Thank you Mr Robert . Tu nous fait voyager a travers toute les Etats-Unis & tu nous fait rêver aussi de l'amérique que c'est magnifique . Merci Robert Traveling.
Glad you enjoyed the music, and enjoyed the Space Coast! It is a great place to live and play music! (I was singing in the second band you caught.)
Good morning Robert! My husband and I just discovered your CZcams channel and are enjoying watching your past videos. This one about Cocoa Beach was particularly of interest to me as I grew up in Florida and my father was stationed at the Air Force Base there. We spent a lot of time on the coast and it brought back so many fond memories. Your videos are always so entertaining and relaxing, I always feel as if I have just been on vacation after I watch them!
Gooooood morning!!! Am I the only one who never got tired of seeing a rocket launch?
Never gets old, although I think the old shuttles were more dramatic.More flames and smoke. New rockets seem more lean and efficient.
Never. And I have lived in the area my whole
Life
Hell No! I live in the area and could watch them all day. I live it when the rocket takes off and my windows shake. So Awesome!
I watch every chance I get.
i walk around here all the time literally like every place this man steps is where i go multiple times a week. I love Cocoa beach!!!
Its SO heartening that people are still interested in technology and space. Great vid.
I used to live here. I loved everything about Florida
Where do you live now?
I needed to see some traveling Robert to cheer me up after taking care of many patients, and ones who are no longer with us it’s so depressing. I so happen to start watching through my lens, nice but I needed to hear Robert Sing lol thank you Robert for taking my mind away from work😊
Thanks for sharing your trip. I always enjoy seeing more Florida in your videos. My grandma used to live in Tampa Bay and my cousin and aunt lives in Gainsville. See you on the road next time! 😊🤟🏻
I have commented before on some of your videos. My Father lived for almost 20 years in Cape Canaveral. His cousin still lives in Satellite Beach, he is a WWII veteran.
One Other cousin lives in St James City. I visited in 1997 and wow has that place grown! I wonder if Ron Jon's has a post office in the building still??July and so many cars and visitiers........ FLA and AZ have grown immensely!
I need to get back to the ocean again before I kick! The desert has it's charms but the ocean and WATER!....Thanks for the videos Robert!
I loved seeing Cocoa Beach I would like to hang out there for awhile ,looks like a good time .😊 Thanks again Robert for showing it
Nice trip, enjoyed the video. From Miami, now in Philippines, good to see Florida again. Thanks for sharing
Witnessed an early morning shuttle launch back in 1984 when my brother worked for NASA. Amazing sight! There were no visitor tours back then that I remember. Have been to Houston and Huntsville where my brother retired from NASA 5 years ago. Both are awesome!
A drive by the cruise ships at the port is always a cool sight. Victory Casino Cruises is a fun day cruise that won't break the bank.
Robert, once again I have to say what a Excellent Excellent video of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. I used to live there and know the place very well. I personally could not have done any better than you did in portraying it to your subscribers.
Darn, you are good !!! Keep up the great work Brother !!!
Right Dave:). I learned more about New Orleans in Roberts video than living here my entire life❤ He's truly amazing💕😍
Look at the Pelican, fly pelican !!!
I spent a week in Cocoa in 2012. I stayed at the Hilton where I was going to have a great view of the rocket launch that was scrubbed, thankfully the day before so we didn't wake up in the middle of the night for nothing. If you're visiting the area, I recommend going to Lone Cabbage, which is inland off of 528. They have airboat rides on the St. John's River where you can see alligators and pink flamingos, and when you're done you can have alligator meat at the snack bar.
Bunny hopping again!!!!
This is the content I have been waiting for from you Robert! So tired of the desert videos~! More Florida coastline and beaches please!
My home area! Never gets old seeing the rockets and even when the shuttles were around. Great views!
Gotta say I love these Florida videos :D
During this launch we were off shore on a cruise ship returning to port and the rocket passed over us. Really nice to see a launch from to ocean side as we’ve seen several from land.
Please Head's up Robert time for a road Trip north away from the weather . Button down and leave before the road's get to busy. Great reason to have an RV. Better and safer then a shelter. Prayers for Florida.
That was so awesome , finally seeing a launch without media coverage. Thanks.
I'm lucky to live about an hour from the space coast. One of my favorite places.
I was there this year!!! It was our first time in Floriday, and our first time experiencing a rocket launch!!! We loved it so much! Floriday is a MUST if you visit the U.S.A 👍👍
FYI It's Florida.
I love Grills. Great seafood and atmosphere.
Glad you are back in FL!!! I live in FL...and i never get tired of your FL videos.
Thanks for the fresh view, I have lived in Cocoa Beach for so long, sseeing ir through your eyes was just what I needed!
Miss my old stomping grounds. Lived in Orlando 96. Went to Cocoa Beach as often as possible. Thank you for taking me back. Moving back down soon - starting my own RV adventure doing route 66 right after Graceland
That Camp Ground is called "Carr's Park" by the locals. I LOVE living here.
Very enjoyable Robert! I visited Cape Kennedy in 1970! lol. Love this man. Your the best.
I lived in winter haven Florida back in 2001 we rented a ocean front Condo it was so beautiful at Daytona beach loved it there. Great video Robert, thank you! 🙂👍🌻
Great shot of the rocket, etc. etc.
Gooooood morning Robert! I hope that your trip out West is going well. I believe that you are in the PNW still. Thank you for the new video. I never get tired of seeing the great state of Florida. Have a great day, and remember that you are always in our prayers. Fly pelican, fly! 🌴😎👍
Thank you... soon driving back east
Sitting here, watching you on the East Coast, and i STILL have "Driving to the West" playing in my head. Catchy tune! :-)
My neck of the woods ... Great job! I saw a musician in Cocoa Village that I know plus place that I would want to go shopping. You film two places that I have worked as well. One would think you were a local.
Great Video Robert! Love your upbeat music especially at Riki Tiki bar. Has anybody ever said anything about Cocoa Beach and the 1960's TV show "I Dream of Jeannie"?? My favorite is checking out waterfront restaurants with live music. Keep going to those fun places! Thanks again.
Good Morning, Robert. That was fun and in the video you can't feel the humidity. The last time I was there it was right after a shuttle disaster and things were pretty rundown. There was a definite feeling of absence. They had all the space shuttle exhibits draped in sheets.
Love the Indian River area. I remember... as a REALLY LITTLE kid stopping to get grapefruit along the river .. WAY before rt. 95 came along.
Watching that took me back to when I was a child watching the Apollo space ships
Subscribed! Just passed you on I-5 lol. Keep up the awesome traveling videos!
That's what I'm talking about! So good to see you vloging from the east coast closer to your home base of Miami. So many interesting sights! No one does a launch better than you. Loved the pier with all the hustle and bustle. Very fun! 🙌
I love the collective gasp of everyone around you as the rocket lifted off.
great as always
NASA had a little cafe there called "the Lunch Pad." LOL I was over at my Aunt's house a few times and could see the shuttles going up ( at night ) from her house in Lake Wales. Neat.
Great video Robert. Next time in that area check out Jetty Park camp ground. It is located towards the ocean from Grill's. I have camped there several times and it is a short walking distance to the ocean. Full hookups as well as boondocking are available at Jetty Park.
Thanks Robert. We are vacationing in Cocoa Beach in June 2021
Even with the 'new normal', this area is a great place to live and of course visit. Great video 👍🌴😎
Love your vids Robert. We just got home from Topsail Hill Preserve State Park near Destin in the panhandle. We were there for 2 weeks. What a great place! If you haven’t checked it out you need to!👍🏻
Hello Robert. New Subscriber here. My 8yr old daughter and I really enjoy the channel. Nice to see a real RV channel, aswell a fellow musician. My daughter sings, me and my rv. lol. Safe Travels
Love Cocoa Beach. I used to live on Cocoa Beach.
Another great video Robert....Thanks for sharing. Take care and be safe.
I live 2 hrs away and only visited the place once but cocoa beach has history with the space program.
Love your guys videos so relaxing to watch!
What a treat to see you exploring my hometown and old stomping grounds! Thanks for the quick visit home!
Loved the fun trip to Cocoa !
Thanks for the up close view of the rocket launch and thanks for your beautiful description bro🌮🍟🍻 never knew a surf shop
like it existed
Thank very much Robert, disfruto todos sus videos!!!!!!!!!!GRACIAS
Great video Robert..Space Coast is one of my favorite areas in the state...
Sunday funday, another video from Robert! Greetings from the Netherlands
How amazing!
Very good and successful the rocket launch. For many years I was a space fanatic.From that fanaticism came your middle name. Now I'am fan of knowing the Planet Earth. Good video. Keep up and go ahead>>> MOM
Heading to COCOA Beach area for spring break for a few days later
Hello from Tuscumbia Alabama
That was beyond cool. ❤
Very cool video it looks like you have fun at every travel destination
Very cool video Robert. Night Rocket launch was very cool.
Nice video. I'm over there all the time. It was like you're tracing my steps walking on the pier to the end. The restaurants at the port and the pier have live entertainers all the time. I think they go from one place to another every few days.
I love Cocoa Beach any time I go to Disney I drive there.
Cool video. Was nice to see. My first trip to Florida 20 years ago was on this exact trip. Space center to surf shop lol beautiful place
Thanks. I used to live there. The shuttle launches back then were amazing. I subscribed.
Great!!!
Robert, I’m jealous of how many rocket launches you’ve been to. Great video! #bucketlist 🚀
i go to the resort at coco beach for 2 weeks every spring i love it there
You are the best.. great video again

AA++ Robert! I am in the new #Apollo11 film doc. standing on the shoreline in front of JCPennys!
Great video. This was really cool.
I'm impressed. It's VERY hard to get the kind of pass you had. I mean I live here and get to go in often, but you gotta have an in.
It was really good,
Very Nice Area
I like your videos very much. It seems I'm traveling with you. Love from Thailand.
You drove by Teen Missions in Merritt Island. I worked with them when I was a teen in the 90s.
Great video
