Thank you so much for bringing this national treasure to folks attention. Like the Spanish missions of San Antonio, its great to see it is being preserved for future generations.

Thanks for sharing this! So glad you were able to film Dry Tortuga's National Park and share this wonderful area with us.

Video was great! So happy that you got Kris for a pilot and that Stacey got to ride up front. We enjoyed meeting you in the keys and hope to see you again on the road!

Looked awesome!! So happy you made the trip! ❤❤

You are such an inspiring couple. We live in Ontario Canada and look forward to following you on this awesome adventure up the east coast. It will be easy for us to duplicate when we head south to Florida and west to Texas in 2024. You both pronounced Newfoundland correctly the first time. The emphasis is on the first syllable, the last 2 syllables are identical. Noo-fuhnd-luhnd Can't wait for the next video in this series.

Newfoundlander here. We actually pronounce the first two syllables quickly and the last syllable with a long 'A'. Just like you would normally say it when talking about land..."Look at all of the land he owns". So, it would be Noo-fin-lAnd.

Love this video! We’ve been to Key West a few times but never further than that. Love the sea plane! We’ve been on small prop planes a couple of times, once in Hawaii over the Mauna Loa volcano and once in Alaska to visit a glacier. So much fun!

I'm excited for this journey and a sammich is good! Enjoy the journey!

Absolutely AWESOME video! We have been to Dry Tortugas National Park - we actually attended a wedding there what an amazing day it was. Definitely this is a bucket list for everyone, the build is amazing and if you love the water it is a definite do not miss. Safe travels!

I LOVE Phil's pro tip. Have fun.

Great video and thanks for showing this park...add to our bucket list! Only a few years from retirement- ugh!! My late father served in Navy on USS Henry W. Tucker destroyer, like you guys he loved the Navy! Safe travels and thanks for your service and providing the content that you do.

I love places like this!! I’m one of those weirdos who would go to an off the path wall and touch an odd placed brick and think that the last person to touch it before me was the person who actually laid that brick! What great history!

Awesome episode! Love the Florida Keys. Looking forward to your travels to Canada.

We just visited Dry Tortuga's! Totally agree it is worth it. We took the sea plane (first flight) for a full day. Loved the history, the fort and the snorkeling. So thankful we were able to experience this trip.

Enjoyed this video. So many others just focus on the snorkeling but this was so interesting. We're jealous about you going to Newfoundland. It has been on my bucket list for years so we'll be excited to see your videos. We are heading to Nova Scotia again this year to explore the Cabot Trail. Hope you will love Nova Scotia as much as we do.

Thank you for showing this National Park south far south of the Florida Keys. Wow!! Amazing that a fort was built that far out into the Atlantic Ocean. Yes, I think I would take the seaplane out to this National Park Center.. And yes, bringing sandwiches along is great to have on flights!!! I laughed at that suggestion tip from your husband! By being a former Purser Flight Attendant, I know what it is to have food on an airplane! Hahaha!😊

So glad to see this video, Fort Jefferson and Dry Tortugas are on our Bucket List too. We just talked about Fort Jefferson with the Park Ranger at Fort Sumter in Charleston SC just over a week ago. Also thrilled that you are headed to Canada. Here in Nova Scotia, you'll pass just 2.5 miles from our welcoming front door on your way to the Newfoundland ferry, We can't wait to see you up here. We'll even teach you how to say Newfoundland. Michael & Amanda

Enjoy you guys.

We met a couple on a cruise a few years ago from Newfoundland. They told us it is New Found Land. :) Enjoy! love watching you two!

Went with my daughter on the boat called The Yankee Clipper….fabulous visit…we snorkeled…

We just visited the park via ferry last week. Sea state was low and ride was smooth - perfect weather too. The ferry fare also included a Fort Jefferson tour - highly informative - and left time for some snorkeling as well. And … the sandwich/lunch was a hit! Also included bagels for breakfast and inexpensive drinks (think Margaritas) on the ride back to Key West. Visiting a must do! (We’re also following you up the East Coast from here - only as far as DC though this time)

Rain water was filtered through layers of clean sand and empty shells before entering the cistern to provide high water quality.

Great video. I lived on Key West in the mid 80's for a few years and never made it to Dry Tortugas. About two weeks before I moved a friend was telling me I should buy a share in Mel's treasure hunt just for fun. It was $100 a share and I was moving to CA so I needed the gas money. Two days before I left for CA the radio station announced they found the treasure! I took my wife back to Key West to visit friends and toured Mel's treasure - that's mind blowing; a must do if you are visiting Key West. Thanks for sparking the memories.

You can also take your own boat there. We used to anchor out in front of the fort. Some people take a tent (if they have a smaller boat) and camp at the fort. Beautiful place.

Also check out Cape Spear. Its the furthest east point in North America. There is a beer made in NFLD that is made with water from ice bergs I'm sure you'll enjoy. Have fun and I'm looking forward to you're adventures.

I noticed that #297 on your bucket list is Istanbul TU. As a retired USAF E7 who was stationed there at a remote site for a couple of tours, Istanbul has a number of places to see and you’d have a great time but….you might enjoy Ephesus more. One of the 7 ancient wonders of the world is there, the temple of Artemis. The house of the Virgin Mary is not far away either. And of course the Library and theatre. I saw Diana Ross perform an HBO special while sitting on those marble steps! I was single at the time but now I can retrace my steps and share my past travels with my wife. A new bucket list for the 2 of us! Safe travels all! Cheers

We visited Dry Tortugas a few years ago by ferry. (I wanted to fly but was voted down because of the cost). Yes, Phil we got a sammich. Only problem was there was rough seas that day. They were selling Dramamine on the way out and were giving it away on the way back. Hubs and I did ok without it, but that boat ride was really memorable. Unfortunately, the water was stirred up and murky at the fort and we also opted not to snorkel even though there would have been time. Really looking forward to this video series.

We did this trip July 4th 2018 (my birthday weekend) and my brother in law jumped in to the "shot gun seat" in and out!!! And Phil..... a sam-ich!! No way, but a cocktail would do it!! LOL

We did the plane, and that was the best my wife gets seasick, and it was a rough day on the water. You can also see sharks ,turtles, and other sealife from the plane. The fort was great, but because of the rough water, snorkeling was not the best that day, definitely a must-see

great pro tip Phil

When traveling to Canada just before you cross-fuel up on the US side, it is much cheaper. Same with taking the ferry to Newfoundland. Look at the Navy fam camp Great Pond in Maine. This is a good stop. When in Rocky harbor Newfoundland make sure you get reservations for Gros Morne National Park, a boat ride in western Brook pond. Costco in Saint John is a good place to shop. While in Saint Anthony the boat ride whale watch/iceberg is again good time. I really enjoyed my time in Newfoundland

in canada in de french pro vice of Québec the name of Newfoundland is " terre Neuve " so it means new land recently discover so you really Newfoundland the way you are suppose to prononce the name. I wish you a nice trip.

I opted for the ferry ride to Dry Tortugas. Pro tip: take the plane if you get seasick easily. I do not get seasick, but lots of people did on the Yankee Freedom. They finally asked all the seasick people to go to the bottom floor, and the rest could stay on the top floor. It was still an amazing experience and hope to go back for snorkeling.

I'm not sure the condition now, as it was years ago when we visited. We chartered a sailboat and spent 10 days sailing out to the Tortugas from Key West. The advantage was of course 3 full days at the park, including time to visit Loggerhead Key. There used to be a coral reef formation on the back side of that key (the one with the lighthouse) called "Little Africa' for the shape of the coral when viewed by air. I've snorkeled all around the world including Australia, Belize, Malta, Costa Rica, etc. The snorkeling behind the lighthouse was the best I've seen. Of course this was almost 20 years ago now, and so some of that may be that it was in better shape than the coral I'm seeing now. But I'm glad you were able to visit, but skipping the snorkeling means you'll need to return.

We went to the Dry Tortuga’s a few years back and took the ferry. The samich was pretty good and had a snack on the way back. You missed out 😂

Alright, guys, another great stop. I always look at structures like ya'll did, how did they build something like that. Without engineering, without all the government meddling, labor disputes, OSHA, it's a wonder they got anything done. Stacy I believe your pronunciation of New Foundland is correct. At least, that's how an ignorant Texas guy says it. Looks like ya'll have big travel plans. Glad your taking us along with you. God bless ya'll and stay safe on the road guys.

Damn! I'm on the boat for the sammich!!! 🙂

I’m with Phil, the sammich is enough to sway me to take the ferry ⛴️

Great video, Dry Tortugas is on my list for this year. I have lived in South Florida since 1954 and have never been there yet. Where were you staying when you made this video? Being a South Florida resident it is hard to get a RV campground this time of year.
