Wow! Can you believe Hubby and I are leaving next week to spend Christmas at Fiesta Key! When I made the reservations, 8 months ago, I was told we got the last spot. We have a blow up boat that we are looking forward to using. Looks like you had fun with the paddle boards and kayaks. We will then be heading to the Tampa area for the RV show.
🙌 What an amazing episode you guys! Fun time. We are scheduled to be at Fiesta Key in February!! So excited. 👍 Safe travels, and looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos.

Thanks for showing the Aligator Reef Lighthouse. I sand blasted, chip and painted the lighthouse either in 63-64. The seas were not calm all the time. You had great weather.
When I went to dive school in the Caribbean 30 years ago to earn my PADI dive card, I was taught how to clear your ear(s) and it works for me every time. If your right ear is plugged, you want to tilt your head left as far as you can to stretch out the Eustachian tube and plug your nose with your fingers and GENTLY blow and that will unplug your ear. Hope this helps you. Rob
Greetings fellow adventurers! At the beginning of this video you were passing through our part of town, we love just mins from 451 me vick road! Just found your channel and thoroughly enjoy it! Keep up the inspirational work. We started traveling and documenting our travels locally when my mom got put in assisting living. This inspired us to get out and see the world and video it not only for family videos, but she can live vicariously through us. Again, thanks for sharing your videos and inspiring us! Safe travels
Fiesta Key is our favorite place in the Keys to camp, we’ve been there several times like you have! This was the best episode I’ve seen on your channel, it was wonderful to see all the sites. The photography is great and the editing was outstanding…so happy that I subscribed. Looking forward the next episode!
I’ve been to Key West a couple of times. I love it. I want to drive all the way through the Keys and camp along the way. Can’t wait for the next vlog. Thanks
We were in Florida a couple of weeks ago and my husband got stung by a Portuguese Man O War. A bunch of them had washed up on the beach, but some tentacles and some Man O Wars were still hanging around.😮
Something to be said about off season camping. We spent Thanksgiving at a Campground in Berlyn MD. We were on the shore side of the place to ourselves. I cooked a turkey breast in the air frier and sourcrout in a crock pot. As chief Engineer, I had to do some power management and put the hot water heater on gas. Its way too cold to go swimming where we are. Have fun in the Keys.
The ear that is plugged with water, tilt that ear down towards the ground. With a open hand palm tap the side of your head until that ear water blockage pops open. As far a the cat scratching the couch, put a soft rubber floor mat on the floor in the front , center , and rear of camper. When your cat starts to knead the rubber mat, give praise to what the cat is doing. Don't scream , never scream/yell at the cat on the couch ,it can do damage. Just go over and pick it up, cuttle it and get it purring , then take it the rubber mat and place it there gently. Cats have to knead, they can't help it, it's just the way it is. I hope this helps.
Alcohol will evaporate the water. My ent had me dip cotton swabs in alcohol to evaporate the water to dry the ears and prevent infections. Had to do it after every shower and swim class.
Yep! I got a spiral ham and cut out the bone and then cut it up a little more. Cooked in its own juices and then added the glaze packet right before serving
Can you cover the process/steps that you took to RETURN the original mattress to RV MATTRESS? Our concerns on buying on-line / sight unseen...is the dreaded Return Process. We can't imagine how you got that original mattress rolled up, out of the RV and mailed back to RV Mattress. Also...how much was return shipping?
The price of fuel hits hard. I recently drove from NY to Florida (and back) I have a Silverado that I use to tow my trailer. Between gas and tolls I spent over a $1000!
What was the process of exchanging your mattress? Do you have to roll the first mattress back up and put it in a box to send back? I’m sure many would like to know what this process looks like. Thanks for all the great information and experiences you share!😊
Nice campground but the limit on pets is where we can't accommodate! We have 4 dogs and we often can't go due to that. We had them when we started this lifestyle and their family! Any suggestions for campgrounds in FL with 4 dogs? Lol
If your cat is continuing to scratch furniture the scratcher you have may not be the right angle, or style for the cat. Some cats like to scratch vertically, some angles, and some more flat. Also, you might be able to put some carpet on a wall section someplace that she can climb, and scratch and it might help. Maybe have it go up to a shelf with a bed on it. Or make the posts of the kid's beds scratching posts for her that she can climb and scratch on. I have no suggestions for unclogging your ears, mine have been clogged for years from allergies.
It was a dry silicone spray that makes it much easer to pull the tow bar up to the Jeep. Plus it doesn't attract dirt and grime causing it to gum up :)
To dry your ears
Use 50/50 white vinegar and rubbing alcohol
Works great and much cheaper then store bought stuff
Thanks!

Swimming always carry neosporine for any reef cuts.
Swimmers ear a must for ears, instant relief.
👍🏻

Very cool, yes we had a nice calm water day when we were out there

five 2 go with you so much fun!
We use 1:1 ratio of alcohol and hydrogen peroxide in our ears when they get clogged. Works like a charm.
Good to know!
Yes! Had a pharmacist recommend this mix.

We love camping in the keys. We typically go every 2 or 3 years and stay on sugarloaf key.
We were in Florida a couple of weeks ago and my husband got stung by a Portuguese Man O War. A bunch of them had washed up on the beach, but some tentacles and some Man O Wars were still hanging around.😮
Yikes!

I was laughing so much at the dog’s responses. And then you added in the cat 😂
🤣

Charity, I’m drooling over your instapot ham! Could you share how you did it?
Yep! I got a spiral ham and cut out the bone and then cut it up a little more. Cooked in its own juices and then added the glaze packet right before serving

Hey there! For the “return” RV mattress had us donate the mattress that didn’t work for us. We didn’t have to ship it back.
Love Alaska's voice, deep and low! Love the ocean and your beautiful family 👪
Thank you!
@@GratefulGlamper 🌊🌞your welcome !
All good stuff. See you guys at Tampa show?
Thanks 🙏🏻 Yes, We will be there!
not packed sounds fantastic great places in the keys some of my best memories till it took off and got packed ..enjoy your trip
Thank you and thanks for watching
We stayed at Fiesta this past season and fell in love with the place. Great video!
Thanks for watching.
W. OB Trail and Vick! 🤣 Next time y'all pass by "The Springs" at 434 and Wekiva Springs Rd./Montgomery Rd. gimme a honk! 😃
Will do!
My absolute fav campground ! What great memories you triggered!
💙
Given how cold and snowy where I am, I wouldn't mind a month in the Florida Keys about now.
Come on down!
@@GratefulGlamper I wish.
We miss going down to the keys. We used to go down there at least once a year, sometimes more! So glad y'all had such a nice Thanksgiving!
Thanks for watching

Brooklyn Bedding had us donate the mattress that was not to our liking - the people we donated it to came and picked it up.
Nice campground but the limit on pets is where we can't accommodate! We have 4 dogs and we often can't go due to that. We had them when we started this lifestyle and their family! Any suggestions for campgrounds in FL with 4 dogs? Lol
What a beautiful place, Great way to spend the holiday!
Thanks for watching
Videography is on point!
Thanks!
Looks like a lot of fun.

Go to a scuba shop and get scuba earplugs (do not use regular earplugs)
👍🏻
Alaskas voice is spot on!😂😂😂
What did y’all spray on the Jeep hitch. Does it make it easier to move and hookup? 😮 Glad your thanks giving was nice. I love the keys!
It was a dry silicone spray that makes it much easer to pull the tow bar up to the Jeep. Plus it doesn't attract dirt and grime causing it to gum up :)
@@GratefulGlamper ok cool! Thanks!
Is it the WD40 in your Amazon store. I just found y’all’s Amazon page. I will order from that from now on. 😜😎💜
The animals talking is cracking me up 🤣
I looked at this rv park and the website says 90 day minimum stay?
Nope, we were there less than a week
Do you guys have a drone? If so, what kind/brand? Any trouble shooting over the water?
Our drone is the DJI Mavic 2 pro and it’s been a great drone. amzn.to/3FACqEY
Hey y’all, I hope y’all had fun in the 🎹
Thanks! Take care!
I brought my RV in for repair 11/3, after it was picked up from 3 months waiting to be fixed. So no going anywhere for me until it's all fixed
Oh no, that’s not good at all
@@GratefulGlamper I just hope they can get all the parts.
Ours has been in the shop since August!! No excuse!! Ridiculous
Ahh livin the dream
We would BUT…an elk ran into our coach in Colorado mid-September so our coach is STILL being repaired…🤬
Oh no!
@@GratefulGlamper yep! Insurance paid immediately but body shop has had numerous problems, claim parts shortage..which am not sure is true…so..😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Do you have to be a Thousand Trails member to stay here?
You do not - you can stay with a member or you can also pay the nightly rate and stay without being a member.
Place looks great. Out of our price range.
Only cost us $20/ night - video coming soon on how it was so cheap for us.
Life jackets??.
WoW🤗
The $200/night fee is enough to keep me away, never mind the gas prices
It only cost us $20/night - video on that coming soon
Isn’t this place almost 200 dollars a night?
Not with a thousand trails camping pass 😉
