I moved there almost 50 years ago, Del Mar on the beach, right next door to the Neptune Inn, just a few blocks to the north of Red Coconut...love your videos!!!
You are so right, it IS a magical place!! I absolutely love Estero Island/Ft. Myers Beach! The last time I was down there, about 10 yrs ago, I made a promise to myself that’s where I’d retire. And it’s about that time. 😊
So, I thank you for sharing this & reminding me it’s time to get in gear and get started! Much love & safe travels from Mid MO 🙏💕🇺🇸🍀💕🙏
I LOVED the Red Coconut. Visited in the 90s with 2 almost grown kids and 4 yr old granddaughter. We arrived when the water was rough; and the baby looked out the window and said "Meme, the water is getting out of the pool." We were fortunate to stay several days in Feb while the rest of the family was in a blizzard in New York State.
Very awesome Road Nomad...👍👍👍👍👍
good area i like a lot .... good video
Beautiful beach❤
Love your sense of humor. Not to much, not to little....Just right;)
Thnaks for all your Wonderful videos Robert. Im watchin them all! some over again!
Cool, thank you so much
I see what you mean about pelicans - so comical and ungainly on shore but streamlined beauty in flight. Your narration and presentation - wonderful. I like the new cam position.
You make a mean breakfast..yumm. Fort Myers is beautiful. Would have to own a boat if I lived there. The sunset wow. Simply gorgeous.
My husband & I retreat each May for 2 weeks to Estro Blvd., at Tropical Sands Resort since the mid 1980's! We love the south end and the white sandy beaches! And of course collecting shells! So peaceful! The Mound House is very interesting! It is located on Estro Blvd! Edison's home is also a wonderful attraction! During Xmas, children display their trees in the garden area! No charge in seeing that! The Banyan tree over the years keeps growing! I highly recommend this to all viewers! Love your site Robert! Blessings!
Hey Robert.... Love your videos.....Keep up the good work!!
Fl is beautiful !
Thx.
Very nice Robert. Enjoyed your video very much. I like your Travel Trailer a lot. Thinking about buying one.
Beautiful sunset , thank you
Robert.
You've captured many amazing sunsets in your videos. This is at least a top 3, in my book. Thanks for sharing!
This is exactly what I like about your videos. Even if there is nothing much going on, like in this vid, you still can make it something worth watching.
Thank you!
This also end my breakfast. So, back to Miami for you and to wash dishes for me.... merciiii
amazing video as always! im so happy to see videos from warm florida as i have a cold winter right now!
Thank you. Happy to bring some warmth up your way.
The sunset was beautiful and I adore all the night lights....makes everything magical.
Agreed!
Love the range of view on the trailer cam. Adds quite a bit to the travelling segments, my favorite part!
Thanks. I really like it too.
I really enjoyed seeing the warmth of a nice sunny trip. Thanks as always.
Yeah that trip was fun. Thank you!
amazing video as always! nice
Thanks!
I stayed there in 1980,awesome campground.
Love all of your videos sir! Have been in search for a new place to go camping with family and there have been no better videos than yours. I'm in Lakeland, FL myself. If you haven't already been check out Madeira Beach/John's Pass and Boardwalk Village as well as Anastasia Park in St. Augustine. Thanks again, look forward to checking out more of your stops!
Thank you. Glad you like my videos. We've been to Madeira and John's Pass. Havent been to Anastasia Park in St. Augustine yet.
the beach looks wonderful the RV camera was a great idea,
utubesuckcox Thanks!
i live for the sunrise's and sunset's!!! thanks for that!
You're welcome!
I enjoy your videos. They are so inspirational.
s4andy63 Thanks! Glad I'm able to inspire. Love to travel.
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful videos. I will be enjoying and living vicariously through them until I can begin my own travels :D
+tsuki Thanks!
You are making me want to pull the trigger on an RV :)
+Daz PWC Go for it ☺
Hello Robert, Will you be at the R V show in Tampa Jan 18 to 22 / of 2017? Hope to run into to you. Hasta la vista hermano
Thank you for another wonderful travel video Robert. There's nothing but rain and gray clouds here in Scandinavia right now, so this video really cheered us up.
Love watching the videos from when you first started out. Was this where you started “Fly Pelican”? They are amazing creatures!
I feel so good after viewing your videos. they are so uplifting.
Thanks!
That looks so nice from the cold North East right now!
Yeah. It is 75° F out there... here where I am anyway. I might do a short trip north for the holidays.
Fantastic video spent some great times at Lovers Key
Thanks! Next time I'll actually stop there.
OMG I LOVE THIS MAN. This video brings back so many memories
Lived in Ft. Myers Beach and worked in Naples. Went by Red Coconut twice a day, talk about a dream drive to work!
Very nice
Awesome nice view
I loved the new cam positioning. Another excellent video. Hope see more soon.
Fábio Marcos Euzébio Thank you!
We are going there in two weeks. Great video. Looking forward to our trip. Thanks for posting.
Joe Carollo Hey enjoy. It is a wonderful place. We stayed at site 18.
Sunsets were worth the trip.
Love your videos, I think I'm ready now to purchase a travel trailer and hit the road with my family!
+ikon One of the best purchases I've made in my life.
+TravelingRobert Thank you!
Nice place. Good video.
Thank you
you are very good at doing the voice over. well done!
Thank you!
SÜPER SÜPER AGAIN
Your jolly get 'er done in site is awesome. We are leaving for Key West tomorrow morning with a new 30-footer and it just seems like a handful but I will be so happy to get there. Key West Naval Air Station said we can stay there for $16 a day for up to 6 months. Take care my friend...
If I could stay there for $16 a day I would live there. You are very fortunate.
Robert Gilmore, you are absolutely correct! It turned out to be reality. We already have reservations to return for 181 days. They raise the rent to $17 a day 😎🌴🦈
You make my family rv life easier... thank you for that...💞💞💞
This is amazing! I am planing to do a Florida roadtrip next year and this is something I will include in that :)
Thank you Robert :)
David Larsson Enjoy your trip!
I highly recommend the Sand Bar restaurant on Estero for a fabulous grouper sandwich - nothing better
A friend of mine from the Northeast was down in Florida decided to do some fly fishing, you no wading and casting. He found a place all to him self and caught a few fish let them go. He got to talking to a fella in a tackle shop, describing his quiet day of fishing out in the spot he found where nobody was at. And that fella said, "You were fishing there?" "People only fish that place by boat, to catch bull sharks!"
My friend said, "I was seeing these shadows, some big, but I thought they were clouds, birds flying overhead."
I thought of that story when you were in that murky water, way away from the shore, holding the camera, where no one else was.
Nice camera, water proof and good sound.
Now I'll never swim there again :-) ...just kidding. I'm not afraid of sharks but never seen on a in the wild either. The camera is a GoPro with the water proof enclosure. Thank you!
Very nice video, Robert! Best wishes on your travels.
+FumariVI Thank you!
Next time you stay at the Red Coconut, check out Heidi's German restaurant right across the street.
+georose33 Thanks for the tip. Will do
@@TravelingRobert Funny seeing my old comment now that I've lived here for over 3 years.
The Ocean isn't as pretty as it is in Key West. I hope you go Deep Sea Fishing this season. again, very enjoyable. ;)
+icollectstuffdude Thank you! I hope to do some underwater stuff soon.
very nice
+9mm james Thanks!
Ahora me me doy cuenta vive en Miami. Aveces voy .I love there .
You have a nice narrator voice
I found your channel, since I have a lot of time staying at home due to the virus. I like your adventures and I was wondering how heavy is your trailer. I'm surprised that your Kia can pull it.
A GM same here
@Ron Gillespie Thanks
I'm so dumb, I should have gone to Ft Myers this weekend, I was thinking on going, but I decided for Panama City Beach because it's around 4 hours from where I live. Ft. Myers looks smaller and more in tune to what I was looking for a relaxed weekend. Instead I went to PCB, even though it's at least 3 weeks before Spring Break, it is noisy at night. It was chilly on the morning as well.
+Crurned I'm going to Destin in June. I hope it is nice.
Hi Robert how you like you new truck?
Nice video. But it enrages me. We were suppose to leave today for Red Coconut for our yearly 2week stay there. Thanks Covid 19!!!!
Thx Robert. Stay safe
I like camera from trailer more then a car mount. Can see more landscape...
Yeah me too. I'm always afraid it is going to get blown over though.
take the trolley to get around, especially in-season, traffic is outrageous sometimes.
Do you know if it is possible to rent cabins or trailers in Red Coconut Park, if you come without camper or RV? It really look like a nice place to stay a few days ;-) You mentioned the B&Bs, just wondered if there were other options.
Thanks for another great travel video ;-)
Hi. they do have some rentals but I have no idea how much ir how it works. There are plenty of other options in Ft. Myers Beach if you don't have an RV. many waterfront hotels. Thank you for watching. I'm glad you liked it.
Rock on @ 9:50
Nice video but could never go there since it’s another park where you’re jammed in next to your neighbor like a row houses in a city which I’m trying to get away from.
Nice! Minitini was a good deal for you two!
How did the Red Coconut fair from the storm? Hoping it survived.
From what I've seen it was completely destroyed except for part of the main building. Very sad.
@@TravelingRobert So sad, hopefully they will rebuild.
also Robert since You seem to be well traveled Is at beach and RV resorts in Florida, Do you know of any RV beachfront resorts that allow dogs to be on the beach on/off a leash? appreciate any Knowledge on this
@Traveling Robert see above
Fort DeSoto in St. Pete is pet friendly
min 4:58 was that the first "fly pelican" ?? lol
One of the first for sure.
Great videos, have you tried Fort Desoto?
Thanks! Desoto is on the short list for sure, but I hear you have to reserve way in advance. I'm thinking next year most likely.
does anyone know if you can take your dogs into the town as you referred to 'times square'?
I don't know
if your don't mind me asking Robert, how do you take so much time of work to do these vacations?
Uzi K I don't take nearly as much as I would like. I try to pull off long weekends, taking half of Friday off. The dream is to be able to do this full time, so I can make more videos.
Excellent VIdeo! do you happen to remember the site number you were on?
Thanks. Site 18.
Why is everyone moving to Miami in Florida instead of the West Coast? Aren't the beaches up north on the East Coast nicer? And aren't the beaches in the west coast nicer as well?
Beats me
Alligator Alley is US 41
Hi Robert I reserved in red coconut, was site 17 the one you stayed?
+Antonio Ruiz I'm pretty sure it was site 18. The one next to the beach access path.
Ok rented for a week and I know all the sites are pretty tight I wanted to know how tight that particular site was
Robert, how do you lock the trailer when you take the tow vehicle out? I have just bought a minnie winnie (named: Serenity). Thanks mate.
+Matthew Gilbert I a coupler latch lock. Master Lock 2847DAT Stainless Steel Adjustable Coupler Latch Lock www.amazon.com/dp/B001B0QBZ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-TQzxb72JB47N
At least it prevents people from hitching and taking the trailer.
Thank you sir! By the way, be sure to visit my state, Wa State. Port Townsend would be an amazing trip for you (be sure to take the city tour and ferry ride system to Seattle). Thanks again! See you "on the road." :)
Also, I'm not sure if this would ever be something you might be interested in, but for us "new" campers/rv folk, a video on how to use the grey/black water systems, electronic balancer - how to balance the trailer, "tips" for camping, etc., would be extremely valuable - not a lot out there! hehe
Or at the very least, not a lot out there with quality... thanks again!
Curious as to why you had to unhook. Is it a policy of that campground that you can't tow your own trailer to the site?
I guess it is like a valet service, since that part of the campground is kind of tight.
+TravelingRobert looked like you pulled your own trailer out of campground when leaving. I didn't know there was an rv valet service.
Funny funny funny stuff at 7 minutes. Don't you harvest iguanas with a BB gun. Lol they are delicious
Man, you should do voice over work....
Thanks
