Anyone who wants to know when and where the pool photo was taken can find out with a little work. I'm too lazy and don't care enough to do it, but I'm confident there are plenty of able persons on this forum that could.
Go to the original post and grab the photo. The metadata associated with the photo is still there. That metadata contains not only the date and time the photo was taken, but, depending on the camera, probably has exact longitude and latitude coordinates of the origin. If this was a cell phone pic, it absolutely has all that data embedded. These are the things I try to explain to my teenage kids about photos they post to the internet. Unless you are extremely careful, there is no anonymity in a public (or private) space. This guy doesn't seem savvy enough to take the kind of precautions necessary to create an airtight hoax. Besides, I don't think GT is refuting the Arizona trip. I think that's part of what was self-reported. Airfare was $233 each.
Here's a famous example of that data being used ... some online services (facebook, etc.) strip it out when you post a pic.
