Beach Boys vacation spots

Does anyone know of anyone, including themselves, that have traveled to all the places in the song "Kokomo"? You know Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahamas, Key Largo, Montego and finally Kokomo strictly because of the song? My wife said it was once on her bucket list and I thought it was a pretty interesting idea.

Because of the song, no. But I've been to most of them.

I have traveled to exactly none of those, but I'd love to.
I think that's a great bucket list item.

There are better islands to put on a bucket list.

Just get there fast, then take it slow

I've been to Montego, but not Jamaica.

Kokomo isn't a real place. I haven't been to Bermuda or Port-Au-Prince.

Kokomo is in Fiji.

I've been to Kokomo, Mississippi.
It wasn't that exciting.

There may be a place in Fiji called Kokomo just like there is a place in Arkansas and Hawaii but relative to the song it doesn't exist. At least nowhere "off the Florida Keys" as the song states.

Yeah, I'm that guy that if I have a bucket list it's going to have awesome places on it. Not fricking Jamaica. It even has Jamaica twice.

You're right. Good point. I'm not a Beach Boy fan by any means. Just figured since Kokomo is an actual tropical place that maybe they were referring to it. Although Jamaica isn't in the keys either and The Beach Boys are from Cali. Closer to Fiji than the Keys.

They never said Jamaica was in the keys.
They do however say "Off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo" in the song.

Anyone that goes Negril and doesn't love it has serious issues.
