I'll certainly be looking for good spots between poker destinations that I just want to see/experience. Houston and Austin will be on the list, even though they don't have poker as far as I know.

I think it's still that way, but I'll look into it. I've never been to Colorado and would love to see it... But it may be hard to fit into this trip as the early barebones are Florida, New Orleans, Texas, Vegas. It might fit on the return trip.

Excited for you man, and I'll be doing a lot of road tripping in the spring so perhaps we'll meet up somewhere in the grand old USA
If nothing else, we'll definitely cross paths back in Vegas for the WSOP.

Yeah, it won't be then, though. For those months Florida in January, New Orleans in February and Florida in March would be a nice little back and forth.

OK, cool. I could see passing through there if I took a northern route back to pass through Chicago, then shot down to Indy and across from there.
