Polynesians, the original Hawaiian people, are known for their sunny and gracious personalities. They think of everyone as part of their family. So they often call anyone who visits Hawaii "Cousin” as a gesture of friendship and welcome. An island of eternal summer, Hawaii has hosted the NFL Pro Bowl, played at the end of each season after Super Bowl, at Aloha Stadium every year since 1980. Historically, players at Pro Bowl tend to "play soft" (because the event has no effect upon players' or teams' statistics and records— and the fact that the game is played at the very end of the season). In recent years, Pro Bowl players treat the event just like a regular game, playing more offensively than past decades.

However, Pro Bowl is still played after the season, so especially for the winners of Super Bowl, it has different meaning. Super Bowl XLI's MVP, Peyton Manning, enjoyed Pro Bowl 2007 after finally capturing his first Super Bowl title. "I wouldn't say I'm very well rested, but it's the kind that you like," he said during that week. "Sunday night was a lot of fun, into the wee hours of Monday morning, and that was fun to be able to share with my teammates and family."

And Hawaii is the perfect locale for super-achievers to relax as they notice the earthly paradise around them. How about you? Release your tensions from everyday hard work, and enjoy this opportunity as your bonus. Bring and entertain your clients, while you soak up the Hawaiian sun. When you arrive at Aloha Stadium, you might hear the tour bus driver announce, "All right, cousin. Enjoy football and Hawaii! Aloha!"
