Jimmy Buffett, American's party pirate-in-chief and unofficial ambassador to all things tropical, has lived in, traveled in, and written many songs about the Caribbean.
Both in interviews and song lyrics, he's been open about sharing some of his favorite Caribbean spots with fans; Buffett songs include stories of sunny days and foggy nights spent on islands like Jamaica (where police in Negril once shot at Buffett's plane, thinking it was being used to smuggle drugs), Cuba ("Havana Daydreamin'"), St. Barths, St. Martin ("For five wild years in L'Orient, the party never stopped..."), Barbados ("Thought I might sail down to Bridgetown, spend some time in the Barbados sun"), Martinique ("Well now, if I ever live to be an old man, I'm gonna sail down to Martinique, I'm gonna buy me a sweat stained Bogart suit, and an African parakeet."), Tortola, Antigua, and even Haiti.
So if you're a Parrothead, or just want a taste of the carefree life celebrated by Buffett in his music, here's a guide to walking in some of Jimmy's sandy footsteps:
