. I didn’t see the link to new channel though. Please share it with me. 😊 congratulations 🎉

[@Explorcation]

Thank you! And yeah, that's my (Skylar's) fault. I completely forgot to include the link in the video description! The new channel is: www.youtube.com/@JamieandSkylar

[@matthewsommers99]

super awsome video

[@Explorcation]

Thanks, Matthew!

[@Jan4or]

Love your channel. Very good information for a variety of travellers. We will be in the area beginning of May and my granddaughter wants to see alligators. I have limited mobility ( ie need a boardwalk or other maintained surface)so would Sawgrass lake preserve be a good option that time of year. I think one of your past videos had a lot of vegetation on the lake in summer so was concerned it would be hard to see anything. We will be staying in Treasure Island so that looked probably the closest. Thank you for any help.

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for supporting our channel and taking the time to write this kind comment! We do think Sawgrass lake would be good for someone with limited mobility, but we can't say for sure if you'll be able to see gators. We only saw a couple on our trip and both were in the vegetation and we probably would have missed them if there weren't small crowds gathered near them. We hope you have a wonderful time on you visit to St. Pete!

[@vlheraty]

Please mentio the muralists featured in yout reviews. I'm loving what you do.

[@Explorcation]

Thank you for the suggestion. We'll try to make not of it in future videos!

[@vlheraty]

@@Explorcation It's great to have all these free cool backdrops, isn't it?

[@Explorcation]

@@vlheraty absolutely, and with the annual Shine Mural Festival more are created every year :)

[@ashleysullivan3411]

I love the channel

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much, Ashley!

[@adamd5530]

Congratulations. Hoping for an epic route66 video one day.

[@Explorcation]

One of these day it will happen (one one of our channels) and we can't wait for it!

[@Victory1981]

There’s no shortage of restaurants in St. Pete…lol I definitely need to try that Sonata. That lobster benny looked delicious and the brunch wich. Kraken Joe’s wing special was pretty neat as well. I was in St. Pete a couple of weeks ago at Weeden Island hiking.

[@Explorcation]

There sure isn't! We've had a good time making the series, but we're also a bit glad that it's over (at least for now), as these videos are expensive and time consuming... and not the best for our health 😂 We need to spend less time eating at new restaurants and more time hiking like you!

[@nelsonl5158]

Love the Burg! Do Pinellas Park next!

[@Explorcation]

We'll definitely be visiting some Pinellas Park spots on our other channel!

[@cayrab1]

Thanks for taking one for the team Skylar 😂

[@Explorcation]

Sometimes you have to 😂

[@vlheraty]

A fun food review but, fyi, Sonata no longer serves lunch as of two weeks ago.

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much for watching and sharing this info!

[@vlheraty]

Fun! Who arer the muralists at Neon?

[@Explorcation]

We were told they were done by a local tattoo artist, but not sure exactly whom.

[@billyc3757]

Great video! My wife is from NY and loves bagels. Check your blog for additional comments and a question.

[@Explorcation]

Getting a NY bagel is going to be #1 on our list when we finally get to visit New York together. Honestly I think our entire top 10 things to do will be food related 😂

[@billyc3757]

@@Explorcation I can make a few recommendations when you're ready to go. :-)

[@Explorcation]

@@billyc3757 that would be great! We'll definitely let ya know when we plan a trip up there!

[@aretheybiting2251]

C'mon, there's zero chance Jamie can eat all that sandwich (hearty!). Just curious, do you get a lot of take home boxes during your trips?

[@Explorcation]

Accurate... 0 chance 😂 And yes, LOTS of take-home boxes.

[@donaldsiler6779]

Wow hands free sucks. Skyler and I meant to share

[@donaldsiler6779]

Tyler I meant to she this awhile back. This is me taking off out of our home base KMRB. Turn the volume up m.kzbin.info/aero/PL0AexmD3LaEicm54u052sm2msStLn5sBw

[@Explorcation]

Thanks for sharing. That's a fun hobby! Lots of beautiful places to fly around in your part of the country.

[@donaldsiler6779]

We did East of the Mississippi. I flew West Palm Beach Co .
