Back and ready to stop being lazy

Damn, I've been lazy. Hawaii and Australia were amazing(some pics below). Unfortunately, I came down with some nasty cough in Mid January and didn't stay in Australia as long as I would've liked. I did get to play in 2 events in the Aussie Millions. I cashed in 24th place in event 7(Results) . Didn't do as well in the main event as I only lasted about 6 hours. With 30 big blinds I pushed over a raiser and a caller only to run into AA. Overall I thought played ok. I misplayed 1 or 2 hands but really nothing incredibly donkish. If all goes as planned I'll be making another trip over there next year.

After I came back I had a decision on whether to get a place in my hometown or make the jump to Las Vegas. I went out to Vegas to look at places but realized that I really wasn't ready to live the Vegas lifestyle. Instead I got probably the sweetest apartment in Cape Girardeau. It's 2400 sq ft and has a loft/office that overlooks the river.





Overlooking Waipio Valley on the Big island. There's a mile long road to the bottom in which you are only supposed to drive down if you have 4 wheel drive. Needless, to say the walk back up it was a helluva workout.



One of the many waterfalls that I saw. This one is supposedly the biggest in Hawaii.



This was my "best" picture. It's was taken at A'Beach about 30 miles north of Kona.



Me at Sydney Harbor taken near the famous Opera House.
