Off to Mexico for Adventure Watches
Wednesday, February 07, 2007 -- OK, so I blew my prediction of the Super Bowl. I enjoyed the game, though it was filled with mistakes, and I wasn't unhappy that Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl. Good for him.
I do think, however, that the NFL should look at venues a little harder in the future. It might be a good idea to commit to playing all Super Bowl's in a dome. I know that this was the first bad weather game for a Super Bowl, but the weather certainly had an impact on the game. Not the outcome, but the level of performance in the game.
I went to the Festina gold factory in Cordoba, Spain at the end of last week and it was fascinating. They do everything to make gold cases and bracelets -- they smelt the gold, they form it, then deform it and create solid gold cases in yellow, white and rose gold. Very cool; you can look for a story in InSync about the factory and Festina in general.
So, I am packing for a trip to Mexico. It's really a vacation, trying to recharge our batteries before we get into the hustle and bustle of the Spring watch shows, but I will also be doing some stories for InSync while down there. I am taking some adventure watches so I can find my way through the jungles to the beach...no I mean Mayan Ruins. That's right, Mayan Ruins.
Seriously, I am excited about seeing the Mayan Ruins and I am working with the tourist board from that part of Mexico to set up an off-the-beaten-track kind of adventure to put these compass and exploring watches to the test. Wish me luck!
I will also visit a watch retailer while I am down there -- I will be keeping busy for some of the time there.
So, for now, hasta luego!
