I was wondering if anyone has made the journey to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii and could recommend how much time I should spend on Oahu. Currently I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, so I would like to fly over for the weekend to see the Pro Bowl. But, I'm wondering if there are any other things that go on during Pro Bowl weekend that I should check out such as a QB challenge, NFL celebrity golfing events, or other competitions such as those.

So basically, do you think I should just fly out Sunday morning to see only the game or it it worth it to fly out on Saturday to check out the Pro Bowl festivities?

I'm looking forward to seeing about 10 Green Bay Packers in the Pro Bowl this year.

If you're really up for doing this, i'd recommend making a fun weekend out of it. The Pro Bowl is usually a boring game and it's not worth a plane ride on its own.

The plane ticket would be about $70, so it wouldn't kill my wallet. I'm actually a fan of the Pro Bowl game itself even though it lacks the intensity of a real game. It has its moments. I remember last year Sean Taylor just absolutely leveled Buffalo's punter and he ended up congratulating him on the hit.

I'm just wondering what other events there are that are worth going to on the weekend besides the game.
