Sitting in the airport waiting for my first flight, hoping that my moneys don't get stolen on the way there. When's everyone else getting there?

i arrive at 1:40pm i think. where are we meant to go to from the airport? is the hotel right at the river rock?

Yeah, the casino is connected to the hotel and I heard that the hotel is within walking distance from the airport. I think I arrive at 1:40 too... you're flying from seattle?

You don't want to walk from the airport to the hotel with luggage. CDN$5 to $6 cab ride. You could walk on a nice day (which it is here, at the moment) with no bags - probably 30 minutes, but pretty busy roads/overpasses, etc. Just take a cab and gaze at the mountains.

Just because I could walk doesn't mean I'm going to. Have you seen me?

You're a young guy, the walk wouldn't actually do any harm, you might be on a new fitness kick - I didn't think I should rule it out, who knows . . . [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Good luck in the tourny and don't forget come into town for apres-poker - the casino and hotel are actually in Richmond, not Vancouver, and it's pretty bleak out there, so you'll want to cross the bridge into town when you have a chance.

Yeah. I'm on Air Canada flight 8094, leaving at 12:50.

I'm real tired.

i will probably arrive at the casino 10 minutes before the events i'm playing :P. I think i will just play the 6max event and main event, everything else besides pl holdem maybe is just not worth it.
