I set out at 5am yesterday morning on my journey to Gatwick. After i said an upsetting goodbye to my wife and sleeping kids, my father-in-law took me down to the airport. He used to be in the police 
and he was an advanced driver. He loves driving so much that when he retired he set up his own private hire firm doing mainly airport runs. He had a pickup at Gatwick at 8am which was the same time i had to be there, which was a result, so a good start to the trip.
I get to the airport and meet Sunday and Coca 919. I also see Julian and a few others I know. The plane journey was looooooooooooong but I managed to get 3 seats to myself so I could stretch out a bit. We got to St Kitts and were greeted with cold beers and bongo music which really set the scene (oh and its nice and warm 
)
I get to the hotel and check in, get a room and take the long walk to it in this fantastic and huge hotel. I finally get there and cant wait to have a shower and freshen up when I have result number 2. I walk in only to find a woman in the bed. I dont remember paying for this so I go back to reception to get another room. They give me some free drinks for my troubles so I decide to go to the bar before going to my room. In the bar I find Julian who also hasn't got a room so we have a few beers before going to our respective rooms. I walk into this room only to find another woman in there. I know you are probably thinking my luck couldnt get any better but all I really want is a shower and to get changed. So I walk the long walk back to reception where I get given another room. It is 3rd time lucky (or unlucky, whichever way you look at it) because the room is empty. By this time it is 7.50pm and we have a welcome party to attend at 8pm. so I have a quick shower and change. I get down to the party at about 8.30pm and have more free beer 
. - such a hard life.
After the party a few of us decide to have a sit n go, $50 buyin. Unfortunatley for me my $50 was dead money as Smokin Steve Vlader wiped the floor with us. Somebody then said lets have another one, great, I thought another $50 I probably wouldnt see again. This time it was Julian who took care of me. after he kept raising my blinds and I was quite short I decided to make a stand with 2-4o. Yes I know what you are all thinking but my reasoning was I thought I would have 2 live cards but you know Julian they werent live at all and I was gone. 
I then went and got something to eat at about 1.15am with a guy called John. You might remember John, he was a William Hill qualifier for the Main Event in Vegas and finished 18th. Shortly after we ordered, Phil Quayle (bobby1), Steve Vlader and Xuyen Pham joined us. (Sorry for any spelling mistakes.) So that was a plesent end to a very busy day.
Onto today. My plans for today are to play a $200 event at 2pm so wish me luck for that and to have some more beers . I will probably let you know tomorrow morning how I get on.
Thanks for listening.
Dan.
