    I decided about 3 weeks ago that i'm going to head over to Vegas in July to catch the start of the biggest poker tournament in the world. Its taken me a while to sort out who's going and to try and get the best deal which i finally found last night. Everything was ready so it was time to book the holiday.

    First things first, i cleared off 3k from my credit card through online banking thursday evening. I checked my account at 1pm today and the 3k wasnt cleared from my card despite being gone from my bank balance. Ok so now i hadn't enough to book the flights for the 2 of us but i still had enough to book the hotel.

    I tried to log into the 2 sites i was checking out all week and they were both blocked by the "fun police" in my job. Strange that i was on them a lot looking for the right deal but couldnt access them today.

    Had to wait til i got home to book, so got in from work at 9pm, switched on the pc and my internet wasnt working. Couldnt figure it out. I tried the phone line and it was grand but no internet. I'm after digging a load of spare connection leads out and change all the ones in my modem and finally got connected up, wahoooooo!!

    Now i'm really beginning to think that maybe i'm not meant to go on this holiday. 3 times today i've been severely hindered trying to book online so is there someone trying to get through to me? My flight date will be July 4th, Independence Day.

    My uncle died last Wednesday and his funeral is on Tuesday. Is he telling me something?

    Come on now, you really going to miss WSOP??
    My intuition is telling me that you need to be carefull over there with your money.
    I cant quite put my finger on it, but if I get something to pass on to you I will.
    Sorry to hear about your uncle :(
    but I dont think he is trying to tell you not to go.
    Are you worried about flying out on 4rth july?

    I would say go, but I will say to change what you were planning to do with your money?

    Maybe i was getting a sign, maybe i wasnt but i got a phone call today from a friend and i am now getting 2 flights to LA for €180 and a connecting flight to Vegas is only about €100 so i'm saving over €700.

    I'm going to be an optimist and take this as the reason i couldnt book flights and accom earlier!

    Thats not too bad then, and you were panicking.

    Will you be playing much while you are over? I think it would be good to see, saw pictures on the net of vegas and thought it looked class. maybe one day I will get over.

    It was weird seeing someone from the poker forum here!, although it was someone from there that told me about boards and the paranormal forum.

    I hope you enjoy Vegas, but Im sure you will anyway :D

    I'm only going over to play poker so i'll be playing more than i'm not! I was already over in January for 10 days and it is a class place. Theres a lot to do there and an amazing place to see. I think you should go.

    I'm all over this forum..95% of it is on the poker forum but i do lurk and post in other forums. Thanks for your best wishes mate ;)
