The PCA is always fun; I just wish it were somewhere else. The PCA would be fun almost anywhere in the world, but I tire of the Atlantis resort.
I play so bad. I haven't done this in years, but I forgot to do the online check-in thing for my 14-hour flight from SFO to HKG. Result: only middle seats available. Even inquired about paying cash for an upgrade to business (which is generally on my "not gonna do it, that's a massive waste of money" list), but they said business was oversold and they would be downgrading people. Hoped and even volunteered for a bump, but no luck. Wasn't all too bad though; it was the red-eye, so I slept at least 6 hours of it.
If I do go to PCA from Hong Kong next year, I'm taking the other way back. Something like Nassau -> Miami -> London -> Prague -> Dubai -> Hong Kong might be fun.
With Tokyo out of the way, I think the list of the top cities I've never been to but really want to visit now looks something like (not in order): Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, St. Petersburg, Prague and Montreal. Note that PokerStars currently hosts or has hosted tournaments in four of those five cities. (Sponsorship, one time?)
