LarsLuzak Owes Me A Simpsons DVD...

So, like a bad stableboy I'm closing the gate to the non-blogging world long after the fadhorse (Fad Horse, Fad Horse, Fad Horse, he's Fad!) has left the internet barn.

My good friend Benjo suggested I should write...something about my travels and travails given that I'm going on a trip around the Pacific for a couple of months. I'll be avoiding all work and generally wasting decent amounts of money while gaining, I don't want to say 'life experience', as I abhor that phrase but something hopefully tantamount to experiencing memories in the present rather having to wistfully remember them in the future.

In a few hours, I'll be jetting off from Heathrow, an airport that pretty much works like a water sprinkler, spraying people in every direction. That will be Sunday morning, but we won't arrive until Monday night local time. Originally I was going to just go on my own but now traveling with me is this man. So at least one of us can refer to themselves as a 'poker player'. Meanwhile I've emptied most of my accounts, leaving around $1500 in my Stars account for now, I'd be insulting myself if I did all this traveling and then spent most of it playing online.

The travel dates are as follows:
27th December: Heathrow >> 28th December: Melbourne
27th January: Sydney >> Auckland
3rd February: Auckland >> Nadi (Fiji)
14th February: Nadi (Fiji) >> Honolulu
24th February: Honolulu >> San Francisco
28th February: San Francisco >> Las Vegas
3rd March: Las Vegas >> 4th March: Heathrow

Anyway if I can distill just a fraction of these precious times then it will be worthwhile, I may be an average sieve, but this river is big enough that even I should be able to find some gold.

Song of the day: Killin' - The Apples


And yes, LarsLusak borrowed a Simpsons DVD from me at EPT London and I still haven't got it back yet. I got grimmed. :(
