Update please Mr Anthony
Last night of a truly wonderful holiday tonight, best of my life, flying home tomorrow, so will Update you once I'm home, probably over the weekend or early next week.
What about you Mr P?
Over the summer we went to a place which I thought you'd love. Will be intrigued to know if it was a same place as I think you went to the USA again, and you are a big fan of Scotland/Norway.
It was Alaska and Vancouver Island. The West Coast of Vancouver Island is just like stunning view after stunning view. Rains a bit, but people are down to earth and food simple but somehow really good. Think you'd love it if you didn't go there. Alaska similar really. Alaska is much more like Vancouver Island than Vancouver Island is like Vancouver. FWIW I know a few poker players go to Vancouver for WCOOP and really think they should just go that little bit further.
Thanks David.
Sounds right up our street.
We'd probably use Amtrak up to Vancouver & then work from there. We've done most of the West Coast Amtrak from San Diego right up as far as Seattle, & it's a terrific journey, especially through Oregon, so that little bit extra up to Vancouver would be fun.
Presumably you took the family, did they enjoy it?
You still playing poker? With Sky, or elsewhere? Not sure how much fun Sky is now it's joined I-Poker. There's a Sky Poker Discord Channel which I occasionally peruse, but I've moved on & to be honest, I'm not sure I'd enjoy still being part of it, I have a different agenda these days. I wish them all well though & I miss a few of the crew. I don't miss the Moaning Minnies though.
Sorry about the delay. Am busy at times.
I think you told me you were going to Hawaii when we were in Vegas, so my guesses were probably worse than you thought.
On Vancouver Island, you can get a ferry from Seattle, so don't even need to go to Vancouver proper. Got quite excited about it. Can even go up to the Yukon, which is even more wild and remote. You can have a road trip through Alaska to the Yukon too, but guess there must be some car switching going on, as you are in 2 different countries. There is pretty much one road up via Vancouver and one up via the Rockies, so don't really need a satnav. Drive 1000kms, get to Yellowknife, turn left, take the other road back kind of thing. Genuinely want to do this now.
You got no mobile signal out of towns, so very much like it used to be. Would be strange to breakdown with no phones etc. Guess people just stop and help you out still. Can't imagine many of them driving past, maybe I am too optimistic?
We genuinely just came across a bear wondering done the road at one point. You can even catch sight of dolphins and whales from the Ferry, but we were out of luck. kids loved it really. Vancouver Island just had the very best zipline through a canyon. The eldest is very much like me and loves adventure, so we did a bit of kayaking too. I can't see the youngest ever taking up ice hockey (she just needs somewhere to perch and watch her phone and she is happy). If we'd stay longer, we'd have fit more in.
Don't really play poker much at all now. Friday is ice hockey practice, weekend she has games, so I fit it around that. Am lucky to get one night a week these days, but still play the Sky ipoker games if I can whilst they are still running. Am thinking of trying to play some WSOP circuit events at DTD. They are only doing Omaha and not hi lo though. Might see you there?
Btw I know you always talk about my kids like they are about 5. Eldest had an entrance exam to Cambridge on Thursday. Apparently it is one of those places that is kind of a big deal. Very proud obv; even if she doesn't get in.
