Poker Cruise Today

I haven't been on a poker cruise in a long time, but we're leaving today for a seven-day Mexican Riviera cruise. It's one I've done a couple of times before, and I love it. For me it's an easy commute--just a two-hour drive from Palm Springs to Los Angeles instead of a long flight to either Florida or Seattle--where so many other cruises depart from.

We leave Los Angeles at 5:00 pm Sunday, and return 7 am Sunday morning. This cruise is run by Sunshine Poker Cruises, a relative newcomer to the cruise business. They operate a spacious non-smoking poker room accommodating 8 to 10 poker tables with a professional and friendly staff.

I'll be on hand to play and give a few poker seminars, sell and sign books, and have a grand time in the process. Ports of Call include Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday from 10:30 am to 6:00 p.m., Mazatlan on Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 pm, and Puerto Vallarta on Thursday from 8:00 am to 8 p.m.

I'll have my computer with me, so I suppose I'll post something to my blog during one or two of the days at sea, but I hope to be blissfully out of touch with most of the world for much of the week.

Ports of call and poker ... about as good as it gets.
