Thanks for the tips and suggestions! 😃 Hoping my vlog will take me overseas this year 👍😊
Thank you for watching! I hope you get overseas with your vlog as well. Where are you from?
@@ThePlanetD thanks for the pin! ❤ I'm from the UK, only started my channel last month 😊
@@BrendanExplores Congratulations on starting your channel, you are going to have a blast. And luckily, there are so many things to do in the UK, you do a lot of travel videos in your own back yard. Cheers!
@@ThePlanetD yeh it's rich in history and historic buildings 😊 thank you for the well wishes! 👍 Loving your videos!
Thank you very much indeed! I’ve had a fascination for the Florida Keys after this adoptee, 45 years later, discovered my birth mother lived and grew up there.
You are very welcome! I am so glad that we could bring a little bit of the Florida Keys to you.
I love Key-west!!! Amazing place
Thanksssssd for all I hope to helpe another
When you make a Mojito is best to put the leaves in your hands about 10 per drink and you gently clap your hands with the leaves a place in cup and top with ice and alcohol, lime and give a gentle stir and top with club soda and serve
Thanks for sharing. I totally forgot about the sun pass👍🏽
I've always wanted to visit Key West, now I REALLY want to go!
I can't wait to go to Esmiralda Key next time. I keep missing it.
Definitely have to go there next time for sure. We still have to much to see as well.
Lmao 👍
😆🤣
That was the biggest faux pas for someone who's supposed to be sharing knowledge. DUH!!!
I’ve watch like 10 blogs about the keys today trying to see what I should do. This was the best one by far, love the energy and love how the video wasn’t just showing you eating food and talking about things that has nothing to do with the keys. I will be subscribing to this channel thanks again
You guys seem like an awesome couple to vacation with! 🍻 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! We definitely enjoy having fun and had a great time on that trip. Cheers!
This video made me smile. I love the whole Florida keys. Every time I go, I try something different. Whether itd be another place to eat and or drink or water adventures. Giving different businesses a chance. I don’t have a favorite. Except maybe blue heaven for breakfast.
I am glad you love the Florida Keys. It sounds like you know it very well.
The Planet D not well enough yet lol
I love the keys visited twice this year.
Loved it! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for making this video! This is extremely helpful. I'm going solo and have no clue where to go/what to do. You helped me plan a big part of my trip.
I am so glad we could help you plan! Hope you had a great time!
The wind between the pinky toes is good enough while up in the air! So cool
Haha! We definitely felt the wind in our pinky toes :)
Thank you for posting your travelling diaries guys :) life is wonderful even to a jellyfish #peace
Thanks so much! I am glad that we could please a jellyfish :D
What a very fun video.es me want to be back in the Keys:) I go every year. My reservations are already made for 2021.
Thanks for the awesome information
I really loved this video . Planning a trip for me and hubby for my birthday and you guys made me even more excited to go !!🥰 love your attitudes
Amazing! Thanks You!
I love Key West!
I lived in Key West for many years.
The most beautiful place in the World! 😘🌹😘
It really is one of our favourite places to visit in America. It's so unique!
Deb you are so cute and you make the video so fun. Thank you for sharing!! I'm so ready for a Key West trip.
Aw, thanks so much. You made my day with your kind words. Enjoy your Key West Trip!
Safe travels!! You will have tons of fun!
Islamorada is pronounced 'Eye-lah more-ahh-dah'. It means 'purple island' in Spanish, and was named for the tiny purple snails that once covered the island by the trillions. They were used for dying clothing though, so these days there's hardly any left. Watch the series 'Bloodline' on Netflix - it was filmed there. A very nice -and super inexpensive- place to stay is the Key Lantern Motel in Islamorada (www.keylantern.com/). Their rates are $80-95/night depending on the season - a price that's nearly impossible to find in the Keys! From there you can walk over to Lorelei Cabana Bar next door for breakfast outside! There's usually a mature -and smart- great white heron that hangs around begging for handouts! Keep an eye on your plate as that big boy will have no problem devouring your entire meal if you look the other way for even an instant (which has happened to me a few times, "you bad bad bird you ate all my bacon, AND my toast too")! At Robbie's Marina keep your purse closed because pelicans will grab things out of it if you set it down on the pier! Also, keep your cell phone held tightly because a lot of people get their cell phones stolen - by pelicans who think you're holding a fish. They literally grab it and fly away... BTW, a night fishing trip (night fishing is always better - more fish, the sea is beautiful in the dark, and it's cooler and more comfortable physically since you're not in the hot hot sun) on the Captain Michael Head ('Party') Boat (run out of and docked at Robbie's Marina) costs around $50 per person (which includes rod/reel rental and bait) is worth every penny. I used to live in Marathon and would go on the Captain Michael all the time - they know where all the fish are! It costs a few dollars more, but pay for a spot on the transom (back of the boat) - you'll catch more fish from there and bigger fish usually as well. TIP: I'd pick up my own bait from any bait and tackle shop or most gas stations - get shrimp and ballyhoo as these attract more fish and a better quality of fish too. Use the shrimp whole, and cut the ballyhoo across the body into chunks. Then, when you get to shore the crew will fillet your fish for a few bucks, which is worth it (take the cleaned fillets to any restaurant and ask them to cook it up 'Key's Style' or 'Key's Family Style' - they'll give you some pan fried, some blackened, some breaded, etc). If you have enough fish, it's customary to tell the server to take some fillets home for their family, and offer some to the chef and busboy if there's plenty (and there usually is). Don't forget to tip the mate of the boat and the captain if you think he did a good job.
Thanks!!
Я люблю Кеу West!!
Key west--- это рай на земле.😘😘😘
7 days ill be there. Thanks for all the ideas
Brenden Benoit have a great time!
This made me really excited to go. Loved the blog, thanks or sharing!
Thanks! I hope you make it to zkey West soon!
Love Key West
What a wonderful video. You guys did a great job. Thank you.
Thankyou very much! I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Hello amazing video. Thank you! There is an agency that create a tour like this with one ticket? Have you some link? Thx so much.
that was a pretty cool video,, thank you
Thanks for watching!
So Beautiful 😍. Thank You So Much. I’ve never been there 😞
You’re welcome 😊 cheers!
A Cuban-American icon, The San Carlos Institute located at 516 Duval Street in the heart of Key West is MUST SEE and is awesome for history! Now a FREE museum (they accept donations and I always donate), it’s a great find and arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in Key West. Cuba has a lot of tied history with the USA, especially in Key West. Here you will see artifacts, art, documents, and other historical Cuban and Cuban American pieces. Devote about 30 mins to an hour and you won’t regret it.
Going to The Keys in 2 weeks! Thanks for the vlog and all the tips! Def going to the brewery!!😵
vince sanin You should check out Conch Republic Seafood Company for some fantastic fresh food!🙂
vince sanin I’m sorry but I’m born and raised here in key west and watching someone that can’t even pronounce the names of certain keys isle-a-more -ida Not Esmoralda and can’t pronounce the word CONCH (konk) Duval Street is pronounced Due-v-ALL. promoting and NOT even from here is always mind boggling to me. All these people promoting MY home and NOT one from here. The FAKE experts. Sorry but promote your own towns. Key west is over run and ruined our sea life and reef included dying from cruise ships, and other populated tour boats and snorkeling on the reef is killing it too. Conch train I’ll give you that. Pronounced correctly. Sorry and everything you described in this ideal is as tourist as it gets. Ask locals when.visiting where the GOOD restaurants really are. They’re NOT on Duval that’s for sure. Video purely tourist traps and all things REAL locals and born and raised we are called conchs AND you won’t find one of us in any of these touristy Attractions. The Conch train is owned by a Conch and he’s expanded all over the country. Historic Tours of America. If there’s history Ed Swift and Chris Belland WILL have trolleys and Trains for narrated guided tours. That the only true thing originated and owned by Key West conchs Ed Swift. Oh and the Fury is Key West conch person as well. I graduated high school with. Scott and Tammy Saunders that’s the ONLY two things I’ve seen on this video. Never find any key west conchs we call ourselves doing any of this EVER. Except Scott owner of Fury is planning our 40th class reunion for us to take a dinner cruise. Other than that Key West people don’t engage in the group touristy tours. Hang with true key west people and see what good food and back country fishing or just anchor up to one of key west’s best swimming and chilling from your boats drinking beer and cooking on the boats and all sharing music and good old key west days. Snipes point. About 30-45 minute boat ride and water is STILL pristine and nothing but sandy bottom. Rest of kw has been destroyed and ruined over run and I’m sorry I cry to see what this little sleepy military, shrimping and cigar rolling town has become. Said from Fort Lauderdale. ??? Advertise there. Please
Willy and Olya it’s average and nothing outstanding for seafood. Try Hogfish on stock island. That’s fresh great eating seafood. Conch republic has great bar though for happy hour
@@kccurrie1681 Sorry that you feel that way. From what I understood from our train guide, Key West was always trying to be a destination for people to live as well as bringing tourists. The railroad built by Mr. Flagler, I thought was to bring commerce and vacationers. I'll admit, it is kind of "trappy" but if it were left alone by tourists what would become of it. I imagine now that it's closed to tourists the impact is being felt swiftly. Nobody wants that. I went and we really enjoyed it. And yes, I do believe Duvall St. is to trendy looking and boutique-ish. But such is life in America. Businesses go to where the money and tourists are. We hope to go again, and yes, seeing "the real" Key West would be great! I hope to go to restaurants that are more authentic and,local. Maybe I'll hit you up on here for some places to go! Thanks....and enjoy life!
Are you using in camera audio or an external mic by the way?
We use a Rode Mic that plugs into our iPhone and there's a Rode app. We do need to get a better mic and that is on our list of things this month.
Islamorada is pronounced 'I -La-More-Ah-Dah' and it means 'purple island' because of the tiny purple snails that used to cover the rock!
Which go pro did you use?
I had low expectations for this video, and was pleasantly surprised by the fun and practical information!
Haha, thanks very much. I am glad we could exceed your expectations :D
I live in Key West and can't be there right now so it's nice to watch :)
Sorry you can't be home right now. I'm glad we could bring a little bit of home into your life for a few minutes. Key West is awesome.
I feel bad you are stuck in Key West. Is there anything, anything at all, I can do to help? 🤣
@@nicelady51 I wish I was stuck in KW, no, I am stuck in europe waiting to go back to Key West
how do you take picture when you on the water ? using drone ?
Leave today for Miami, then Key West Thursday!
Lucky you! We're in Canada right now and it was snowing this morning!
@@ThePlanetD ugh! I live in North Carolina and it’s getting cold. Hello sun!
Why only 775 likes? This is one of the best videos everrrr
we have one rooster an my school in key west we call him roody so fi you are going to see rooster close to may sands montessory school it is roody
haha!
Great energy!! You know how to have fun!! 😍😀
Check out our most recent vlog from the Keys!!🌴☀️
Outstanding travel vlog. Using hero go pro black 7 ?
Yes we are. The entire video was shot on our GoPro Hero 7 black and an iPhone 11. We travelled light this trip and had an amazing time not having our back weighted down with equipment. It was a nice change and I think they took some great footage.
@@ThePlanetD great I am now using gopro 7 black. Amazing action camera.
@@mdmohsinranaofficial It is so steady and great for moving shots. I can't get over how stable it is when walking and doing adventures.
@@ThePlanetD right. great action camera.
what is that you all are holding in your hand. is it some type of camera or video device?
I believe you may be talking about the GoPros in our hands?
The Planet D Okay thanks
Omg what microphone do you use?? Its so clear
We use the rode smart lav.
@@ThePlanetD yaay thank you so muccchhh
0:20 Wait did she just say "Esmeralda" Key? Like from Bewitched? lol
Yes, I said it wrong at the time, but I can't go back and say it again. Nobody is perfect and it's not like I have a film crew there to help me out when there is a blip. I think you knew what I meant. Have you ever pronounced something wrong in your lifetime? Or maybe you are just perfect?
Where is the Florida Keys Brewery Co. at ?
It is on Islamorada
@@ThePlanetD Thank you 😊
How much was it per person to parasail?
$74 per person
What time of year did you go?
We were there at the end of November. We have also been in December and the weather was quite pleasant and we've been there in October and it was quite hot.
How was your experience flying over the sea? 🌊👌🤩
Best wishes from RINESH ANDREWS
Thanks! Best wishes to you too!
I love your vidio but not the water
Thank you
When
We were in the Florida Keys in December.
given how much they charge for a ferry ride out to the Tortugas it is definitely not "must do." It is something I would love to do, but I refuse to pay their prices. Also don't stop in at the brewing company expecting cheap drinks inspire of their name they are not cheap.
Did you know you can marry in Hemingway's House? :)
I didn't know that! How amazing would that be. It is so romantic.

U set date
First of all. It’s pronounced Isle-a-more-ada NOT esmeraldo
And second of all?
"Ismarelda"? WTF
