Mancations and Bromances

The travel industry loves trends, and one of the better ones is the idea of a Mancation, aka Bromance.   Resorts, hotels and tour agencies are now reaching out to men with the idea that true bonding can only take place if wives and girlfriends are left at home, no doubt enjoying their own vacation from the hairy beast they share a bed with.   I'm currently in Whistler-Blackcomb, North America's best ski resort, on a Bromance.   I'll be snowboarding and pub crawling, snowmobiling,  bob-sleighing and boozing with six other male journalists I have yet to meet.  Bromances are one of a series of deals and packages offered by the resort, great for bachelor parties and corporate getaways -  because every woman knows that inside every man there is a little boy who loves to play with his toys.  I discuss the rules of a Mancation in this fun clip below,  in which my brothers, Dad and I hired an RV and went off to explore the Rockies.   We drive, we drink beer, we wear leather chaps, we channel our manliness...while off camera pining like little girls for the lovely ladies who make us the men we are.  Time to man up! ​
