I loved your video, but LOVED, your heartfelt concluding comments even more! Thank you Robert!
Thanks for visiting the local parts of Florida. I live in Ft Lauderdale and don't get out that way. I appreciate you showing me what I am missing. Don't feel old. I was born in 1949, and don't feel too old. Retired and still kicking.
Thank You Robert, your videos are giving me a chance to travel and still be safe at home with my oxygen. You put smiles on everyone's faces... We love you
Gooooood morning Robert. Thank you for sharing this video. We always enjoy watching them, especially the ones in Florida. Have a great day and safe travels my friend. 😀🌴
My parents took me to the boat races there back in the 70's when we lived in Key Biscayne. Always a very good time.
Robert your a youngster. We are in our mid 70's and play tennis 5 times a week. Getting ready to pack up to leave mid December for 4 months. Staying here in Florida this year instead of heading to California. Thanks for update on Everglades. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you too
71 was a good year;-) Happy Thanksgiving!
Great video. Very true, we have everything to be thankful. A very happy thanksgiving for you your family and all of our friends.
Thanks for your sunshine video. Greetings from Germany (today c. +4° C)
¡Ole! Love your videos & the wonderful salsa rhythms of your music TravelingRobert! Have a blessed Thanksgiving with your family. The new Chevy truck is going to open up new vistas for you! Looking forward to more of your travels! And yes...your health is your wealth...am turning 65 on December 9th so I know exactly what you are talking about! Keep on traveling!
Great to see you on the road again! Yes we are blessed to live in the Greatest Country ever known to man. The only thing holding you back is yourself. You and yours have a great Thanksgiving! See ya on the road
Happy Thanksgiving and yes this is a great country! God Bless!
Thank you!
Congratulations on your new Chevy Colorado Robert. Loved the tour of the old store, we had a sink just like that when I was a kid, in the hills of Pennsylvania. Many other items brought back memories of my Nana's home in Baltimore. What fun we had, in those days, camping was in heavy canvas tents.
As a new tow vehicle owner myself, I had to chuckle when you reached the 500 mile break in. I know that feeling, time to hook and book.
As for your new tow vehicle, no other name would be fitting but , "Bowtie".
Keep up the great work, every episode is chock full of lessons for us newby's. Memories too.👍
Happy Thanksgiving from Athens Greece ! We thank you for your lovely videos !
Love the new set up......awesome. Live your videos. And your music. Best channel on youtube. Thank you for all of your entertainment.
Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving Robert and your wife and family you bring us great pleasure with all of your videos and I hope you have m
any many many more travels ahead of you
Happy Thanksgiving Robert! We love all that you do. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
Oh my! Robert mentioned getting older after telling us the year he was born. That very year I was working with Randle-Eastern Ambulance and Kenny Randle, the owner's son and a fellow named Cabrer, to name two. Where have the years gone? My only memory of Tamiami Trail was one of the two worst accidents I ever attended. The other was out Krome Ave. Maybe I should see more of the canal-side highway to help overcome these two terrible events. It was an exciting time. I also worked for Van Orsdel Funeral Home, Hialeah. Some start in my young life, right?
This is another of Robert's ever-improving video productions. Folk, Robert's music CD is pretty good! I've had mine a while. Oh, nice seeing some of those antiques; I like those places.
Robert, you are truly a master of the media. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing stories.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I really enjoy your videos. It makes my workday more enjoyable. Many blessings.
Really enjoyed how you ended the video with Thanksgiving it brought a tear to My eye, Love your videos
Thank you
Great trip and maiden towing voyage what a lovely area you live. 👍
Thanks!
Awesome! I will be on the road to south fl late tonight, safe travels!
Let the new era start! What a great and warm message at the end. Happy Thanksgiving, Robert to you and your family and thank YOU for all the wonderful adventures and knowledge you’ve shared with us over the years!
Being thankful for our health is important! Happy Thanksgiving Robert!
Hello! Robert Congrats on 60k and happy thanks giving and very amazing awesome video from me.
Love seeing the old sewing machines. My grandmother had one similar to those with the foot treadle and the old wooden drawers. Never saw her use it though. That was back in the early 1960s when I was 7 or 8. Have a Great Thanksgiving and have a wonderful IPA. 😁 🍗
Thank you Robert for the Thanksgiving Eve video! You know we love ya and appreciate ya sir. Great drone footage as always and still lovin the Miami theme every time you mix it in with the drone and the Miami skyline. I hope you and Ile have wonderful holiday on the road my friend. Just be careful out there over the this holiday period.
Very nice editing effects. I love seeing your perspective of Miami.
Thank you
@@TravelingRobert de nada!
Happy Thanksgiving Robert....We do have a lot to be thankful for...and thank you for making me want to get out and rv in the near future...
Happy Thanksgiving, Robert! Thank you for the great scenes from south Florida. The weather was perfect for the drone. Safe travels.
Robertico nice drone video of miami...its a beautiful city from the sky....happy thanksgiving to all
Robert, My wife and I recently discovered your RV travel channel series. We are enjoying watching them!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it
Another great video! I enjoyed seeing the Everglades and it brought back memories when you stopped by the marine stadium. I saw a couple of concerts there as well as various boat races in the bay....back in the day. Have a safe and fun Thanksgiving.
I’m 16 and I live in Miami, and I literally learned of this abandoned stadium a week ago.....the capacity was 7,000...
It's been abandoned for a while
Just checked it in Google Maps, it seems that place isn't there anymore, seems like there is some kind of industrial construction there now Marcador
Cerca de Miami, Florida 33149, EE. UU.

Wow, what a great ending to this video.. thank you.
It's really a pleasure to watch your videos here in Brazil. It is as we're traveling along with you. Thank you very much. I will be in Florida pretty soon and maybe we can meet.
Happy Thanksgiving Robert and family!
Happy thanksgiving from PA! Loveed the video and congrats on the new truck! We are very blessed in this country! Have a great holiday with family and may God bless you all.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too
Have an awesome rolling Thanksgiving as well Robert. Love everyone of your adventures.Great job narrating and especially enjoy the update in traveling music. Especially the Latin infused selections. It just seems like a perfect compliment. All the best pal.
We have a lot of fun watching your videos. Happy travels Robert!
Thank you!
So beautiful in Miami, Fl. I went to Gator Park. I did the airboat ride, seen a alligator show and took pictures holding real alligators. It was a amazing experience. Happy🦃 Day from Los Angeles, Ca
Thanks for another great video Robert. You have 5 stars from me.
Welcome back Robert / Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you Robert for all your wonderful videos!! Blessings friend!
Looking forward to your Colorado “first review “ video.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Robert.
Loved the Store museum - well worth the $5 entrance charge.
There is a great little museum in Cedar Key that we like.
Beautiful video ending! You are blessed indeed!🙏
Hi Robert, We watched your video on your trip to the Everglades with your new Colorado....It looks spiffy. Nice color and pulls little MIni Tini just great. The Ideal vehicle. That store is so precious with all it's paraphernalia from the past. Robert, you are so right about Mental Health and health being such an important part of our lives. When you have no health left, which can happen easily, especially with soldiers, firefighters, police,...your health is something you sometimes have to fight for after 36 years of work.....My husband knows this ever so well. So we all must take care of our health, whether physical or psychological. I felt so bad for the group at the Van build when they were calling out for less "drama| in your country. We too feel it up in Canada. I sometimes think it is harder to watch others suffer than go through it yourself. However, Colin and I want to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. May this be a day of Peace for you and yours. We are taking this day for less politics, less religion, less speaking out, and sitting in silence & looking in our mirror at ourselves. We hope all Americans, Canadians, Mexicans and the migrants join us. As my grandmother use to say, Look at what we ourselves are contributing, that is the best way to do this. Mental illness can be self created, and it can be tragedy created or it can also be genetics. So there are differing ways for mental illness to occur. Americans on the world stage are going through a lot right now. 911 has created a lot of fallout. It is your system that shows us all of what you go through. So to all of you we wish you a very peaceful day. Bless you and your family, and we are thankful for you and yours.....We are thankful along with you about where we are in history.....From Carolyn and Colin Hogarth .
Thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you too
good ending and wise words.
Happy thanksgiving. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
Happy Thanksgiving Robert and Family
Robert you need to do Janes Memorial Scenic Drive. Its just west from where you are. Its an old logging trail you can drive through
So well said about the health and this country Happy Thanksgiving I love your calming attitude on traveling Finally fulfilling caregiving obligations and now retired my wife and I are FREE to travel on road trips Hope to see you one day Robert
thank you for all the amazing videos you make!
You're welcome
Hi Robert, the one's who don't use the cross walk moved to West palm Beach. lol
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your entire family👍
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you too
Have a great Thanksgiving, Robert.
Another great video ! Moved out of Miami three years ago to Tn. Enjoyed this video cause it brings back memories of when I lived in Miami . Been to the same places that you explored in this video . Good times . Safe travels and great health!
Happy Thanksgiving Robert. Love the vids w/ the new truck.
One of my favorite roads in Florida. By the way, that “Anhinga” is a Cormorant. ;) Flyyyyy, Pelican!
Good to see you back out on the road doing what you do best. It's been a while. Almost got out of the habit of looking for your newest adventure. Absolutely loved the wildlife! Great to see and get a wave from Ileana! Happy Thanksgiving! 🍗 Cheers! 🍺
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Happy Thanksgiving Robert!
Definitely enjoying the videos. The everglades and Florida scenery reminds me of my visits to Philippines on my holidays. Palm trees, wildlife, dirt roads, warm weather/typhoons/hurricanes and sunny blue skies. Maybe when/if I decide to go back home stateside, Florida may be on my high list of relocation places for 2nd retirement home..1st is Philippines.
Congratulations on the new truck. I like that you have a hobby with your drone. I myself, I haul my motorcycle and explore the local area. If I ever see you out on the road, I’ll make sure to honk and wave.
WOW Robert, downtown Miami reminds me a little of downtown Chicago, where we're from, we now live in N Ft Myers, my wife, Deb, & I have lived down here 3yrs in July 2020 & love it, plus, I am an instrumental guitarist & have done over 200 gigs down here alone, a couple of private gigs in Miami!!! Hopefully one day when we get our RV we can meet you in our travels & maybe even have a jam session, that would be cool! Enjoy your videos my friend & have subscribed, Rock On & God Bless!!!
I'm a bit behind on your awesome videos, loved this one so very much ! 😊 The Everglades are awesome, and right in our backyard! Keep making your wonderful videos!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Robert f
Greetings from Port Orange Fl. Happy Thanksgiving Robert and to your family!
Thank you for your nice videos...from Montréal,Québec and a early start to the snow and winter, It's been a real pleasure to travel to the everglades with you...some day, with my RV, I'll visit that part of the country. Merci beaucoup.
Thank you!
thank you Robert. you are a great person
Very nice video Robert! Be safe on the road! 😉
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Robert !!! I’m glad to see you finally hooking up the Minnie and taking a short trip, beautiful day in Miami, I enjoyed watching your trip to the Everglades and that museum sure had a lot of memorabilia from years past. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great Friday !!! Danny
Happy belated Thanksgiving
Traveling Robert 👍🏻 Thank you !!! Enjoy and have a Great Saturday !!!
Great video , Happy thanksgiving Robert
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too.
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Really good video thanks for sharing with us 😊👍
Happy Thanksgiving, safe travels
My wife and I traded in our old rig for a new Chevy 3500 truck with a diesel, and a new 35' 5th wheel this year. We love the towing experience, not that our old trailer and Ram was bad. New rig has plenty of power and 10-11 mpg just a well balanced setup To me its all about a tow vehicle that is matched correctly to the trailer to arrive at a good towing experience. IMHO you have a real good looking combination going on here. If I were alone I would be trading my rig in for just about what you have. I too look forward to hearing how you feel it performs when compared to the old SUV. Enjoy your holidays...
"HAPPY THANKSGIVING" to you Robert, and your entire family, :) :) :) :)
PS : The Chevy Colorado is "Looking GOOD" brother !!!
Thank you and God bless you and your family!
Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family Robert 🦃. Thanks again for this awesome video as well as all the others you give us! Just got my music CD' s... enjoying them now as we speak... they're great!!🎼🎶
Thank you for the good videos, and have yourself & family a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you too

Bought a Canyon 3 months ago, same color and bed cover! Hope to buy my 1st RV this spring. Anxious to hear your opinion on how it tows, mpg, etc. Happy Thanksgiving from Dallas, TX.
Wondering what motor he got ? V-6, Turbo 4, ... is a diesel an option ?
@@michaelkloeckner6353 He has the v6.
Hi Robert,thanks a lot for posting yet another 'jewel' here which as always,I watched with utmost attention and interest just now .You are indeed a man of amazing talents,as I stated already several times before.Which of course makes me real proud to be one of your subscribers.Keep the ball rolling buddy, for your efforts are greatly appreciated here across the Big Pond.Best wishes and cordial greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe
Food looked delicious...show more food!!! Loved the museum....:-)
Happy Thanksgiving to you Robert! Love the new ride, can't wait to do some more traveling with you! God bless you!
I wish I had that freedom and finances to travel. Wanted to since 1965.
Loving the travelling Robert. I am not sure if anyone had commented on the bird yet, but that is a Cormorant (curved tip of beak) not an Anhinga (pointy beak). The Florida trail from the so. terminus for 7 miles north is a great hike, nice in January, mostly in water, at 7 miles there is a campsite to the left (primitive)
Awesome video as usual Robert! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your better half and I'm so happy you're enjoying the new truck!!!! 😀
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you too
