The Big Trip is tomorrow!
Alright so I am going to be packing tonight, for my trip tomorrow. I am doing the trip in 3 days as explained previously. The first leg is from Charlotte to Little Rock, the next is Little Rock to Albuquerque and then onto Vegas. I posted my planned route here. I was planning to hang out with an old friend Little Rock, but he had something come up so I will be just stopping in a hotel there. If anyone else who still lives in Little Rock wants to grab a drink feel free to drop me a line. Either way, the big leg of the trip is the second one. It is suppose to be a 13 hour trip, but it shouldn’t be that big of a deal since I will just be driving to a hotel. Here’s the planned trip in map form:

I’ve never done a drive like this so I am curious to see how well I hold up. If i’m completely miserable, I might just ship everything back home and fly… but somehow I have a feeling its not gonna be that bad. I am kind of a robot when it comes to driving. It’s soothing to me. I am a little scared though, because alot can happen in 2200 miles. I went through all the precautions of getting new tires and getting my car checked out, but somehow I’m still nervous about getting out there with no problems. I think i’ve planned for everything though, and covered all bases.
I am planning to download some audiobooks for the ride as those always seem to help me. Please please please if you have some suggestions for books, tell me now. I really like thinking books, with some action in them. Something along the lines of ‘angels and demons’. Also i’m pondering booking hotel rooms prior to driving, but if anyone who has done this before tells me otherwise, i might just wing it… cause who knows what kinda mood i’m gonna be in.
Once I get to vegas I will have very little time to get setup as 3 of my best friends are coming into town on thursday, and will wanna throw down. I’m very excited to just get everything setup and get into the pool. I am gonna relax I think from monday til thursday and probably try to put in some decent volume online. We’ll see how I feel when i get out there tho. So that’s basically all there is for the drive. I am ready to go! No bad beats in 2200 miles, one time!
On the poker front, this no hh converter thing for cake is driving me batty. I don’t know how I’m doing for the month. If i had to guess, i’m up about 3k and have played 18k hands. That’s just a stab in the dark though. I am running ok, but i keep taking bad beats in pretty crucial spots. Either way, I don’t care at this point. I will be taking a 3 day break from poker for the drive.
Talk to you guys in vegas!
welp, don’t die!
