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

Thank you!
Free in my RV... that tune is permanently in my head now. My brain digs it!
These Florida RV trips (especially the keys) do stay my favorite videos :D
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.
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.
Thank you for going up all those stairs in the lighthouse and filming the view for us.

Ya . . . and saved your viewers $10, in the process ! 😇
Finding your childhood phone # in the old phone book was pretty cool.
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! 👏
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

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.
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!

@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.

@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 ! 🇺🇸
I can never get enough of the Key West Videos! Love them!
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!
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.

Hope you get the chance to visit someday, I too want to visit England someday.
The whistle bar on Duvall..yep I've had a drink up on the balcony. Spanish Colonial style architecture..cool.
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.
Your channel is very good reminds of the travel channel when it had travel on it. Very good commentary!

Another amazing visit of Key West! Great views underwater, sunsets, drone, etc. etc. Tank you very much for all your work Robert !
I love the keys. Wish I could live there all year round. Out of all your videos, these are my favorite.

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.
incredible well done video. I saw things I never saw before and I have gone to key west since the early 70s.
Thank you for all the sights. I'm retired and looking to live somewhere in the Keys that I can offerd with my wife and son. I watch your videos once in awhile to dream.
Golden tones narrator, videographer, expert drone pilot . . . quite a resume!
another sleepless nite so decided to walk down memory lane...my daughter and i lived in key west for a little over a year but decided it wasnt where i wanted to raise her...so moved to marathon and from there to clearwater beach...spent 3 years in florida but couldnt take the stifling humidity and headed back to arizona...many fond memories but glad to be back home
My family from Alsace Loraine was shipwrecked on the Florida reefs in 1843. They were taken by lighter boat to Key West and decided to live there. As the family expanded thru generations they moved to Lemon City (Miami) and Coconut Grove. I was raised in the house they built on Bayshore Drive (originally beach front property) and Tigertail Road. Their homes (2) in the PBS show THIS OLD HOUSE were rebuilt and televised. Growing up in Coconut Grove in the fifties was really fun. Life sure was different back then. It’s still fun to visit Key West like a tourist.
I went to Margaritaville with my family a few years ago, pleasantly surprised.
lol "more cameras then a Vegas casino" Key West drinking tour looks to be a success. Travel safe fellow Cuban.
So many impressions from this nice place. Like it! Thanks!
This was wonderful and brought back many happy memories.
Love these videos when you're traveling throughout Florida. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been 👇 there twice & enjoyed my solo adventures. Great video 👍🏻
What a great video. Been there once. Can't wait to return. Thanks Robert!
What a great bunch of videos! Robert is a fantastic tour guide!
Mile markers to the restroom, hilarious 🤣🤣
Great video - thanks for the tour. And that was wonderful footage and drone view at the end.
Glad you finally made it to the lighthouse. Looked like a fun weekend trip ❤
Great video Robert my favourite Key West one yet. You’ve given me many places to add to my list when we visit next year.
Keep on talking Robert!!! You could talk about algebra and I would still listen for hours. Talk about Key West and I’m hooked for life!!!
Well you brought back the memories today my friend,I lived in Key West in the 90's,, Thank you ,,great video.
again thank you for sharing, have been in s. fla. for 18 years and yet to get to the keys, but can enjoy it thanks to you...
Wow this reminds me of my home Grand Cayman especially the beach at the ending of the video with the casuarina trees. We have lovely beaches white powdery sands. I'm feeling a little nostalgic watching this video.
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!

Feel free to take a few home with you as well as a dozen or so iguanas !!! They make good pets
My sister lived in KW for 25 years. I used too take my children down from Tampa every summer for Lobster Fest. What a blast. We would go diving for Lobster and see all the sights and join in all the fun. Everyone is friendly and there is so much to do and see.
In these times of severely restricted travel, these vlogs are great to keep you going. Can’t wait to get back to The Florida Keys. Cheers to you Robert for these reminders of such beautiful parts, Steven (UK) 🌅
Can't wait to visit!!!
Love your commentary.... awesome drone video at the end.
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
Love this traveling with Robert . He’s so nice and fun . Would love to meet Robert and hear more about his travels .
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.
Lived in FL from 1999 to 2015. LOVED it!! I’d love to go back for good.
thanks so much Robert...beautiful tour & narration. I love Key West.
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.
Great video Robert. Its been a while, But we will make our way back to Key West.
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.
Just discovered your videos....anxious to see them all!
Fantastic video brings back a lot of happy memories from my visits to Key west.
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!
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.
Thank you, it’s been along time since I’ve been there this makes it better!
Another great video again👍👍
what a amazing place. thank you for the video. definitely adding this area to our bucket list. the food looked delicious
Always look forward to your Key West videos, thanks for uploading!

Magnificent sunset.
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!
Meson De Pepe, My favorite place to chill.... Great Video....
Wonderful music. The beginning reminds me Fleetwood Mac: Big Love. Something similar with rhythm. I enjoyed the video. I put Key West on my have to see list.
Love watching your videos. You are showing me places I would love to visit or have visited and you bring back memories. Hopefully I can live a similar life in a few years when I retire.
Just stumbled on your channel. Love it! Thanks for the fantastic videos
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Enjoyed your video! The Keys are on the bucket list! Thank you for the tour!
Beautiful as always. tfs!
Great vid my friend. I was there only once, and loved it. This makes me want to go back again soon. Keep up the good work.
Great video Robert! (As usual) You really capture the moment!
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.
Another great video Robert, greeting
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.

As always great video, and tips, I am going to Miami next month and planning to visit Key West again. Thanks
Another great video. The Key West Lighthouse always has the best souvenirs from local artists. You don’t need to pay to get to the gift shop and you have great photo ops along the way! Love the hop on and off trolley. The pelican almost cooperated with “the fly pelican fly”. Wayne and Carrie
A floating Tiki Bar! Now I've seen everything. Love your voice, husky, funny, just enough talk and no more. Love the commentary about historical places, the slower pace and the small ambience shots like the rooster and chickens - such a laid back peaceful place. If it were not for tourists, it would be very quiet and sleepy. Love your tours and savoring this one. Keep making them please! I want to know everything about Florida, Miami, and the South. Must visit soon as Covid lifts. I also appreciate the RV tips as I plan to RV down there all the way from CA!
Thank You Robert for this great video! I like your florida videos most...
I do hope someday you'll go fishing from Key West..Great video..
Love the honesty about the food.👍
Great stuff. Love the thought of the Southernmost point in the US.
Robert I miss your keys excursions, it's what got me hooked on your channel. Please don't wait to do the keys again in total, Please. Thanks, Tom and Kerolina

Every time, Robert, I hear you say that the servers in a particular restaurant was incredibly “in a bad mood” my heart sinks. I am so sorry for anyone in this America you so love, and are such a blessing in, should treat you any other way but kind. 🇺🇸💐
Que bello video sobre Cayo Hueso, gracias señor Robert. Verdad que tu éres un guía turísta ! :)
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.
wow putting the keys on our bucket list. You had one awesome camp site right on the water.....thanks for taking us a long Robert

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)
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.
I've been to Key west back in 2001 absolutely loved it it was a wonderful place. Also Dry tortegous fort Jefferson 70 miles out in the ocean went snorkeling there. The water was so green blue. Key largo & daytona beach was awesome too. At sunset on duvall street there are street performers I got a full body massage it wasn't cheap but had a vacation of a lifetime. I so miss it & would love to someday go back. Great video, thank you for sharing.✌ 🙂👍
You make very good videos, Robert. Really enjoy them. Excellent presentations. Thank you
