Vancouver Olympics
The days to the start of the 2010 Winter Olympics are now quickly counting down. There are just 78 days until the Opening ceremonies and 83 days until I get there.
The torch run is making its way across Canada and then back. Hopefully as it stops in towns and cities it will start to bring the Olympic Spirt with it. Is it just me or was there more anticipation ahead of the 1988 Games? Shouldn't there be a greater felling of excitement? I'm starting to think we've become a nation of party poopers and navel gazers. Come on people its our party we need to actually start to have fun with this. For those who are against the Games I say "Shut Up and Sit Down". You've had your say. The Games are coming whether you like it or not. You don't have to join the party just don't ruin it for the rest of us.
I've been looking forward to this trip since Vancouver won the bid on July 2, 2003.
I've book my tickets, rented an RV for accomodations and have booked airfare.
All I need to do now is wait for the tickets to arrive, try to get more figure skating tickets,and pack.
