MONTE CARLO, November 23, 2005 - I departed for Monte Carlo on Friday. The flight from LAX was long. I never feel asleep, although I wish I could have. There were two in-flight movies, Must Love Dogs and A Lot Like Love. There was one stop in Germany on the way. I needed the two hour layover just to walk from my arriving terminal to my terminal of departure. It was a looong way. Phil Helmuth joined the party for the connecting flight from Frankfurt to Nice. There were cars waiting at the airport to take us on a short ride to our hotel.

I arrived at my hotel on Saturday around 3pm. I am staying at the Freemont Hotel (formerly the Monte Carlo Grand Hotel) which is right on the water. There was a letter waiting for me at the front desk reminding me of a 5pm staff meeting. That left just enough time for me to freshen up and meet the rest of the team.
