Poker Face

Jenn and I arrived back to our hotel room after meeting Rhynie and the gang. We turned on the TV, flipped through the channels, and guess who we saw. Rhynie’s face prime and center on the taped airing of the Turks and Caicos world poker championship. Jenn and I burst out with laughter. I guess he wasn’t lying!

The next day Jenn and I took a ride to the other side of the island to check it out. We just wandered… and stared in amazement at the beautiful blue of the ocean as we got lost. Once we got back, Rhynie sent for one of his security guards to pick us up and take us to dinner. We ended up at this really fancy restaurant at a beautiful hotel. Infinity pools surrounded us and we ordered nearly everything on the menu, far more than any of the 10 of us at the table could possibly eat. What’s more, the drinks kept a flowing towards us. I can’t even imagine what the bill could have been. We ended the night partying at a bar down the street, they were having a big locals party that we checked out. Jenn and I danced up a storm.

The next day we hung out like old friends over Rhynie’s while he had a hockey olympic party (hockey is actually huge on the island because there are so many Canadians that spend a lot of time in Turks and Caicos, and we know how Canadians love their hockey).. . we spent a lot of time playing cards, and even got the chance to play against the champion himself, while learning some important poker lessons of course. I didn’t do so well, but Jenn actually held her own. She may have even beat one of his hands… or so she thought! 
