Traveling

Going to be setting up plans to go to Thailand soon. Been talking about going with some people for a while, and we're probably going to figure out when we're going in the next couple weeks. Looks like we might go in November. It's supposed to be real cool there; different islands to go to, lots of partying, new culture, etc... It's wayyy cheap too, so we can live like kings and not spend a ridiculous amount of money. A bunch of poker pros have moved there for cheap living, ability to live outside the US(to get on foreign poker sites), party life there, etc... The island where the movie "The Beach" was shot was in Thailand. Have only heard cool things about it, so we're gonna head out there finally.

I've been traveling a decent amount this year. Vegas a few times, east coast a few times, Mexico etc... Traveling definitely helps break up the grind of playing a lot of poker. Rather than being lazy and not playing a lot of poker, I'd rather just play a ton when I'm here, and then take time off to travel and do cool stuff. So far this year I've been to: New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma, California, Mexico and Canada. Thailand in the works, and might hit up some other countries next year. Might be cool to try out a cruise. Sending my parents on one for their anniversary this year to the Bahamas. Gonna see how they like it and maybe go on one myself sometime next year. Also, definitely gonna to hit up Vancouver soon. Probably before the year's out hopefully. Definitely the main benefit in working for yourself. Doing whatever you want, whenever you want. So if you're working a job, don't get trapped, get out while you're young!
