Geocache Description:


*news flash* 12/9/2010
I edited to increase the difficulty as this was meant to be a Very easy puzzle; but I have been informed that not all computers have the necessary tools to solve the puzzle as originally intended, though most should be able to find them.
Regardless, it still can be deciphered with a little perseverance and simple substitution/decryption skills;
If you have given it a fair go, please e-mail and I will be happy to at least get you singing in the right key
Good luck & thanks for trying.

I wanted to make this a larger cache with musical prizes, but sorry, I just couldn't find the right container so you will be hunting a nano, so BYO pen! Hope you have fun with it anyway.

Jimmy Buffet
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night

Chorus:
Its these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane

Reading departure signs in some big airport Reminds me of the places Ive been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
Ive seen more than I can recall

Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane

I think about paris when Im high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin again
Oh, yesterdays over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me A
nd I know that I just can't go wrong

Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldnt laugh I just would go insane
If we couldnt laugh we just would go insane
If we werent all crazy we would go insane
With all of my punning and lack of cunning
If we couldn't laugh , this puzzle would drive us insane!
