Decided to take part in the 11 AM poker tournament, which would be my first time playing poker live.  Few hands of note.  Early on was dealt KQx which paired the king on the flop.  Bet T200, and the gentleman a few seats to my left went all in.  I called him and he flipped over KJx.  No jack on the flop or turn and I doubled up off of him.

Woke up at 5:45AM EST for my 8:00 AM flight.  Flight left on time, which is a first for me when flying anywhere.  My seat was in the back and I was one of the first people to board, so I spent the time watching other passengers board.  Now let me tell you about Ferarri Cowboy.  Ferarri Cowboy is old man in his 70s.  Why do I call him Ferarri Cowboy?  It’s because he was wearing a huge red cowboy hat (which was the first of many I saw on my trip).  Also, he is wearing a red Ferarri jacket.

I hate sitting around at work shortly before leaving on a trip.  This week has been going by so SLOWLY.  But in 24 hours (baring any flight delays) I should be in Vegas!

So I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a winter vacation.  I’ve been itching for some time now to take off and do something sans the family, and this seems like the best option.  Aparently, Vegas is really cheap in December; Orbitz had a deal for 3 nights at the MGM Grand for $519 bucks, nonstop airfare included.  After applying a $75 off promo code my trip turned out to be less than $450 dollars.  

I’ve been to Las Vegas once, in the 80s when I was a kid.  I know the place has changed dramatically since then and I look forward to enjoying all the sites, shows, and gaming that Vegas provides.  Stay tuned for updates!
