My World Poker Tour
Its been months since an update, but I swear I have a good reason. No, I havent been in the WPT, but I have been playing poker and touring. ATM, Im writing from a poolside hammock in the Caribbean.
In August, Melanie and I embarked on a 10 month adventure around the world. We started with a 3 week sailing trip through the Windward Islands in the Caribbean on a balla 47 Catamaran. Then, we road tripped across Ontario, Quebec, and Michigan. Montreal was A BLAST, and I would happily move there–for the summers at least.
In September, we flew from Toronto to Lima and trekked across Peru for a month. Of course we visited Machu Picchu plus many other Inca ruins. Our Peruvian trek included a 7 day safari expedition through the Amazon and a vast amount of wildlife: native peeps (not all that wild actually), pink dolphins, piranha, caiman, tarantula, exotic birds and plants, and some delicious smelling/tasting flora and fish. We can also now safely say that neither of us contracted Malaria despite a number of mosquito bites.
We flew to Bogota in early October and have been making our way across Colombia. Yesterday, we completed our Advanced diver certification here in Taganga and today we head to Cartagena where well spend Halloween. By November, we should hit Ecuador and hopefully the Gallapagos. And then its Bali for Christmas, South East Asia and India for the spring, and a few highlights in Europe before heading back home.
Im playing poker and coaching as I go to help fund the trip as well as sussing out local scenes for poker viability. Bogota was hard to crack, but Im going to try some casinos again in Cartagena. Anyone else played live cash in Colombia?
Any must-see cities or sites based on our itinerary?
