Dude, I never comment on anybody's TH-cam posts, but as a born and bred native south Floridian who lives in Miami and frequents the Florida Keys every other weekend, this was one of the most comprehensive, enjoyable videos of my hometown I have ever seen on TH-cam. Phenomenal job on this! God bless you and your Pops. Treasure the time you have together!! I only wish I would have done this with my dad to have these kind of memories on video forever.
Heading to keys with my son in a couple weeks, wanna tent camp thru. Any recommendations?
@@organicvids I know this is 10 months later, but my #1 recommendation for anyone else planning to camp down there is to bring plenty of mosquito repellent.
@@railroad9929 we camped through the keys, i have vijeos on my channel. It was a blast. No msquos just the loud bug guy blaring through late at night.
Nice post Rich.
Thanks for showing love an Respect to my State.
You probably already know this but you really won’t “know” how precious your travels with your pops is to you both! When he’s gone, you’ll still have him literally with you by way of videos and memories ! I’m so happy for you! Beautiful video too (as always!)
I love the fact that my children will be able to look back on these videos and get a better understanding of their dad and grandpa. I hope they will enjoy it!
Not about tourist spots but worth it!
That's what I was thinking. My dad died about two years ago from covid, and I am very glad I did the things I did with him when I was able to. Once they are gone they never come back.

As a native Floridian, I would like to congratulate You and your Dad for an outstanding VLOG on Miami, the Keys, Key West, and Fort Jefferson! I have watched many others, but yours has been the best. This one, and the one y’all made on Route 66, from Calif. to Chicago, are my two favorites. Keep up the good work!
🙏😊
Man I am so surprised at your subscriber count. Your videos are such professional quality, perfect in every way, and always so relaxing and enjoyable. The fact that you get to travel with your Dad is so beautiful. Thanks for all your hard work! 😍😍
I agree
This channel is so good, I seriously hope you take more trips exploring different parts of the USA
Next up, all five Utah national parks. We just got back last week from that one!
Your dad is the best travel buddy ever!
Impressive footage. Very comprehensive narration, presentation and edit of your daily activities in Florida. Your Dad must be a history buff himself. His presence adds flavor to the journey itself. Enjoy your time with your Dad. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Born and raised at Fort Lauderdale. This Floridian loves that you are touring around this beautiful sunshine state and sharing it to all of us 🌴☀️
Thanks so much for chatting with us during the premier and sharing your insights on the humidity haha
Thank you so much for giving other ppl an opportunity to go places they can't go IRL, through your lens! It's interesting and well narrated, never gets boring.....
Josh…Pop posing in the shark was hysterical…definitely had me laughing…we love Pops.
This was another Amazing video…you always have great content…plenty of useful info…wonderful views…plenty of food and coffee info…and you always have such a happy smile on your face
…another trip to add to my list.
TFS Josh and Pops.
Yes, the shark bit was hilarious! LOL funny.
Awesome videos!
Love the Pops and Son Vibe!♥️👏😩
I came across your channel tonight’s and you have done a great job ( precious too ) ! Thank you for the video🤗
You and your dad are beautiful souls! Thanks for your vidoing. Beautiful, refreshing. Bless you both!
Thanks for the awesome video and hello from Helsinki Finland!
Thanks for watching the video all the way from Finland!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your Florida adventure with us. You are so fortunate to create memories with your dad. You are a great narrator.
What a pleasure to see these places. I’m home bound and I’ve always wanted to go to Key West, Miami and the Everglades. Dry Tortuga was incredible. You researched your trip so well-all the museums, parks and eateries. Very well put together. Your voice is relaxing to listen to. Thanks for taking us with you and your Pops!
I love the relationship you have with your dad.
My husband and I worked in Everglades National Park. And the vultures can destroy a car very quickly. The tarps don't help much. And will shred a convertible top in no time. Hope you enjoyed tge Everglades!!! I managed Flamingo Marina for years and I loved the beauty of the glades. The manatees were my favorite.
Is it OK or mess with the vultures or are they a protected species?
Spicy mustard is a must for a turkey sandwich! Just had to give my two cents, lol. I also just stumbled upon this video. i got sucked in! I live in Florida and watched the whole thing! I am definitely going to go check out some of the spots that you went to. Hope you enjoyed your time here!
❤️
Watched this video yesterday after the Route 66 one. You and your Pops have such a great relationship, and you seem to enjoy each other's company. You guys are truly making great memories together. Love your videos.
I really love this video. You and your pops are so lucky to have this time to travel together! Since you've done an amazing job researching all the different places, I'm just going to follow your itinerary when I visit Miami and Key West next week! Keep up the good work!
After seeing you and your dad , I wish my father was alive. Great video, and thanks for doing my homework.
Thanks so much for the comments on handicap accessibility! I’m planning on making trips in the US and maybe abroad. You’ve given me a head start. 🙏🏽😆
Looks like y’all had a great time! Now you have me craving pie and yes Mustard on Turkey sandwich is 👍👍
I grew up in Key Largo and I LOVE Mrs. Mac's, but the best Breakfast in the Upper Keys (aside from the obvious morning-time sunrise beer and eggs at the Lorelai) would be at Harriette's with their Key Lime Muffins! I'm sad it's too expensive down there for people born and raised in the keys to actually live down there but whenever I'm down there visiting I always try to hit up my old haunts.
WOW! Beautiful
Beautiful video ,very well made, but the most beautiful thing was to see father and son sharing together.
Congratulations God bless you both.
Thank you for letting us enjoy such a wonderful tour.
Brother ! the most honest travel show host. Such a treat to watch
What a great video! I am a native Miamian. Your dad made me laugh so much him inside that shark on the side of the road to Key West. 🙏🌴Yes!! to Mustard on the Turkey sandwich. 😋
Love watching you guys !! What a blast I love your dad my dad has never been in my life and I always wanted one so its so special watching you both together its so special.
11:49 Knowing Florida, the rule is "you may wrestle the gators, but only during gator wrestling hours. Waivers are in the main office" 😆
A fantastic FL trip. I love this and will have to repeat it. Thank you and Pops for taking me along. You give me great ideas. I'm a traveler 👊👍🏽
So glad you liked it and I hope you have a great trip if you visit some of the spots!
It is actually nice to watch a Florida tour video that does not involve Disney and outlets.
Been watching some of your videos and really enjoy them. My mother is currently suffering the end stages of cancer and it keeps me close to her. Can't go traveling and it's been long time due. I like how you have such a good bond with your dad, that's very special and more so as you share these awesome adventure together.
Seen your Route 66 video, the Utah trip, Blue Ridge Parkway and now this one. Sometimes i forget to like them because my mind is still with yous on your trips...srry for that. Thank you for sharing your experiences and definitely looking forward visiting your country. So much beautiful land and culture. Grtz from Belgium.
Thanks for this super quality video and the informative and interesting narrative:)
Amazing Video!
Many Thanks!
Beautiful Florida
Yes, a sunset cruise in Key West is a bucket list item.
Most travel videos are too choppy, fast with excess cutting. The creator of these videos has an excellent editing ability, smooth cutting, nice soft audio. These videos are both informative and relaxing. They are also watchable for those with visual impairments. Nicely done!
This is so crazy. Just weeks before I crossed the continent to bucket list Route 66, you release that video. Then just DAYS after booking my first tip to the Keys in over a decade, you put out this! You and your pops are an AMAZING travel duo! You have such fun chemistry and I love seeing the country with you two just before I make my own travels following your footsteps! OMG AND YOU JUST PUT OUT SHANENDOA WHICH IS MY FAVE NATIONAL PARK!!! I love you guys! This trip to the Keys is gonna be the best 30th birthday ANYONE ever had!!!!!
I love and appreciate your content. Your road trip videos are my personal favorites, and I am certainly a subscriber for life.
Thanks for the content.
Really appreciate that, thanks for enjoying them!
I'm glad that you brought up the National Park Visitor's Center and their passport stamps. I always buy a couple of their best NP scenic postcards, hit them with their stamp, retrieve a couple of postage stamps from my wallet, stamp them, and then drop them in their mailbag. Nice mementos.
I used to teach Geology of National Parks, have visited over half of them, but not Dry Tortugas. THANK YOU!!!
"Your safety IS YOUR responsibility" should not have to be on a sign! COMMON SENSE!
I have just discovered your site and truly appreciate your quiet, respectful, and well photographed videos. Too many 'visitors' are just noisy and rude.
Thank you!
Brilliant. I just love your videos. We visit the USA from London, UK every year and your presentations are invaluable. Thanks.
Wow, I always love your trips. You are great presenter and nice to see how you love to go for trips with your father. You are so lucky. Thank you so much.
So Hyped to see this!! the full road trip episodes are my favorite. I love seeing you and pops reviewing food! You guys should do that more often!!
Appreciate that! We need to work on our descriptive words in our food reviews haha
Beautiful. We visited all places in 2005. 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Great trip, thanks for taking me. Loved the history on Dry Tortugas.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was such a cool place to visit
Thanks Pops and Pops Jr. Your videos are great !!! Keep on traveling !!!
Yes, mustard on a turkey sandwich. I’ve always wanted to visit Florida, your experiences really helped me narrow down which places I’d like to visit.
My husband and I have been camping every year out at Fort Jefferson for 13 years we take the ferry and all our gear for the 3 nights and four days they allow. It is a paradise.
I grew up in miami on Biscayne Bay and the Julia Tuttle Causeway ( beach-airport) My mother often took us to the glades back when (the 50s) all they had was primitive boardwalks and Purple Gallinules would eat from our hands. Fairchild Garden was not overly developed then. Entrance was free and I spent a lot of time there just wandering or sitting and reading a book. Miami, then, was a wonderful place to grow up. This was like a trip home. Thank you.
Florida☀️
I love all of your videos. You bring the true visitor to the area, stopping and enjoying the tourist spots on the way. The commentary on what to enjoy, what is worth the price, and where to eat is always interesting without being drawn out or overdone. Thank you very much for all you do. I enjoy these all, and can travel without leaving home vicariously through all of your wonderful videos. Two thumbs up!
I wasn't familiar with the Dry Tortugas until this video. It looked fabulous and that beach was breathtaking.
I grew up in Miami (1969) This was awesome. I loved the memories but you guys also showed me some things I was never able to do 👍
BTW, this was my favorite video by you guys yet. L♡ve Pops + U
Appreciate the kind words about the video! Glad you liked it!
Been to the Keys several times. I love it. Spent 5 nights in the tortugas camping over new years 1999-2000. One of my favorite trips ever! Great video as always!
We thoroughly enjoyed traveling with you guys. We have been to some of the areas you visited but still enjoyed visiting again with you both ❤
A beautiful video . I am happy you went with your dad!
Highly agree with Pop's description of gator
Awesome capture of that beautiful double-rainbow!
Your Pops is a star! ⭐
I live in Florida.. my son lived in the keys.. while he was alive..I come from south Dakota.. not far from Fargo north Dakota..I wish my son could have seen all the beautiful places you have seen..I love how you father and son appreciate your time together..I have a daughter.. wish she could get the chance to see the world too.. but like wonderful peeps like you guys..we can dream.. God bless.. love y'all
This helped me planned our trip to the Keys! The videos show what a special bond you and your dad have too. What a blessing ❤
Had fun watching your trip w pop in Florida. 😊 thanks, happy travels.
What a great road trip!! I especially enjoyed the trip out to the Fort. You're enabling us to visit places that we won't be able to see otherwise. I also love that you don't talk for periods of time so that we can enjoy just the scenery. The interaction between you and your dad is really wonderful. And by the way, **NO** mustard on turkey sandwiches!! None!
Viscaya and Venitian pool were my favorite places as a kid. I grew up in the then western edge of Miami when Bird Road ended across a bridge into farm land then into the eastern edge of the Everglades. Many weekends were spent in the Glades enjoying nature until development started draining the swamps I grew up in. All those places you're visiting are wonderful, but what's more exciting is seeing you and your dad traveling together. You'll always look back on those times and see how much fun you had with your Dad. Love your travels.
Hey I love it that you travel and explore places with your dad ….all the best !
Life isn’t always kind, so I’m thankful to do my Bucket List with your awesome videos. I been “with you” on the California Pacific HWY and started with Alaska trip. Very enjoyable.
Many thanks!
I love your videos with your dad, they are beautiful and I love the interaction between both of you ❤️
I'm enjoying the blow-by-blow coverage of your videos and I love your father; he's such a great sport.
I first saw you guys yesterday on you tube on your Utah trip it was so amazing. Then today I saw this Florida video, and wow! So I subscribed. You guys are awesome and you show so much of everything I enjoyed and will be watching all your trips. This was fun. I also eat mustard on my turkey sandwich 😆 thank you for sharing these fun, beautiful trips.
Thanks for your time recording the beautiful video and share with us 😍 greetings from Scotland 🏴
No problem, thanks for watching from Scotland!
Thanks for much for this one! We did the Shark Valley tour last Spring due to your visit there with Pops! Look forward to going there again!
Great information and I really need to put the Florida Keys on my list. Thoroughly enjoyed our travels.
Absolutely wonderful..thank you, for taking us along..
Wonderful video. Informative and entertaining. Two thumbs up!!
We are traveling to Miami and Key West next month and stumbled across your video by accident. It's soooo informative, I took several notes and now have our "must-do" list. Thank you! And how amazing to do this with your Dad, what a blessing!
There was definitely a high calorie theme to all of your meals. The portions were huge.
I love that you spend so much time with your dad. I love watching your videos
If you come back to Florida try the Northwest Coast! Pensacola Beach has the most pristine clear water I've found in the state - and the sand is white and fine like sugar!
Sh don’t tell everyone bad enough most of the home have been turned into rentals.
My husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in the Keys, flying into Miami. I loved this video, and me and your Pops have a lot in common.... 1st the car (gotta be easy to get in) don't care for caves, won't catch me on a Ferris Wheel, I don't do heights if I can help it (if I do make it, you won't catch me looking over..lol) .
I got so many good tips from you and your Pops. Love, love, love
Another wonderful road trip. thank you for sharing your trip of Florida.
ive watched a handful of your trip videos and watching you two brings tears to my eyes. i wish i had even a fraction of your relationship with my own father. its a beautiful thing. its so important to have this kind of bond with your pops. he should be real damn proud of himself for raising such a great son. i hope one day my father and i run into you two, so i can give you both a hug for pushing me to keep working on a better relationship with my father. bless.
@Usernamesweresrsbsns We do enjoy traveling with each other. You could have hardly said a more encouraging thing to us than that the videos have inspired you in your relationship with your father! That is so so cool!
@@popshikingover time ive noticed how much youtube has become such a beautiful place on the internet, i think these kinds of videos not only help us see into eachothers lives/experiences but also inspires us to live more fulfilling lives. the comment sections in most videos on youtube, veer from the negativity that usually is found on social media: are a great forum for us to help like minded people communicate, share compassion and pay credit where its due. im glad you read my comment and felt the encouragement. thank you for the reply and i hope youre both doing well!
Great exploration around Florida USA. Beautiful place. Tnx4d free ride. Watching from DUBAI
This looks like so much fun. Even cooler you got to travel there with your dad like that.
11:30 a great blue heron one of the coolest Birds we have here in Florida
I really enjoy watching the travel videos with you and your Dad. You do a great job and you both make the videos as good or better quality content of any travel program on television! I also try to spend time with my father and with his health issues and age it gets more difficult every year.. I'm living your time with your Dad vicariously through your lens. Thank you
Your dad was right. Mustard of any kind does not belong on turkey. That being said, I wish you had spent more time at the Hemingway House and the history of the polydactyl cats. I had two poly's. Love the big extra toed kitties.
This is our second family trip, after our trip to california last year, that we are preparing it with your videos. We could discover so many cool POV with your so interesting "stop by" you made on the PCH. Nowadays we are looking for a 10 days trip from Switzerland to Florida and I shall say that you are The reference to our family now for preparing trips in US. Your dad and yourself are gifted to enjoy those trip together. Thank you, bravo and keep going 🙂
You passed by Homesteadwhete I live and visited many places I have visited. I love Robert is here; we love their shakes and fresh fruits and veggies. It felt good to see my favorite places on TH-cam. Thank you I enjoy both of you and all your videos. Thank you♥️
I live in the Florida Keys and I have to say that your video was FANTASTIC! There are a lot of places I need to see! God bless you and your father! 😊👍
you should do New York and New England next!
Growing up in Miami on bouts. Thank you for showing me a piece of my youth
Thank you and pop’s for sharing your journey with us , I am recovering from a severe stroke and have enjoyed all of your vlogs, stay healthy my friend 💕
Fantastic trip! What’s great about watching this online is the opportunity to pause the video and go to a search engine for more in-depth history of the places you take us to.
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! So much history to learn at many of these places for sure!
One of the best, most entertaining and educational videos about southern Florida. Great information. Many thanks!
I went to Key West and other islands in the 1970s. You choose a good time to go. We snorkeled alot when we went. I remember the bridges seemed long. My cousin lived there for a while recently as he was in the Coast Guard. I remember sea urchins and lots of small fish. the ocean was beautiful there. Your dad favors Dr. Gundry. Thank you so much!
We go to Key West every year, and we never get tired of it. All the things to do, places to go, and things to see. You would have to be there for several weeks or more to do, see, and eat everything that goes on in Key West. The nightlife is spectacular.
Yeah great to spend time with your dad.
Father and Son Road Trips
The BEST
I am a newbie on your channel, love this clip so much. Thank you for exploring.
Pop in the shark, instant iconic, those were the best poses ever! I just about died when I saw Pop's In n' Out shirt! I am native CA and whenever I go home I eat one...or two every single day and I can be there for over a month at a time!
You guy's do some amazing trips I'm going to start traveling again
