    Of all the places to eat and foods to try, in Key West, you pick a Denny's?

      +Bruce McIntyre Each to his own Bruce. Eric is from the Pacific NW. So, seafood is not a big treat for him. And I don't think he wants to spend mucho-bucks eating out. It's hard to find good Mom and Pop cheap places to eat these days.

    Years ago, I was in the Bahamas for a week by myself. It was such a romantic and beautiful place, shame not to be able to share the experience. I was surrounded by honeymoon couples, and was feeling mighty lonely. Usually, I prefer to travel alone, however there have been a few exceptions. I could imagine you would have had more fun at Key West if you had some company. Still looks like you're having a great time! Great video, especially seeing Hemmingway's. Safe travels....

  • @billfoertch6375
    @billfoertch6375 8 лет назад

    Eric, I CAUTION you against walking "JAX" on dry or dead grass area's. There are what is called SAND SPURS all over Fla.. They are small but it's like walking on cactus and they stick to your skin. Sometimes very hard to pull out. Same goes for your walking bare footed. Very painful. Safe travels for both of you. {Previously lived in Fla. for some 20yrs as both a civilian and private citizen as well as the USNavy in Jax}.

  • @happyhighway106

    Mr. Jacob,
    Very nice video about old Key West. E. Hemingway had a favorite bar there, too! On Mackinaw Island, Michigan, he used to frequent the Mustang Bar, just off of Main Street. You need to check out Mackinaw Island, I think you will find it fun, also!

  • @takayama1638
    @takayama1638 8 лет назад

    Nice! Eric, please go to those two key lime pie places, both which claim to be the original and best. That's on my kick the bucket list. Oh, and NEVER change your closing song, etc. Actually, I wish you'd go back to your original, a year or so ago one. Think about it - we recognize the tunes of TV shows we like and associate those tunes forever with those shows. Old ones like Andy Griffith show, etc., and new ones too. Thanks!

  • @dechinta
    @dechinta 8 лет назад

    I'd have been asking "Can I pay extra and swim in the pool?"
    My stove is almost exactly like that, even has a light that lights up the stovetop. Had an electrical outlet in the middle of the front. My grandfather had a new house built for my grandmother in the 50's and when she died in 1957, my parents bought the house and I grew up there. When my parents died in their 90's, I bought a brand new stove for their house in exchange for their stove because it held so many memories of my beloved Daddy cooking (He was a fire fighter and when he retired, he took over all the cooking.) I got the cheapest new stove Lowe's had, but the realtor said it would help sale the house. Anyway, the most perfect stove is mine now and it cooks perfectly. I even have the little booklet that came with it because my parents and grandparents never threw anything away.
    Amazing that Jax will walk on a leash! When I had a cat, I tried to get him to walk on a leash, but when I put it on him, he would lie down like he was dead. I'd pull him across the carpet but he didn't move. Just dead. I'm not sure what he thought that was accomplishing, but it accomplished what he wanted.....he never had to wear a leash.

    Cool video's. I've been watching for a few month's. We just got a 34 foot class A and will be doing a lot of camping in the near future. As much as I enjoy the travel-channel type style you have switched to in recent months, I really preferred the more day-to-day stuff. Whoever told you to stop filming yourself eating was wrong. My favorite video of yours is the old boondocking one where you are going from spot to spot, eating food and playing with your cat. I want to know what life is like in your new RV. How is it working out for you? More day to day stuff please! I want to know how often and where you dump. Where you get water. Do you use a water filter? What are you eating day to day and why? What stores well? What do you buy at Walmart? Where else do you shop? Who sells good RV stuff? People are watching your videos to get an idea what traveling in an RV is like. Disneyland is pretty, but it is the RV I care about.

    Fisheye lens with all the warping kind of wore me out. Otherwise, your last two videos have been fine. I wish you'd discuss a little more about WHERE you were able to boondock in the Keys. When I've been there I figured I'd get a 3am wake up from the guys/gals in blue if I even tried it on a public street.

  • @donnysiii5111
    @donnysiii5111 8 лет назад

    Next time you go to Key West, check out the sunset celebration on Mallory Square. I believe they have it every evening at sunset, but I could be wrong about that. You will find all the street performers doing their thing and it'really a fantastic time. The wife and I went there about 10 years ago and I'm looking forward to going back. Thanks for the video!

    I know you're very careful about where you park but do you ever worry that the RV might get towed with Jax inside while you're checking out a new town? I think that would be in the back of my mind whenever I left to explore. If it did get towed, how quick could you find out where it was towed and get back to Jax? I would always be a nervous wreck thinking about that.
