Actually, I looked into vacation plans for Christmas Island a couple of years ago. As a scuba diver it is a unique destination because, yearly, hundreds of thousands of crabs journey to the shore to drop eggs which hatch in the coastal waters. This brings large sea life, like whale sharks, in abundance. Then the tiny babies make a new journey to the highlands coating everything red. It is something that only happens on this island.
However, it is hard for me to call it a typical South Pacific Island as the only way I could find to get there was via Australia. Maybe he should have included didgeridoos. The island is very remote and probably has a sound all it's own, if you REALLY want to get technical. Buffets music is all about fun, not reproducing exactly what someone else has done. Lighten up!
I love that some people on this board get so pissed about Jimmy Buffet. It's funny how he makes Forbes list of entertainers every year and his music is not played on the radio. Hmmmmmm?
