So this Canadian guy that I know recently had some plans change and needs good ideas for a vacation in the first week of January time frame.

Any ideas?

The bruceketball'rs play in MHK on 1/5. Noticed that Friday when I was looking at my flight itinerary for a trip that sounds eerily similar to Pete's.

That's the Oklahoma State game, the first Big 12 game of the oscar Weber era. You'd think people would be more excited about that.

I love skiing. But, Mrs Pete is terrible at it.

Resort & Spa at a beautiful locale in Colorado. You ski, she spas.

4-5 hours. I know some people who did this in 03 and are probably going to do it again if we beat UT. I don't know if that helps, but if they are wanting to do it again, I'd say it's not a bad idea.

Puerto Vallarta. We're headed the Tuesday after CTR.

Thursday/Sunday nights are the biggest TV nights of the week.

After an afternoon ice cream pak with J-Dub and Tobias, feeling like I'll do Tempe if we get there.

Spending the whole workweek in Arizona to get the pregame bowl experience vs. spending Friday - Sunday in Florida.

OK, looks like Cancun is the leader in the clubhouse at this point. SF/Napa Valley is a contender as well, but Cancun has a solid lead. I've never been to either location.

Do I watch the Fiesta Bowl from a Marriott in Napa Valley or the JW Marriott in Cancun? Thoughts?

If, IF we make the Fiesta Bowl, I will not go. I've been before, when it was in Tempe. That was OK. Got to see Bish beat McNabz. Fun game, but pretty shitty town...and Tempe is more fun than most spots in the Phoenix area. I'm going with wife, so golfing vacation to Scottsdale is out...sooo, zero reasons to go to Phoenix. (also, Oregon would beat us by a bunch).

Even worse, if we don't beat UT, we'll fall to Alamo. Been there before too, not going back.

Nope, it's Cancun I think.

What do you have to do with it?

If this was about you instead of a Canadian guy, wouldn't you be watching the game at home the night before flying somewhere?

Good questions, Perry Matlock.

Fiesta Bowl is on the 3rd, and I plan to be drinking a drink with an umbrella on it by late afternoon that day. Canadian guy is out, for reasons that I cannot disclose (he's in the CIA, but do not let that leave this board, TIA).
