Mac goes "Down Under" with Jimmy Buffett and Coral Reefers

It all started early Monday morning. Coral Reefers from around the country were up and moving toward the Hotlanta Airport with our destination, summer time in Sydney Australia, the land called Oz, clearly in our sights.

Peter, Mac and I met up with Nadirah Shakoor and John Lovell and our posse of crew and techs, all good folks and friends for the first leg of our journey, a stop-over in LA. You can imagine the scene, over half of the First Class section filled with the Buffett group. There were movies, chatter and lots of snacks and refreshments. (Let the party begin!)

With the sun long gone on it’s way to the Far Side of the World we took off from LA, enjoyed several movies, some more snacks and some seriously good zzzzzzzs. Before we knew it we were in Sydney where we met up with the rest of the gang that had converged on this incredible city, hopped a huge bus named Jimmy Buffett and were off to our hotel.

It’s no secret that people from Australia are super friendly, and from my experience you can add relaxed, polite and seriously good-natured. Our gang motored through the streets of Sydney, they are always fun with witty chit-chat and a decent measure of good old BS to keep the journey entertaining. I’m so glad I’m a part of this and that goes for all of you who have joined us on this Parrothead odyssey!
