Dude, I never comment on anybody's KZread posts, but as a born and bred native south Floridian who lives in Miami and frequents the Florida Keys every other weekend, this was one of the most comprehensive, enjoyable videos of my hometown I have ever seen on KZread. Phenomenal job on this! God bless you and your Pops. Treasure the time you have together!! I only wish I would have done this with my dad to have these kind of memories on video forever.

You probably already know this but you really won’t “know” how precious your travels with your pops is to you both! When he’s gone, you’ll still have him literally with you by way of videos and memories ! I’m so happy for you! Beautiful video too (as always!)

Impressive footage. Very comprehensive narration, presentation and edit of your daily activities in Florida. Your Dad must be a history buff himself. His presence adds flavor to the journey itself. Enjoy your time with your Dad. Thanks for sharing.

As a native Floridian, I would like to congratulate You and your Dad for an outstanding VLOG on Miami, the Keys, Key West, and Fort Jefferson! I have watched many others, but yours has been the best. This one, and the one y’all made on Route 66, from Calif. to Chicago, are my two favorites. Keep up the good work!

I really love this video. You and your pops are so lucky to have this time to travel together! Since you've done an amazing job researching all the different places, I'm just going to follow your itinerary when I visit Miami and Key West next week! Keep up the good work!

Spicy mustard is a must for a turkey sandwich! Just had to give my two cents, lol. I also just stumbled upon this video. i got sucked in! I live in Florida and watched the whole thing! I am definitely going to go check out some of the spots that you went to. Hope you enjoyed your time here!

My husband and I worked in Everglades National Park. And the vultures can destroy a car very quickly. The tarps don't help much. And will shred a convertible top in no time. Hope you enjoyed tge Everglades!!! I managed Flamingo Marina for years and I loved the beauty of the glades. The manatees were my favorite.

I grew up in Key Largo and I LOVE Mrs. Mac's, but the best Breakfast in the Upper Keys (aside from the obvious morning-time sunrise beer and eggs at the Lorelai) would be at Harriette's with their Key Lime Muffins! I'm sad it's too expensive down there for people born and raised in the keys to actually live down there but whenever I'm down there visiting I always try to hit up my old haunts.

What a great video! I am a native Miamian. Your dad made me laugh so much him inside that shark on the side of the road to Key West. 🙏🌴Yes!! to Mustard on the Turkey sandwich. 😋

This is so crazy. Just weeks before I crossed the continent to bucket list Route 66, you release that video. Then just DAYS after booking my first tip to the Keys in over a decade, you put out this! You and your pops are an AMAZING travel duo! You have such fun chemistry and I love seeing the country with you two just before I make my own travels following your footsteps! OMG AND YOU JUST PUT OUT SHANENDOA WHICH IS MY FAVE NATIONAL PARK!!! I love you guys! This trip to the Keys is gonna be the best 30th birthday ANYONE ever had!!!!!

Looks like y’all had a great time! Now you have me craving pie and yes Mustard on Turkey sandwich is 👍👍

Highly agree with Pop's description of gator

I love the relationship you have with your dad.

Awesome videos! Love the Pops and Son Vibe!♥️👏😩

Brother ! the most honest travel show host. Such a treat to watch

Been watching some of your videos and really enjoy them. My mother is currently suffering the end stages of cancer and it keeps me close to her. Can't go traveling and it's been long time due. I like how you have such a good bond with your dad, that's very special and more so as you share these awesome adventure together. Seen your Route 66 video, the Utah trip, Blue Ridge Parkway and now this one. Sometimes i forget to like them because my mind is still with yous on your trips...srry for that. Thank you for sharing your experiences and definitely looking forward visiting your country. So much beautiful land and culture. Grtz from Belgium.

Wow, I always love your trips. You are great presenter and nice to see how you love to go for trips with your father. You are so lucky. Thank you so much.

I grew up in miami on Biscayne Bay and the Julia Tuttle Causeway ( beach-airport) My mother often took us to the glades back when (the 50s) all they had was primitive boardwalks and Purple Gallinules would eat from our hands. Fairchild Garden was not overly developed then. Entrance was free and I spent a lot of time there just wandering or sitting and reading a book. Miami, then, was a wonderful place to grow up. This was like a trip home. Thank you.

So Hyped to see this!! the full road trip episodes are my favorite. I love seeing you and pops reviewing food! You guys should do that more often!!

My husband and I have been camping every year out at Fort Jefferson for 13 years we take the ferry and all our gear for the 3 nights and four days they allow. It is a paradise.

11:49 Knowing Florida, the rule is "you may wrestle the gators, but only during gator wrestling hours. Waivers are in the main office" 😆

What a pleasure to see these places. I’m home bound and I’ve always wanted to go to Key West, Miami and the Everglades. Dry Tortuga was incredible. You researched your trip so well-all the museums, parks and eateries. Very well put together. Your voice is relaxing to listen to. Thanks for taking us with you and your Pops!

It is actually nice to watch a Florida tour video that does not involve Disney and outlets.

Been to the Keys several times. I love it. Spent 5 nights in the tortugas camping over new years 1999-2000. One of my favorite trips ever! Great video as always!

Brilliant. I just love your videos. We visit the USA from London, UK every year and your presentations are invaluable. Thanks.

Yes, mustard on a turkey sandwich. I’ve always wanted to visit Florida, your experiences really helped me narrow down which places I’d like to visit.

I love all of your videos. You bring the true visitor to the area, stopping and enjoying the tourist spots on the way. The commentary on what to enjoy, what is worth the price, and where to eat is always interesting without being drawn out or overdone. Thank you very much for all you do. I enjoy these all, and can travel without leaving home vicariously through all of your wonderful videos. Two thumbs up!

What a great road trip!! I especially enjoyed the trip out to the Fort. You're enabling us to visit places that we won't be able to see otherwise. I also love that you don't talk for periods of time so that we can enjoy just the scenery. The interaction between you and your dad is really wonderful. And by the way, **NO** mustard on turkey sandwiches!! None!

ive watched a handful of your trip videos and watching you two brings tears to my eyes. i wish i had even a fraction of your relationship with my own father. its a beautiful thing. its so important to have this kind of bond with your pops. he should be real damn proud of himself for raising such a great son. i hope one day my father and i run into you two, so i can give you both a hug for pushing me to keep working on a better relationship with my father. bless.

Amazing Video! Many Thanks! Beautiful Florida

This helped me planned our trip to the Keys! The videos show what a special bond you and your dad have too. What a blessing ❤

I'm glad that you brought up the National Park Visitor's Center and their passport stamps. I always buy a couple of their best NP scenic postcards, hit them with their stamp, retrieve a couple of postage stamps from my wallet, stamp them, and then drop them in their mailbag. Nice mementos. I used to teach Geology of National Parks, have visited over half of them, but not Dry Tortugas. THANK YOU!!! "Your safety IS YOUR responsibility" should not have to be on a sign! COMMON SENSE! I have just discovered your site and truly appreciate your quiet, respectful, and well photographed videos. Too many 'visitors' are just noisy and rude. Thank you!

My husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in the Keys, flying into Miami. I loved this video, and me and your Pops have a lot in common.... 1st the car (gotta be easy to get in) don't care for caves, won't catch me on a Ferris Wheel, I don't do heights if I can help it (if I do make it, you won't catch me looking over..lol) . I got so many good tips from you and your Pops. Love, love, love

I love your videos with your dad, they are beautiful and I love the interaction between both of you ❤️

We are traveling to Miami and Key West next month and stumbled across your video by accident. It's soooo informative, I took several notes and now have our "must-do" list. Thank you! And how amazing to do this with your Dad, what a blessing!

I went to Key West and other islands in the 1970s. You choose a good time to go. We snorkeled alot when we went. I remember the bridges seemed long. My cousin lived there for a while recently as he was in the Coast Guard. I remember sea urchins and lots of small fish. the ocean was beautiful there. Your dad favors Dr. Gundry. Thank you so much!

Pop in the shark, instant iconic, those were the best poses ever! I just about died when I saw Pop's In n' Out shirt! I am native CA and whenever I go home I eat one...or two every single day and I can be there for over a month at a time!

Thanks for much for this one! We did the Shark Valley tour last Spring due to your visit there with Pops! Look forward to going there again!

Had fun watching your trip w pop in Florida. 😊 thanks, happy travels.

It’s always the old fashion way when the weather is bad it’s bad ! It’s the break of the weather . Between Summer and fall ? It’s the good between the good and the bad !

This is the first time I’ve seen your blogs. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this trip to FL. I grew up in FL. In the 1950’s. My parents moved our family to Michigan in the last ‘60’s. BIG change! I have been back to visit, but never to live. 🥹🥲 Now you are visiting Alaska! One place I’ve never wanted to visit! I’m now living in NC. Not as good as FL. but much better than MI.
