    you do realize there is a better than 50% chance we arent playing at the Alamo Bowl this year, right?

    We have had the same 50 yard line tickets to every Alamo Bowl since it debuted 25 years ago. It’s always just a 2 night holiday getaway for us no matter who is playing...... except aggy (sold those to my neighbor).

    This is the first time the bowl game has been scheduled on New Year’s Eve, so it might be a bit different. There’s a post game party at the dome, and a pool party at midnight at the hotel.

    And the other relatives invariably make the excuse for them, “oh they don’t like to spend money on hotel rooms.”   Like that’s some kinda bold, Orman-sequel stance on finances.  Yeah, nobody likes dropping $200 night at the holidays just to sleep and catch a shower.  But adults in the real world save up and do it so we are not an inconvenience to the homeowners.  
     

    seeing five adults strewn about the sofas and air mattresses is odd to see. 

    I’m kind of a hotel tightwad, but am fixing to spend $700 for a two night stay at the Grand Hyatt on the Riverwalk to see the Alamo Bowl. It’s a New Years Eve package.

    Never have spent more than $150/night for a hotel room except for my son’s wedding in the Bahamas 16 years ago.

  3. Not necessarily thief proof, but  they certainly can discourage most of the smash & grab meth head burglars. And they can be fire  resistant.  Always bolt them down to your slab floor if possible. What can be carted in on a dolly can be carted out the same way.
