I bought a new suitcase today from a local shop. £40 wasn"t too bad and my old case had seen better days. The packing starts tonight and the polo shirts are folded and stacked ready for loading. The APAT ones are in, the Chezger top is in even though it"s showing the signs of age, and my lucky Harrahs polo is also in and it must be ten years old now!
I live near Gatwick and Virgin offer a good service called Twilight check in where you can take your case up the night before the flight and get your boarding card. Saves any queues on the morning and you can head straight through to departures. So I"ll be heading up there on Wednesday night to get rid of the bag.
Three days and counting...........

Have a great trip mate and say well done to Joe :)
Here"s some helpful hints if you are struggling with the lingo
Harrahs = Ha-Razz
The Aria = The R-ree-a
The Rio = The Ree-O
Hooters = Hooters (that"s handy :D)
I need a piss = can you show me the way to the restroom please ;D
just one more beer = jus juan mor beeeeer pleez ;D
wassop = WSOP
YEEEESSSSS, C"MOOOOOOON = Thank you for the nice bracelet :o

You"re nearly right but Harrahs is pronounced like (hip hip) hoorah but replace the oo with an a ;D ;D
Thanks for the top advice!
See you there Brendan, I"ll be around the Starbucks on the way down to the playing area about 9.45 on Friday. The 10 o"clock start for the seniors is still tilting me but there you go.

Right, next stop Vegas. My bag has been dropped off and I"ve got my boarding pass. Work was super busy right up to the end of today so now I can start to think about the holiday.
On a related point, I"ve been meaning to get an i-pad but haven"t got around to it. Assuming I bought one in Vegas, there isn"t anything significantly different with an American one is there?
My plan for tomorrow is to do my best to enjoy the flight, get checked in at the Rio, get my two wsop entries paid so that the dollars are handed over, and then have a relaxing few hours with the possibility of a few beers and some low limit table games. If I can go through to around midnight that should be me done and that will be about right as the seniors starts on Friday morning.
Whatever happens on the poker tables, my aim is to enjoy the two weeks first and foremost.
I hear that Joe bubbled a Venetian deepstack when his AA did not hold v 33. It can be a tough game sometimes. Still, I"m sure the thought of me turning up tomorrow is more than adequate compensation ;D ;D
I"ll update as often as I can.
