BOWL TOUR REALITY CHECK

[pinkmartini]

The University of Minnesota Alumni Association has the official bowl tour
for the Minnesota Gophers.
I see their tour is $899 per person for 3 nights based on double same as 2006.
WISCONSIN
no air tour advertised as of yet
NORTHWESTERN
3 night tour with air is $1899 based on double
IOWA
3 night tour with air is $1455 based on double.

It might pay to be a Gopher Fan and we have further to travel.

my two cents on the varying costs. becky has to fly out of a dumpy little feeder airport like madison so that would lead me to believe their rate will also be higher. logic would also apply to the hogeyes in iowa city. not sure, why it would cost so much to go from chicago to san antonio.

As a recent and former San Antonio resident, it is a small airport for a city its size and there are few direct flights in and out of there except from Dallas, Houston, and Mexico City. It was always expensive to fly to there and out of there.

These bowl trips are for rich people who can't do any work for themselves.

$1800 for my wife and I to travel is out of our price range. That's with out game tickets.
