Hi All, just got back from an amazing trip in Australia playing with the folks down under (Even ran into Bosko from Bosko and Honey on the street...what a coincidence!) and interviewing Allen McFarlen of Barron River Guitars (who made one of my custom ukes I took to Australia). I thought it would be fun to see how many miles I traveled with my uke over the past three weeks.
I will say the Reunion Blues bags are fricken awesome. I took my tenor in my RB bag and had no problems on any airline, even the little rubber band prop plane I took to Hervey Bay heading over to Fraser Island. I was freaking out thinking my case would never fit in the overhead of a Dehavilland Twin Otter (I convinced myself it would not) but it did...barely...with some squeezing but it worked.
All in all we traveled from San Francisco, to Nadi Fiji, on to Sydney, then over to Melbourne, up to Cairns, over to Brisbane, hop over to Hervey Bay, back to Brisbane, then to Fiji, and finally back to SFO.
All in all, we traveled 32,188 miles together in 3 weeks.
How far have you traveled with your uke?
Cheers,
Jay
