We did this dinner cruise! The guy singing is amazing! He’s a big guy!!!
He is awesome! He absolutely makes the cruise what it is.
Planning our Key West vacation and came across your channel. Thanks for all the info and tips! Helps a ton.
You’re welcome. Hope you enjoy Key West as much as we did!!! We
You both are very good describing Key West. Super helpful for a first time traveler going there. Thank you
Thank you for the kind words. We’re glad we could help and hope you have a great time in Key West!! Get the Lobstah Roll!!!
Chris and Suzannah, you guys really covered a lot of things to do in Key West. The video from the parasailing is pretty freaking awesome! Now Key West is really on Shelley's bucket list for sure. Shell probably try to get ME to go parasailing. 🤣Thanks for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels.
Four weeks was a long time and we needed it to see so much. Yet we missed so many things. Would love to go back one day. Hope you guys get to go AND that Shelley gets you to go parasailing!!
Thank you so much for the very informative information. We now know we will need to stay more than one night.
Definitely need more than one night for Key West.
Found you today. Thank you for all the Key West information. We are looking forward to beginning our travels soon.
You’re welcome! Key West is so much fun and we can’t wait to go back!
This was very helpful, thanks! Y'all are great! You have that NPR Schwetty Balls vibe.
Thanks for the compliment. That is a hilarious skit!!!
Awesome information. We can’t wait to go there next year. 👍🏻
Book your RV site 6-months out at Sigsbee. Try doing it online before calling. Let’s just say that the people working there sometimes don’t actually check…but the system has all the info.
Thanks for the recommendations, some great Ideas, enjoyed listening to you two, such a nice couple, Life is Good!
Thank you for the kind words!!
Thank you! Fantastic video of Key West activities with personal insight! Just what I have been looking for as I research for our upcoming trip!
So happy we could help! Key West has so much to do and we didn’t even show all of it 😂. It’s also one of those places that stays with you after you leave and we can’t wait to go back. Have fun, enjoy the atmosphere and make sure you get Cuban Coffee Queen in the mornings. It’ll get you going for any adventure! -Chris & Suzanna
Love this video! Def helping us plan for our Feb trip
We’re so glad we were able to help. This video really just scratches the surface of all the things you can do in Key West. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do!
Great video. Going in March. So excited!
Thank you. Hope you enjoy the area as much as we do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this wonderful video. It has given me so many ideas.
You're such a lovely family.
May Creator bless and keep you.
🌞
Thank you so much! We hope you enjoy Key West as much as we did. We can’t wait to go back!!
Well Done!
Thank you.
Be well.
Thank you
Nice video! We absolutely love the keys and Key West. Now that being said, I have to say that we are disappointed at the massive void in the middle of the country on your RV map! 😂😂😂
😂😂 we’ve been disappointed in it too. We had plans to change all that this summer but some major life changes are happening and it will have to wait.
great video Thank you
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching
I love Key West, I was down there for 6 months for work and when I wasn't working I was exploring Key West!!! There is so much more to do down there then what you posted!! You are correct, it's family oriented. So many shops and restaurants and they even have my favorite, Hard Rock Cafe' !!! There is something for everybody!!
That sounds like a great job! We did a lot more than we put in the video but we think the best thing about Key West is the laid back atmosphere. It’s so relaxing.
Love how you also show the photos ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you like them!
@@HintonTheTrail ,Going to Key West this month thanks for this video. Will be taking grandkids so this really helped.
That’s awesome! You’ll have a great time.
Four Westin Key West! Y’all must be trillionares🦩🥊
No, we boondocked at the military campground. I think it was $27 a night when we went. Cheaper than your standard RV park.
Y'all hit a LOT of points on this video. The most interesting was the 140 miles to Walmart. I can't believe they haven't figured out how to squeeze a Small-Mart out there, LOL. Is there a Dollar General? those are everywhere.
I don’t remember seeing a Dollar General down there but they have just about everything else! When you ask about Walmart the locals just don’t want it. Ha ha
The Green Flash ... It's just science.
Yeh, but sometimes a little imagination makes for a better story.
Very informative. Ty so much. I'm planning a trip in the next few months. What month did you guys go?
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it. We were there all of Feb ‘22.
Really enjoyed your video. I would love to go tp Key West. I was wondering where you stay when you are there? I live in Sacramento CA, so I would have to fly there.
We stayed on Sigsbee. It’s a Navy Base so if you have access you can use it. Great prices but have to book at least 6 months out.
Key West is so great and there are endless things to do. We did a ton in our 4-weeks there but couldn’t hit it all. Have you been?
This is a great video!! We live in Maine as well and are planning a trip to Key West around December. You have given us a lot of options to look at. Any thoughts on hotels? I see you had your camper.
We were in our RV for most of the time staying at the Sigsbee campground. We stayed a week in the Navy lodging. If someone in your party is a veteran you should look at that option. There is no more affordable lodging than that.
A lot of the action is down toward the southern part of the island. The restaurants, bars, places to see, etc. But nothing is really far away no matter where you stay.
Hello Maine from Minnesota. Thank you for sharing this video. We're planning to go to Key West this summer in our class A. I plan to stay in Honda State Park. We did not hear where you parked your rig ? It seems your family takes activities every day .Was it easy for an RV campground on key West?
Hello Minnesota!!
We stayed at a age Sigsbee Navy RV park. Military and prior military can stay there but you have to book 6+ months in advance. There aren’t a lot of RV parks down there so plan early (although summer is less crowded).
We actually boondocked for a month so we did a lot of things but also had a lot of downtime. There is so much to do, it’s beautiful, there’s amazing food, it’s just such a cool place. We hope you enjoy yourselves!!!
Thank you , it is very well covered , do you recommend to book the water sports in advance ?
If you’re able to get things booked in advance we recommend that. If you want to go to the Dry Tortugas you need to book that months in advance. We failed to do that and missed out.
If you’re wanting to do multiple water activities contact the company ahead of time and see about a discount as well.
Found this sight after I had been to key west twice and missed most of of the heat sights.
You could go to Key West many times and still find something new.
Saw my future son-in-law at 9:25 during the kayak tour
That’s cool!
I want to go parasail, but how did you get video of the you while doing it?
Suzannah carried our GoPro Max up there. The camera pole she used had a wrist strap you can tighten down…but her death grip pretty much kept it safe. 😂😂
I like the back group map with the States,is that hand made?
No, it something we got off of Amazon. They have different versions and you just add the States as you visit them
Thanks for prompt reply and greetings from Australia liked and subscribed
You’re welcome. Where at in Australia? We visited back in in 2015. Cairns, Sydney, & Melbourne. We really enjoyed the trip and the people.
@@HintonTheTrail Melbourne we are heading back for a vacation in October and always wanted to get to Key West so this video a great help
We hope you make it to the Keys. It’s a fun place!
There's a 2 mile long beach by the airport not at the Fort, like you said Smathers Beach and it is free.
We saw that while taking the hop on/hop off bus and it looked great. Free is always good!
Where did u stay I’m looking for an affordable place to stay, but would like to be near a beach what’s your suggestion?
We stayed on the Navy base at the Sigsbee Campground. If you were prior military you may be able to get access. We boondocked for a month because they have a very limited number of full hookup sites. You need to reserve about 6-months ahead because it’s so popular.
There are some state parks in the Keys as well so you may try there.
Surprising there are only like 3 real beaches in Key West. One is in a state park. The other two are near hotels which are pretty expensive.
Where did you all stay while you were there?
We were in our RV staying at the Sigsbee campground.
A1A highway south,
Traffic traffic traffic. Ha ha
Music WAY too loud for hearing impaired as distinguishing sound is key
Thank you for letting us know.
Know thats its over priced and not worth going to......just a tourist trap now
It was very busy and expensive but we enjoyed it and would go back.
Kids don't belong in Key West
There are a lot of activities for kids in Key West and if you look around at events, etc and locations of certain things happening you can avoid more adult things.
@@HintonTheTrail I'm not saying there aren't things for them to do, I'm saying they don't belong there. Bring them to Orlando or the coast. Key West was an adult playground for decades. It's being ruined by the strollers and teenagers.
Suzannah I laughed so hard when you were parasailing 🪂 😊there is so much to do in Key West. The food tour looked like fun. Might have to do it the next time. We are also hoping to hit Dry Tortugas. We said the next time we will rent a scooter or golf cart to get around. Thanks for another informative video.
There is about 20 minutes for screaming footage. But in the end it was a lot of fun…but she wont do it again. 😂😂
The food tour was a really great way to see the town in a different light.
Scooters would be the way to go if you don’t have kids. They’re fun, easy to find parking for, and cheap compared to the golf carts. Thanks for watching!!
@@HintonTheTrail just watched the parasailing again lol didn’t hear the first time when Corbin said it’s going to be ok mom
He was very supportive. 😂😂
@@HintonTheTrail lol
