Hawaii, the world’s number one vacation spot, is also host to one of the premier sports attractions every winter: the NFL Pro Bowl. On Saturday, February 10, 2007, the best players from the AFC will challenge their counterparts from the NFC in the classic face-off, set in Honolulu's 50,000-seat Aloha Stadium on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu.

If you’re wondering how the Pro Bowl stacks up against the Super Bowl, there’s no contest: Pro Bowl tickets are easier to get and are less expensive, you don’t have to fight crowds, and nothing beats relaxing in the Hawaii sun and watching the pros strut their stuff in warm, picture-perfect playing conditions.

Being a huge sports fan myself, every year I book one of the Pro Bowl packages to Oahu – and every year I have a fantastic time. And this year (yes, I’ve already booked my trip), I’m taking advantage of a great Pro Bowl vacation package I found that starts at just $1,349 per person (double occupancy) and includes round-trip airfare from Los Angeles or San Francisco (my home base), accommodations for four nights, game tickets, airport/hotel transfers, transfers to and from Aloha Stadium on game day, and a VIP Official NFL Pro Bowl Tailgate Party, including reserved seating, drinks, VIP menu, and visits with the NFL players and cheerleaders (it just doesn’t get any better than this!).

As for the game, it’s anyone’s guess. But whether Peyton and Eli Manning go head to head, Tom Brady’s a “lock” or LaDainian Tomlinson runs wild, a great time is sure to be had by all.
