[ U.S. Road Trip ] First Itinirary Details

Quick update on what is likely going to be the trip of the year in terms of #allineverywhere . I am working on my U.S. itinerary and I am still looking for potential travel partners in case anybody out there cares to join.

Thanks to Poker Firma who are supporting my plans of never going home, I think I will soon buy a ticket to Florida to cross the Atlantic​ in late April/early May since I have never been in southern eastern states. It's a bit far from my main Poker destination, Las Vegas, but, on the other hand, it will force me to go places before I reach Vegas and get stuck in the cash game and WSOP reporting grind.

Itinerary ideas for 2022

It looks like Miami will be my entry point in the U.S. but that's not where I am genuinely interested in staying a lot. If the weather and flight conditions are right and no delay is announced, I would love to go watch the SpaceX take off of a Falcon 9 rocket launching a Dragon capsule to the International Space Station from Complexe 39A at Kennedy Space Center on 1st May.

From there, it will be Poker time with a lot of new locations I am planning to visit!

ALTERNATIVE to save 5 nights: flight to Phoenix from New Orleans

370km to Gran Canyon

- Gran Canyon, Arizona :: hike & photos

- reach Las Vegas, Nevada (late May/early June) 28-30 nights after landing in Florida

I will most likely stay in Nevada roughly until the end of the WSOP a bit after mid-July and I am thinking about making my way back to the East via the Great Lakes area towards NY & Atlantic City or maybe cross the Great Plains before some Mid West and Deep South states ...
