Monday sept 18, 2006 - Trip Plans
Well it has been a couple days, so lets see. I managed to get my passport, or at least it is in the mail, it should be here on the 25th. The trip to Mexico is out! Sorry dad I just have too much stuff to get done over the next 11 days. I know it is a lame reason but if I was more organized I probably would have got it in. It was also Shirley's birthday on Saturday and I didn't want to miss it!
So I'm a little worried to see how much my next phone bill is going to be as I have been calling Las Vegas, Chicago, Kansas City, Las Angles and Denver like non-stop over the last 3 days. But the first month of the trip is booked! This is what is happening over the first month, we are leaving Milton on Sept 29th. We'll drive for about 8 and a half hours and stop just outside Chicago at the Hollywood Casino in Aurora, Illinois (http://www.hollywoodcasinoaurora.com/). We have a room booked there for 2 nights, Friday sept 29 and Saturday sept 30. I talked to the poker room there and it sounds like they have good action, with at least two 10/20's around the clock and 20/40 going must of the time! Then on the morning of Sunday Oct 1st, it is back to the road for another 8 and a half hours until we hit Kansas City. We have a room booked for two nights at Harrahs Prairie Band Casino just outside Kansas City(www.harrahs.com/casinos/harrahs-pririe-band/). It is a division of Harrras casino. It looks really nice. After earning our keep at the poker tables we are going to head out and drive for 8 and a half hours to Denver, CO. We'll be staying at the Lodge Casino outside Denver for 2 nights Tues. Oct 3 and Wed Oct 4th(http://www.thelodgecasino.com/). This looks like a little casino, and I doubt there will be a lot of action there as the max bet in the state Colorado is 5 dollars, so the biggest game they can have is 5-5 limit. That is ok as we'll probably spend a day in Denver.
Then we leave for the long haul to Las Vegas on the morning of October 5. It should take 10 and a half hours, to get to the Orleans Casino, where we will spend the rest of October. I know I know I can hear you all... I thought he said he was getting an apartment... But after carefully looking around the internet and numerous phone calls I decided that after rent, heat, hydro, cable installation, and (get this) furniture rental, it really wouldn't be much more it just stay in one of the casinos. So I booked the Orleans, it is cheap, we have stayed there before and it has what Shirley wants.
Now the plan is too book the Commerce Casino in L.A. for November. I have not got to this yet but I will, I might do it when we are in Vegas. So that is where the trip stands. As for me I have been playing some golf. Not shooting very well but still shooting. I have played quite a bit of poker over the last week.
Monday Brantford 3 hours +800
Tuesday Brantford 8 hours -2000
Thursday Brantford 4 hours - 300
Sunday Brantford 4 hours +975
That makes for 19 hours and -525 of live action. I have also put in quite a few hours online. I'm not going to write out each session but I'm even to the penny. It sucks for the amount of hours I have played but what can ya do. Shirley has been KICKING some ass. She has now won 5 sessions in a row and is up close to 2000. I'm telling ya she is going to kick Las Vegas in the ass!!
Once we hit the road I'm going to start every blog like this:
Total cash : 15,000
Eric's play: -5000
Shirley's play: +5000
The total cash will be how much money we have total in our pocket. We are leaving with 15,000 USD but are going to pay for everything with this money. Eric's play and Shirleys play is how much we are up or down with poker play ONLY.
Anyway, I have gone on too long. I will try to have an update a little sooner next time so it is not so long!
